RE0805FRE073KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RE0805FRE073KL is a 3 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This component is actively produced and widely used in general-purpose electronic applications requiring standard tolerance resistive elements. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit tolerance relaxation, power rating increases, or when alternative qualified manufacturers are preferred for supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE0805FRE073KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 3 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower value) than ±1%
• Power Rating: May be equal or higher than 0.125W
• Manufacturer: Alternative qualified manufacturers permitted
• Certifications: Additional qualifications (e.g., AEC-Q200) permitted

The identified substitutes are Panasonic ERJ-PB6 series resistors, which maintain all mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance specifications and higher power ratings suitable for applications where the original part specifications are exceeded.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RE0805FRE073KL (YAGEO): Primary selection for general-purpose applications where standard ±1% tolerance and 0.125W power rating meet circuit requirements. Active product status with established supply availability.

ERJ-PB6B3001V (Panasonic): Direct substitute offering superior tolerance specification (±0.1%) and increased power rating (0.25W) with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or automotive-grade reliability.

ERJ-PB6D3001V (Panasonic): Direct substitute with intermediate tolerance (±0.5%) and increased power rating (0.25W) with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Appropriate for applications requiring automotive qualification without the cost premium of ±0.1% tolerance.

All substitute parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, thermal characteristics, and environmental compliance with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-PB6B3001V or ERJ-PB6D3001V be used as direct replacements for RE0805FRE073KL?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts are direct substitutes. They maintain identical resistance value, package dimensions, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The increased power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W) and tighter tolerance specifications represent improvements over the original part and do not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for the RE0805FRE073KL.

Q: What is the difference between ERJ-PB6B3001V and ERJ-PB6D3001V?

A: Both parts are identical except for tolerance specification. ERJ-PB6B3001V offers ±0.1% tolerance, while ERJ-PB6D3001V offers ±0.5% tolerance. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements. Both include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and 0.25W power rating.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: All three parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079" / 2.00mm) and width (0.049" / 1.25mm). Maximum seated height differs slightly: RE0805FRE073KL at 0.024" (0.60mm) versus Panasonic parts at 0.028" (0.70mm). This difference does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard 0805 footprints.

Q: Do the Panasonic substitutes require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. All parts share identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are consistent across all three parts.

Q: When should I select the Panasonic AEC-Q200 qualified parts over the YAGEO original?

A: Select Panasonic substitutes when automotive-grade reliability is required, when tighter tolerance control improves circuit performance, or when higher power dissipation capability is beneficial. The original YAGEO part remains appropriate for general-purpose applications where automotive qualification is not specified.
