RT0402FRE072K8L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0402FRE072K8L is a 2.8 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface-mount device is rated for 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, and power ratings are maintained while offering improved tolerance specifications or enhanced certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT0402FRE072K8L are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 2.8 kOhms
• Identical package: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Identical power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical RoHS and MSL compliance

Substitute parts may differ in tolerance specification (±0.1% vs ±1%), temperature coefficient, and additional certifications (AEC-Q200, Anti-Sulfur). These variations represent functional upgrades or specialized variants suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or automotive-grade reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the RT0402FRE072K8L, ensuring direct functional compatibility in circuit applications. Selection among substitutes depends on application requirements:

RT0402BRD072K8L (YAGEO) offers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) while maintaining the same manufacturer and series lineage.

CPF0402B2K8E1 (TE Connectivity Passive Product, Neohm series) provides ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with equivalent performance characteristics.

ERA-2AEB2801X (Panasonic Electronic Components, ERA-2A series) includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards.

RG1005P-2801-B-T5 (Susumu, RG series) combines AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with Anti-Sulfur features, addressing corrosive environment applications while maintaining ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD072K8L directly replace RT0402FRE072K8L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (2.8 kOhms), package (0402), power rating (0.063W), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). RT0402BRD072K8L offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C).

Q: What is the difference between standard and AEC-Q200 qualified parts?

A: ERA-2AEB2801X and RG1005P-2801-B-T5 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. Standard parts (RT0402FRE072K8L, RT0402BRD072K8L, CPF0402B2K8E1) do not carry this certification.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same 0402 package?

A: Yes. All listed parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W / 1.00mm x 0.50mm), ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What does Anti-Sulfur feature mean in RG1005P-2801-B-T5?

A: Anti-Sulfur protection addresses corrosion resistance in environments with hydrogen sulfide exposure. This feature is specified in the part data and applies to the RG1005P-2801-B-T5 variant.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with ±0.1% tolerance in place of ±1% tolerance?

A: Yes. A tighter tolerance specification (±0.1%) is functionally compatible with applications designed for ±1% tolerance, as the actual resistance value remains within the original specification range.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
