Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE1206FRE073K3L are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Electrical Equivalence: Identical resistance value (3.3 kOhms) and tolerance (±1%)
• Power Rating: Matching 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation capability
• Package Compatibility: 1206 (3216 Metric) footprint and form factor
• Thermal Characteristics: Temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C and operating range of -55°C ~ 155°C
• Composition: Thick film construction
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Termination: 2-terminal configuration

The CRCW12063K30FHEAP from Vishay Dale meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12063K30FHEAP replace RE1206FRE073K3L in my design?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (3.3 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is that CRCW12063K30FHEAP includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, while RE1206FRE073K3L does not specify this certification. Both meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: The components have equivalent 1206 package footprints. Minor dimensional variations exist: RE1206FRE073K3L measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height, while CRCW12063K30FHEAP measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.024" max height. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Which part should I select for automotive applications?

A: CRCW12063K30FHEAP is recommended for automotive applications due to its AEC-Q200 qualification. RE1206FRE073K3L is suitable for general-purpose applications.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. RE1206FRE073K3L has 1099 pieces in stock, and CRCW12063K30FHEAP has 6011 pieces in stock.
