Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE07261RL is determined by the following core parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 261 Ohms
• Package Form Factor: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Termination Count: 2 terminations (standard for chip resistors)

Tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering limits. Substitute parts with tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) or higher power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W) are electrically compatible and represent functional upgrades. All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805FRE07261RL (YAGEO): Primary specification for general-purpose applications. Standard tolerance and temperature coefficient. Active production status with established supply chain.

6-2176091-3 (TE Connectivity): Direct substitute with enhanced specifications. Tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and higher power rating (0.25W) provide margin for applications requiring improved accuracy or thermal headroom. Lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) reduces drift over operating range. Height increase of 0.002" (0.05mm) is negligible for most PCB layouts. Active production status.

ERA-6AEB2610V (Panasonic): Upgrade substitute with automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200). Maintains original power rating (0.125W) and physical dimensions while providing tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Active production status.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-2176091-3 replace RT0805FRE07261RL in all applications?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part is electrically compatible. The 0.002" (0.05mm) height difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances. The higher power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W) and tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) represent functional improvements with no negative impact on circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between ERA-6AEB2610V and the other substitutes?

A: ERA-6AEB2610V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. It maintains the original 0.125W power rating and 0.024" (0.60mm) height, making it a direct physical replacement. The tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient are engineering upgrades applicable to any application, not exclusively automotive.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical resistance value (261 Ohms), package form factor (0805), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions are within assembly tolerance. Footprint design for 0805 package accommodates all three parts.

Q: Which substitute should I select for high-precision circuits?

A: Both 6-2176091-3 and ERA-6AEB2610V offer ±0.1% tolerance compared to the original ±1%. Selection depends on application requirements: choose 6-2176091-3 for general high-precision applications or ERA-6AEB2610V if automotive-grade reliability is required.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect circuit performance?

A: The original RT0805FRE07261RL has ±50ppm/°C; both substitutes have ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient reduces resistance drift over the -55°C to 155°C operating range. For circuits sensitive to resistance variation with temperature, the substitutes provide improved stability.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All three parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard dry storage and handling practices apply uniformly.
