Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE0805FRE0768KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical Resistance Value: 68 kOhms
• Compatible Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) with matching footprint dimensions
• Matching Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Matching Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Equal or Better Tolerance: ±1% or tighter (±0.5%, ±0.1%)
• Equal or Greater Power Rating: 0.125W or higher
• Equivalent or Superior Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The identified substitutes from Panasonic Electronic Components (ERJ-PB6 series) meet all these criteria while offering enhanced specifications including tighter tolerance and higher power ratings. Both substitutes maintain identical mechanical compatibility and thermal characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RE0805FRE0768KL (YAGEO): Select this part for standard general-purpose applications where ±1% tolerance and 0.125W power rating are sufficient. This part is actively produced with established supply availability.

ERJ-PB6B6802V (Panasonic): Select this part when tighter tolerance (±0.1%) is required or when automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200) is mandated. The higher power rating (0.25W) provides additional thermal margin. This part is suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

ERJ-PB6D6802V (Panasonic): Select this part as a mid-tolerance alternative (±0.5%) with automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200) and higher power rating (0.25W). This part balances enhanced specifications with cost considerations and is suitable for automotive applications requiring moderate tolerance control.

All three parts maintain identical electrical performance in terms of resistance value, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are tolerance specification, power rating, and automotive certification status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-PB6B6802V or ERJ-PB6D6802V be used as direct replacements for RE0805FRE0768KL?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts are direct substitutes. They share identical resistance value (68 kOhms), package (0805), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The Panasonic parts offer equal or superior specifications with tighter tolerance and higher power ratings.

Q: What is the impact of the height difference between parts?

A: The RE0805FRE0768KL has a maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm), while both Panasonic substitutes have a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect footprint compatibility or soldering process parameters for 0805 packages.

Q: Are the Panasonic parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Both ERJ-PB6B6802V and ERJ-PB6D6802V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RE0805FRE0768KL does not specify automotive certification. If automotive-grade components are required, select either Panasonic substitute.

Q: What tolerance should I select?

A: Select based on circuit requirements. The RE0805FRE0768KL provides ±1% tolerance for general applications. The ERJ-PB6D6802V offers ±0.5% for improved accuracy. The ERJ-PB6B6802V provides ±0.1% for precision applications requiring tight tolerance control.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts (RE0805FRE0768KL, ERJ-PB6B6802V, and ERJ-PB6D6802V) are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.
