RT0805FRE07165RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE07165RL is a 165 Ohms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation. This YAGEO component operates across -55°C to 155°C and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and optimize component selection based on specific application requirements such as tolerance, power rating, and regulatory compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE07165RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 165 Ohms
• Package Type: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction ensures consistent performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Tolerance: Substitute parts with equal or tighter tolerance (±1% or better) are acceptable
• Power Rating: Substitute parts with equal or higher power rating are acceptable
• Temperature Coefficient: Lower values indicate better stability; tighter specifications are acceptable

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the TE Connectivity 4-2176091-5 (direct substitute with enhanced specifications) and the Panasonic ERA-6AEB1650V (upgrade option with automotive qualification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 4-2176091-5: This part offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and higher power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W) with improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). However, it is RoHS non-compliant and has undefined REACH status. Selection of this part is appropriate only when RoHS compliance is not a design requirement and when the enhanced specifications provide measurable benefit to circuit performance.

Panasonic ERA-6AEB1650V: This part provides equivalent power rating and package dimensions to the main part while delivering tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). It maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Additionally, it carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability or when tighter tolerance specifications are necessary while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 4-2176091-5 be used as a direct replacement for the RT0805FRE07165RL?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, package type, and operating temperature range. The TE part offers superior specifications (tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient). However, the TE part is RoHS non-compliant, which may disqualify it from applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: What is the height difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The RT0805FRE07165RL and ERA-6AEB1650V have identical maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). The TE Connectivity 4-2176091-5 has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm), a 0.002" (0.05mm) difference. This minimal difference is typically acceptable in standard PCB designs but should be verified for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable in terms of footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length and width dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). PCB footprints designed for the RT0805FRE07165RL will accommodate all substitute parts.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The Panasonic ERA-6AEB1650V is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and maintains ROHS3 compliance. This part is the appropriate choice for automotive or automotive-grade applications.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±1% and ±0.1%?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal resistance value. The ±0.1% tolerance of substitute parts (4-2176091-5 and ERA-6AEB1650V) provides tighter control over resistance accuracy compared to the ±1% tolerance of the main part. Selection depends on circuit requirements for precision and stability.
