RT0402BRE07604RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0402BRE07604RL is a 604 Ohm ±0.1% thin film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This precision resistor is rated for 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for general industrial and commercial applications. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when primary inventory is unavailable or when application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification or enhanced environmental protection are needed.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0402BRE07604RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 604 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.063W / 1/16W (exact match required)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (required for storage and handling)

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C vs. ±25ppm/°C) and additional features (automotive qualification, anti-sulfur protection) represent enhancements that do not prevent substitution but may offer improved performance characteristics for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RT0402BRE07604RL and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Standard Industrial Applications: RT0402BRD07604RL (YAGEO) and CPF0402B604RE1 (TE Connectivity) are direct equivalents with improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C). Both maintain identical package dimensions and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Automotive Applications: ERA-2AEB6040X (Panasonic) and RG1005P-6040-B-T5 (Susumu) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The Susumu part additionally includes anti-sulfur protection. Both feature ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient and are suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs.

Height Considerations: The main part and YAGEO RT0402BRD07604RL maintain 0.014" (0.35mm) maximum seated height. Panasonic ERA-2AEB6040X and Susumu RG1005P-6040-B-T5 have 0.016" (0.40mm) maximum seated height and may require PCB layout verification for space-constrained applications.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard storage and handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD07604RL be used as a direct replacement for RT0402BRE07604RL?

A: Yes. Both parts are YAGEO 604 Ohm ±0.1% thin film resistors in 0402 package with identical electrical specifications. RT0402BRD07604RL features improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C) and maintains the same package footprint and height.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-qualified parts?

A: ERA-2AEB6040X and RG1005P-6040-B-T5 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and environmental testing standards. These parts are suitable for automotive applications where such certification is required. Standard parts (RT0402BRE07604RL, RT0402BRD07604RL, CPF0402B604RE1) are suitable for general industrial and commercial use.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. RT0402BRE07604RL and RT0402BRD07604RL have maximum seated height of 0.014" (0.35mm). ERA-2AEB6040X and RG1005P-6040-B-T5 have maximum seated height of 0.016" (0.40mm). For space-constrained PCB designs, verify clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: What does temperature coefficient mean and why does it vary?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates how resistance value changes with temperature. RT0402BRE07604RL has ±50ppm/°C; substitute parts have ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient means better resistance stability across the operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). For precision applications, lower temperature coefficient is preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting regulatory requirements and standard handling procedures.

Q: Can ERA-2AEB6040X or RG1005P-6040-B-T5 be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive-qualified parts exceed standard requirements and are fully compatible with non-automotive applications. Their enhanced specifications and certifications provide additional reliability margin without functional restrictions.
