RT0805FRE07261KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE07261KL is a 261 kOhms ±1% 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 currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow for improved tolerance, power rating, or automotive qualification while maintaining the same resistance value, package footprint, and core electrical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance Value: Must be 261 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction required
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliant status required
• Tolerance: May be equal to or better than ±1%
• Power Rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.125W
• Temperature Coefficient: May be equal to or better than ±50ppm/°C

Three substitute parts meet these criteria with varying enhancements in tolerance, power rating, or automotive qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805BRD07261KL (YAGEO): Direct upgrade from the main part with improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Maintains identical power rating and package. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without automotive qualification requirements.

3-2176094-3 (TE Connectivity): Offers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and doubled power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W) with lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). Slightly increased height (0.026" vs 0.024"). Appropriate for designs with higher power dissipation margins or thermal stress conditions.

ERA-6AEB2613V (Panasonic): Provides improved tolerance (±0.1%), lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Maintains original power rating and dimensions. Required for automotive applications or designs subject to automotive-grade reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD07261KL replace RT0805FRE07261KL in any application?

A: Yes. RT0805BRD07261KL is a direct upgrade with superior tolerance and temperature coefficient. All electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between 3-2176094-3 and the main part?

A: The 3-2176094-3 provides doubled power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W) and improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%). Height increases from 0.024" to 0.026", which may affect PCB clearance in space-constrained designs.

Q: When should ERA-6AEB2613V be selected?

A: ERA-6AEB2613V is specified for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. It also provides improved tolerance and temperature coefficient compared to the main part.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and are compatible with standard SMD assembly equipment.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049"). Height variations are minimal (0.024" to 0.026") and do not affect standard PCB layout.

Q: What is the significance of the ±50ppm/°C vs ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Lower temperature coefficient indicates better resistance stability across temperature variations. The ±25ppm/°C specification in substitute parts provides superior performance in temperature-sensitive applications.
