RT0402FRE07976RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0402FRE07976RL is a 976 Ohms ±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 with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, power ratings, and environmental specifications align with the original component's electrical and mechanical requirements. Alternative sources provide enhanced tolerance specifications or automotive-grade certifications while maintaining form-factor compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Resistance Value: All substitute parts maintain 976 Ohms nominal resistance
Package Compatibility: All alternatives use 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W)
Power Rating: All substitutes are rated for 0.063W (1/16W) minimum
Operating Temperature Range: All parts support -55°C to 155°C minimum
Composition: All parts use thin film construction
Regulatory Compliance: All parts meet ROHS3 and MSL 1 requirements

Substitute parts are grouped by tolerance specification. The RT0402FRE07976RL operates at ±1% tolerance. Enhanced-tolerance alternatives (±0.1%) provide tighter resistance accuracy while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility. One substitute (ERA-2AEB9760X) includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD07976RL replace RT0402FRE07976RL directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical 0402 package dimensions, 976 Ohms resistance, 0.063W power rating, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. RT0402BRD07976RL provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient, making it a direct upgrade with improved performance characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between ±1% and ±0.1% tolerance?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from nominal resistance value. RT0402FRE07976RL (±1%) allows resistance between 966.24 Ω and 985.76 Ω. Substitute parts with ±0.1% tolerance maintain resistance between 975.024 Ω and 976.976 Ω, providing significantly tighter accuracy for precision circuit applications.

Q: Is ERA-2AEB9760X suitable for all applications?

A: ERA-2AEB9760X is mechanically compatible with all standard 0402 footprints. However, its maximum seated height is 0.016" (0.40mm) compared to 0.014" (0.35mm) for other alternatives. Verify PCB clearance specifications before selection for height-constrained designs.

Q: Why does RN73C1E976RBTDF have lower temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C) indicates resistance change per degree Celsius. Lower values mean better thermal stability. RN73C1E976RBTDF maintains more stable resistance across temperature variations, beneficial for precision analog circuits and temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original RT0402FRE07976RL environmental specifications.

Q: Which substitute has the best inventory availability?

A: ERA-2AEB9760X (Panasonic) offers highest inventory at 26,300 pcs. RT0402BRD07976RL (YAGEO) provides 30,041 pcs. RN73C1E976RBTDF has limited availability at 650 pcs.
