RT0805CRE073K6L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805CRE073K6L is a 3.6 kOhms ±0.25% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface-mount device is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating suitability for standard PCB assembly processes.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching resistance value, package form factor, power rating, and operating temperature range. Equivalent devices may offer improved tolerance specifications, lower temperature coefficients, or automotive-grade certifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 3.6 kOhms
• Package Form Factor: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.125W (1/8W) minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements

Substitute parts may differ in tolerance (tighter specifications acceptable), temperature coefficient (lower values acceptable), and may include automotive-grade certifications (AEC-Q200) without affecting functional compatibility. All identified substitutes meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original RT0805CRE073K6L specification.

YAGEO RT0805BRD073K6L provides a direct upgrade within the same manufacturer series, offering improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package and power specifications.

Panasonic ERA-6A series (ERA-6AEB362V, ERA-6APB362V, ERA-6ARB362V, ERA-6ARW362V) offers automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification with progressively tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient specifications. ERA-6ARW362V provides the highest precision (±0.05% tolerance, ±10ppm/°C) for applications requiring superior stability.

Susumu RG2012P-362-B-T5 combines automotive AEC-Q200 certification with anti-sulfur protection, suitable for harsh environmental applications. Physical height is reduced (0.50mm vs 0.60mm maximum seated height) compared to other options.

Selection should be based on application requirements for tolerance, temperature stability, environmental protection, and automotive qualification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD073K6L replace RT0805CRE073K6L in any application?

A: Yes. RT0805BRD073K6L is electrically and mechanically compatible. It provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications where the original part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between YAGEO and Panasonic substitutes?

A: YAGEO RT0805BRD073K6L is a standard industrial-grade resistor. Panasonic ERA-6A series parts carry automotive AEC-Q200 certification, indicating qualification for automotive temperature cycling and reliability testing. Selection depends on application environment and certification requirements.

Q: Are Panasonic ERA-6A variants interchangeable with each other?

A: Yes, all ERA-6A variants (ERA-6AEB362V, ERA-6APB362V, ERA-6ARB362V, ERA-6ARW362V) are mechanically and electrically compatible in the 0805 package. They differ in tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications. Tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient variants can replace looser specifications without functional impact.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive electronics qualification standard. Parts meeting this specification have undergone stress testing for automotive applications, including temperature cycling, humidity, and vibration testing. This certification is required for automotive-grade designs but is optional for general industrial applications.

Q: Does the anti-sulfur feature of RG2012P-362-B-T5 affect compatibility?

A: No. Anti-sulfur protection is an additional material property that prevents sulfur-induced corrosion in harsh environments. It does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. The part remains fully compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with tighter tolerance than specified?

A: Yes. A substitute with tighter tolerance (lower percentage value) meets or exceeds the original specification and is functionally compatible. For example, ±0.1% tolerance is compatible with ±0.25% requirement.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in 0805 (2012 Metric) form factor, matching the original part's packaging specification.
