RT0201DRD072KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0201DRD072KL is a 2 kOhms ±0.5% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and accommodate alternative sourcing strategies while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0201DRD072KL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 2 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 0201 (0603 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be rated for minimum 0.05W (1/20W)
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C ensures thermal stability consistency
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating required for regulatory and manufacturing compatibility

The ERA-1AEB202C from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. While the Panasonic part offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and extended upper operating temperature (155°C versus 125°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations from the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT0201DRD072KL and ERA-1AEB202C maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The Panasonic ERA-1AEB202C offers tighter tolerance specification (±0.1%) and broader operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) compared to the YAGEO part (-55°C to 125°C). Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements for tolerance precision and thermal operating conditions. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and manufacturing compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-1AEB202C replace RT0201DRD072KL in all applications?

A: Yes, the ERA-1AEB202C is electrically and mechanically compatible. The improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and extended temperature range represent performance enhancements that do not create incompatibility with designs specified for the original part.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). PCB footprints are directly interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: The temperature coefficient defines resistance drift over the operating temperature range. Both parts maintain identical ±25ppm/°C specification, ensuring consistent thermal performance characteristics across the supported temperature ranges.

Q: Do both parts require identical handling and storage procedures?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component storage practices apply to both parts.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The 0201 package specification is identical, ensuring compatibility with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment.
