Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0603FRE0788R7L is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 88.7 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.1W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (equal or wider range acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better (required)

Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering margins for the application, provided all other parameters remain within specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RT0603FRE0788R7L within the specified parameter constraints.

RT0603BRD0788R7L is a direct YAGEO series upgrade offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications.

ERA-3AEB88R7V is a Panasonic equivalent offering identical tolerance and temperature coefficient improvements as the RT0603BRD0788R7L, with the addition of Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and traceability.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD0788R7L replace RT0603FRE0788R7L in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (88.7 Ohms), package (0603), power rating (0.1W), composition (Thin Film), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute offers superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Q: What is the difference between RT0603BRD0788R7L and ERA-3AEB88R7V?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and operating temperature specifications. ERA-3AEB88R7V includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring specific reliability and qualification standards.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W, 1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum seated height (0.022" / 0.55mm). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Which substitute should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For general applications, RT0603BRD0788R7L provides improved tolerance and temperature stability. For automotive applications, ERA-3AEB88R7V provides AEC-Q200 qualification and automotive-grade reliability assurance.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions and unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions.
