Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE07162RL is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 162 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (exact match or better required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Secondary Parameters Allowing Variation:

• Tolerance: ±1% or better (tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Power Rating: 0.125W or higher (higher power rating acceptable)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C or better (lower coefficient acceptable)

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped as follows:

Upgrade Category (Improved Tolerance): RT0805BRD07162RL and ERA-6AEB1620V both provide ±0.1% tolerance with ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, representing improved performance over the base specification.

Higher Power Rating Category: 4-2176091-4 provides 0.25W (1/4W) power rating with ±0.1% tolerance, suitable for applications requiring additional thermal margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active production status. Selection between alternatives depends on application-specific requirements:

RT0805BRD07162RL is suitable for applications requiring improved tolerance performance (±0.1% versus ±1%) while maintaining identical power rating and thermal characteristics. This part is manufactured by YAGEO, the original manufacturer of the base part.

4-2176091-4 is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation capability (0.25W versus 0.125W) with improved tolerance and temperature coefficient. The maximum seated height is 0.026" (0.65mm) compared to 0.024" (0.60mm) for other options; this must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

ERA-6AEB1620V is suitable for applications requiring improved tolerance performance (±0.1% versus ±1%) with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components and includes automotive-grade reliability features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD07162RL be used as a direct replacement for RT0805FRE07162RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, package, composition, operating temperature range, and RoHS compliance. RT0805BRD07162RL provides improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) with no mechanical or thermal disadvantages.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.125W and 0.25W power ratings?

A: Power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation capability. The 4-2176091-4 rated at 0.25W (1/4W) can safely dissipate twice the power of the 0.125W (1/8W) rated parts. Selection depends on the actual power dissipation in the circuit. Higher power rating provides thermal margin but does not affect electrical performance at equivalent current levels.

Q: Is the 0.026" (0.65mm) height of 4-2176091-4 compatible with standard 0805 PCB layouts?

A: The 0.002" (0.05mm) height difference must be evaluated against specific PCB design constraints. Standard 0805 component placement typically accommodates this variation, but clearance verification is necessary for applications with height-critical assembly requirements.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean for ERA-6AEB1620V?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. ERA-6AEB1620V meets this specification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability and quality assurance. Non-automotive applications can use this part without restriction.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, maintaining compatibility with standard automated assembly processes.

Q: Can tolerance be mixed within a single circuit design?

A: Circuit design determines tolerance requirements. If the application specifies ±1% tolerance, all parts must meet this specification. Parts with ±0.1% tolerance exceed this requirement and are acceptable. Mixing different tolerance parts in the same circuit is permissible only if the circuit design accommodates the resulting tolerance stack-up.
