RT0805CRE07604RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805CRE07604RL is a 604 Ohms ±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 component is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). As an active product with established supply availability, equivalent and substitute parts may be required for design flexibility, supply chain optimization, or specific application requirements such as enhanced tolerance specifications or automotive-grade certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805CRE07604RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 604 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Termination Count: Must be 2 terminations for PCB footprint compatibility

Tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and compliance certifications may vary within acceptable engineering limits. Substitute parts with equal or superior tolerance specifications (lower tolerance values) and equal or higher power ratings are electrically compatible. Enhanced certifications such as automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification represent upgrades rather than functional limitations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

9-2176091-7 (TE Connectivity): This direct substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and higher power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W). However, this part is RoHS non-compliant, which may restrict use in applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. Height clearance is marginally increased (0.026" versus 0.024"), requiring verification against PCB design constraints. Selection is appropriate for non-RoHS-regulated applications where enhanced tolerance and power headroom are beneficial.

ERA-6AEB6040V (Panasonic): This upgrade substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and matches the original power rating (0.125W). It provides superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). The addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification represents enhanced reliability certification. Physical dimensions and height are identical to the main part. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance, improved stability, or automotive-grade component qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 9-2176091-7 be used as a direct replacement in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid for circuits where the 0.25W power rating and improved tolerance are acceptable. However, RoHS non-compliance restricts use in regulated applications. Height difference (0.026" versus 0.024") must be verified against PCB clearance requirements.

Q: What is the primary advantage of ERA-6AEB6040V over the original RT0805CRE07604RL?

A: ERA-6AEB6040V maintains ROHS3 compliance while providing superior tolerance (±0.1%), lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical compatibility is identical.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically interchangeable in the 0805 footprint?

A: Yes, all three parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length and width (0.079" x 0.049"). Height variation exists: RT0805CRE07604RL and ERA-6AEB6040V are 0.024" maximum, while 9-2176091-7 is 0.026" maximum. PCB design clearance must accommodate the maximum height of the selected component.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For RoHS-regulated applications with improved performance specifications, ERA-6AEB6040V is appropriate. For non-RoHS applications requiring maximum power headroom, 9-2176091-7 is suitable. Verify compliance requirements and PCB clearance constraints before final selection.

Q: Do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance differences (±0.25% versus ±0.1%) affect resistor value accuracy. Applications with tight tolerance requirements benefit from ±0.1% parts. Temperature coefficient differences (±50ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C) affect stability across the operating temperature range; lower coefficients provide improved performance in temperature-sensitive circuits.
