Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RT0402FRE0761R9L is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: resistance value (61.9 Ohms), package type (0402/1005 Metric), power rating (0.063W/1/16W), composition (thin film), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1). All substitute parts listed maintain these core specifications. Tolerance improvements (from ±1% to ±0.1%) and temperature coefficient enhancements represent performance upgrades rather than functional requirements for substitution. The substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and include options with automotive-grade certification (AEC-Q200) for applications requiring enhanced reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RT0402FRE0761R9L. Selection among substitutes should be based on application-specific requirements:

CPF0402B61R9E1 (TE Connectivity Passive Product, Neohm series) provides improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) for general precision applications requiring tighter resistance control.

ERA-2AEB61R9X (Panasonic Electronic Components, ERA-2A series) offers the same tolerance and temperature coefficient improvements as the CPF0402B61R9E1 with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications where enhanced qualification standards are specified.

RN73C1E61R9BTDF (TE Connectivity Passive Product, RN73 Holsworthy series) delivers the lowest temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C) among all options, making it optimal for applications with stringent temperature stability requirements. This part maintains ±0.1% tolerance and full compliance with all baseline specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402FRE0761R9L be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance values (61.9 Ohms), power ratings (0.063W/1/16W), package types (0402/1005 Metric), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). Direct PCB-level substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specifications and temperature coefficients. The original RT0402FRE0761R9L carries ±1% tolerance with ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. All three substitutes improve to ±0.1% tolerance. Temperature coefficients vary: CPF0402B61R9E1 and ERA-2AEB61R9X offer ±25ppm/°C, while RN73C1E61R9BTDF provides ±10ppm/°C. ERA-2AEB61R9X additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification.

Q: Which substitute should I select for automotive applications?

A: ERA-2AEB61R9X is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is the appropriate choice for automotive circuit designs. The other substitutes lack automotive certification and should not be specified for automotive applications unless explicitly approved by design requirements.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RT0402FRE0761R9L and all three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. All parts are suitable for lead-free soldering processes.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these parts?

A: All parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical length and width (0.039" L x 0.020" W / 1.00mm x 0.50mm). Maximum seated height is 0.014" (0.35mm) for RT0402FRE0761R9L, CPF0402B61R9E1, and RN73C1E61R9BTDF. ERA-2AEB61R9X has a maximum seated height of 0.016" (0.40mm). This minor height difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly.

Q: Which substitute offers the best temperature stability?

A: RN73C1E61R9BTDF provides the lowest temperature coefficient at ±10ppm/°C, making it the optimal choice for applications requiring maximum temperature stability across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.
