Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0402FRE07536RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 536 Ohms
• Package type: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal or tighter (±1% or better)
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal or lower (±50ppm/°C or better)
• Physical height: Seated height up to 0.016" (0.40mm) acceptable within 0402 package constraints

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original RT0402FRE07536RL specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0402BRD07536RL (YAGEO): Direct upgrade within the same manufacturer series. Offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package dimensions and electrical ratings. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without automotive qualification requirements.

CPF0402B536RE1 (TE Connectivity Passive Product): Equivalent performance to RT0402BRD07536RL with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Provides alternative sourcing from a major passive component manufacturer. Identical package and thermal specifications. Appropriate for applications requiring multi-source component availability.

ERA-2AEB5360X (Panasonic Electronic Components): Automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualified resistor with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Seated height is 0.016" (0.40mm), within acceptable 0402 package tolerance. Suitable for automotive applications, industrial environments, or designs requiring enhanced reliability certification. Higher inventory availability supports volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD07536RL be used as a direct replacement for RT0402FRE07536RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (536 Ohms), package (0402), power rating (0.063W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it a compatible upgrade.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: All three substitutes provide 536 Ohms ±0.1% with ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient in 0402 package. The primary differences are manufacturer (YAGEO, TE Connectivity, or Panasonic) and automotive qualification (ERA-2AEB5360X carries AEC-Q200 rating). Physical height varies slightly: RT0402BRD07536RL and CPF0402B536RE1 are 0.014" (0.35mm), while ERA-2AEB5360X is 0.016" (0.40mm), both within 0402 specification.

Q: Is the ERA-2AEB5360X suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability and stricter manufacturing controls. The part is fully compatible with standard commercial applications and provides additional quality assurance.

Q: Will the tighter tolerance of substitute parts affect circuit performance?

A: Substitute parts with ±0.1% tolerance provide improved resistance accuracy compared to the original ±1% specification. This results in tighter circuit performance and reduced tolerance stack-up in precision applications. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts (main and substitutes) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage processes.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production run?

A: Yes. All parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameters. Mixed sourcing is acceptable provided component traceability and documentation requirements are met.
