RT0402FRE07487RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0402FRE07487RL is a 487 Ohm ±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 and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified where electrical specifications (resistance value, package, power rating, operating temperature range) and mechanical dimensions remain equivalent or superior, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Resistance Value: Must be 487 Ohms
Package: Must be 0402 (1005 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W)
Power Rating: Must be 0.063W (1/16W) minimum
Operating Temperature Range: Must span -55°C to 155°C minimum
Composition: Thin film construction
Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rating

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Tolerance specifications may vary (±1% to ±0.1%), and temperature coefficient performance may differ, but these represent performance enhancements rather than compatibility limitations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between equivalents should be based on the following provided specifications:

RT0402BRD07487RL (YAGEO): Direct upgrade from the main part with improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Identical package and height specifications.

CPF0402B487RE1 (TE Connectivity): Offers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Neohm series designation. Identical dimensional specifications to main part.

ERA-2AEB4870X (Panasonic): Provides ±0.1% tolerance with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Temperature coefficient ±25ppm/°C. Height specification 0.016" (0.40mm) represents maximum seated height within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances. Highest inventory availability (36,834 pcs).

RN73C1E487RBTDF (TE Connectivity): Superior temperature coefficient performance at ±10ppm/°C with ±0.1% tolerance. Holsworthy series. Limited inventory (744 pcs). REACH status listed as Vendor Undefined.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD07487RL replace RT0402FRE07487RL directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical 0402 package dimensions, power rating, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct upgrade.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±1% and ±0.1%? A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal 487 Ohm resistance value. ±1% allows ±4.87 Ohm deviation; ±0.1% allows ±0.487 Ohm deviation. Selection depends on circuit precision requirements.

Q: Is ERA-2AEB4870X suitable for automotive applications? A: ERA-2AEB4870X carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The main part (RT0402FRE07487RL) does not specify automotive rating. Use ERA-2AEB4870X only if automotive qualification is required.

Q: Does the 0.016" height of ERA-2AEB4870X affect PCB assembly compatibility? A: ERA-2AEB4870X maximum seated height is 0.016" (0.40mm) versus 0.014" (0.35mm) for other parts. This 0.002" difference falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not prevent direct substitution.

Q: What does temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) indicate? A: Temperature coefficient specifies resistance value change per degree Celsius. Lower values indicate greater stability across temperature variations. RN73C1E487RBTDF (±10ppm/°C) provides superior thermal stability compared to the main part (±50ppm/°C).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the main part specifications.
