Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (976 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (AEC-Q200, ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Physical dimensions and height variations within the 1206 package envelope do not affect functional substitution. Product status and inventory availability are provided for sourcing consideration but do not affect electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW1206976RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and AC1206FR-07976RL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain active product status, full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and ROHS3 compliance. CRCW1206976RFKEA offers the highest inventory availability at 15,949 units. AC1206FR-07976RL includes moisture-resistant features and is manufacturer-recommended for this application.

RC1206FR-07976RL (YAGEO) is functionally equivalent but lacks AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for non-automotive applications requiring moisture resistance and ROHS3 compliance.

ERJ-8ENF9760V (Panasonic) maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence with AEC-Q200 qualification but carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is available in high volume (182,489 units) and may be used for legacy system support or existing design continuity where new design constraints do not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206976RFKEA replace RMCF1206FT976R in automotive applications? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching 976 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, 1206 package, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical height difference (0.024" vs 0.028") remains within 1206 package specifications.

Q: What is the difference between AC1206FR-07976RL and RC1206FR-07976RL? A: AC1206FR-07976RL includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and moisture-resistant features. RC1206FR-07976RL provides moisture resistance without automotive qualification. Both share identical electrical parameters and 1206 package compatibility.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF9760V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has transitioned the product line. The part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and is available in high volume for existing applications or legacy system support.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance requirements with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB? A: Yes. All substitutes share identical 1206 package footprints, electrical specifications, and operating parameters. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.
