Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0603FRE07232KL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 232 kOhms
• Package / Case: Must be 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Must be Thin Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS Status: Must be ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Performance): Parts with tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). These maintain or exceed the original specifications while providing improved accuracy and stability.

Direct Substitutes (Equivalent Performance): Parts meeting all mandatory parameters with equivalent or superior electrical characteristics. The TE Connectivity part features higher power rating (0.167W vs 0.1W), providing additional thermal margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0603BRD07232KL (YAGEO): Direct upgrade within the same manufacturer series. Offers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with identical package and power rating. Maintains ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity. Suitable for applications requiring improved accuracy without automotive qualification requirements.

2-2176090-5 (TE Connectivity): Equivalent direct substitute with higher power rating (0.167W). Provides thermal margin for designs operating near power limits. Maintains ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. ROHS3 compliant. Appropriate for general industrial applications where enhanced power dissipation capability is beneficial.

ERA-3AEB2323V (Panasonic): Upgrade substitute with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Delivers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Required for automotive applications or designs subject to automotive-grade component specifications.

RG1608P-2323-B-T5 (Susumu): Premium upgrade substitute combining AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur protection. Provides ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. ROHS3 compliant. Specified for automotive and harsh environment applications where sulfur corrosion resistance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD07232KL replace RT0603FRE07232KL in any application?

A: Yes. RT0603BRD07232KL is a direct upgrade with superior tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). All other parameters including package, power rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications are identical. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity 2-2176090-5 and other substitutes?

A: The 2-2176090-5 features a higher power rating (0.167W vs 0.1W) while maintaining the same 0603 package footprint. This provides additional thermal headroom for designs operating at elevated power dissipation levels. Tolerance and temperature coefficient match other upgrade options at ±0.1% and ±25ppm/°C respectively.

Q: When should ERA-3AEB2323V or RG1608P-2323-B-T5 be selected?

A: ERA-3AEB2323V is required for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. RG1608P-2323-B-T5 should be selected when both automotive qualification and anti-sulfur protection are specified, particularly for applications in corrosive environments or high-reliability automotive systems.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original RT0603FRE07232KL?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical two-termination configuration and footprint. No PCB layout modifications are necessary for any substitution.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: RT0603BRD07232KL: 9,108 units. 2-2176090-5: 1,678 units. ERA-3AEB2323V: 12,276 units. RG1608P-2323-B-T5: 15,673 units. All parts are actively produced and in stock.
