Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 976 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (mechanical fit requirement)
• Composition: Thin Film (electrical performance class)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum envelope)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling requirement)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Power Rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.1W
• Temperature Coefficient: May be equal to or lower absolute value than ±50ppm/°C

All four identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct equivalents or upgrades.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0603BRD07976RL (YAGEO): Tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) provide enhanced precision over the main part. Identical package, power rating, and compliance profile. Suitable for applications requiring higher accuracy without design changes.

RT0603DRD07976RL (YAGEO): Mid-tolerance option (±0.5%) with improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). Maintains identical mechanical and electrical envelope. Appropriate for applications where moderate tolerance improvement is beneficial.

ERA-3AEB9760V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Offers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Identical package and power rating. Select for automotive or high-reliability applications requiring automotive-grade certification.

RP73PF1J976RBTDF (TE Connectivity Passive Product): Provides ±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and elevated power rating (0.167W vs. 0.1W). Slightly smaller physical dimensions (1.55mm vs. 1.60mm length). Select when higher power dissipation margin or enhanced precision is required within the same package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD07976RL replace RT0603FRE07976RL directly on the circuit board?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions, footprint, and mechanical mounting requirements. The tighter tolerance and improved temperature coefficient of RT0603BRD07976RL represent performance enhancements with no design modification needed.

Q: What is the difference between the tolerance specifications?

A: RT0603FRE07976RL carries ±1% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance value falls within 967.24 to 984.76 Ohms. Substitute parts with ±0.1% or ±0.5% tolerance provide narrower resistance bands, reducing circuit performance variation. Selection depends on application precision requirements.

Q: Is ERA-3AEB9760V suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade reliability and testing but does not restrict use in general industrial or consumer applications. The component meets all standard compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL-1) for general use.

Q: How does the power rating difference in RP73PF1J976RBTDF affect circuit design?

A: RP73PF1J976RBTDF is rated at 0.167W versus 0.1W for the main part. This higher power rating provides additional thermal margin in the same package size. No design changes are required; the component operates within the same voltage and current envelope as the original specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, matching the original RT0603FRE07976RL format for automated assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of Temperature Coefficient values?

A: Temperature Coefficient (±50ppm/°C vs. ±25ppm/°C) indicates resistance change per degree Celsius. Lower absolute values represent better stability across temperature extremes. Substitute parts with ±25ppm/°C provide superior performance in temperature-sensitive applications.
