Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE0725R5L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 25.5 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS3 compliance (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (handling requirement)

The substitute part 6-1625868-6 (TE Connectivity Passive Product, RP73P series) meets all critical substitution criteria. While this substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and higher power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W), these represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent functional equivalence in applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT0805FRE0725R5L and 6-1625868-6 are actively manufactured components with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute part 6-1625868-6 is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct replacement in 0805 footprints. The enhanced specifications of the substitute (tighter tolerance and higher power rating) provide additional design margin without introducing incompatibility. Both components operate across the full -55°C ~ 155°C temperature range and maintain regulatory compliance across REACH and ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-1625868-6 be used as a direct replacement for RT0805FRE0725R5L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (25.5 Ohms), package format (0805), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The substitute meets all critical substitution criteria.

Q: What are the differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part 6-1625868-6 offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%), higher power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W), and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Maximum seated height differs by 0.002" (0.05mm).

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when switching between these parts?

A: No. Both components use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions (0.079" L x 1.25mm W). PCB footprints are interchangeable. The 0.002" height difference is negligible for standard assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both RT0805FRE0725R5L and 6-1625868-6 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For applications requiring standard tolerance and power rating, either part is suitable. For applications requiring tighter tolerance or higher power dissipation margin, 6-1625868-6 is the preferred choice.
