Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT0805FRE072K26L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.26 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Power rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.125W
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower (better stability)
• Height seated: Minor variations acceptable within package specification

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

Direct Substitute (4-2176092-7): TE Connectivity part with improved tolerance (±0.1%) and higher power rating (0.25W), maintaining identical package and resistance specifications.

Upgrade Substitute (ERA-6AEB2261V): Panasonic part with improved tolerance (±0.1%), automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, and enhanced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), maintaining identical package and resistance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805FRE072K26L (Original): Select for standard applications where ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient are acceptable. ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

4-2176092-7 (Direct Substitute): Select when improved tolerance (±0.1%) is required without changing power dissipation requirements. Higher power rating (0.25W) provides additional thermal margin. Height variation (0.026" vs 0.024") must be verified against PCB layout constraints. ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

ERA-6AEB2261V (Upgrade Substitute): Select for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q200 qualified) and superior temperature stability (±25ppm/°C). Improved tolerance (±0.1%) enhances circuit precision. Identical power rating and height to original part. ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4-2176092-7 be used as a direct replacement for RT0805FRE072K26L?

A: Yes, with height verification. Both parts share identical resistance (2.26 kOhms), package (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The TE Connectivity part has 0.002" greater height (0.026" vs 0.024"), which must be confirmed compatible with PCB layout and assembly clearances.

Q: What is the primary advantage of ERA-6AEB2261V over the original part?

A: ERA-6AEB2261V provides AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), resulting in better circuit stability across temperature extremes. Tolerance is also improved to ±0.1%.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. All three parts are 2-termination thin film resistors in 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W).

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-precision applications?

A: Both 4-2176092-7 and ERA-6AEB2261V offer ±0.1% tolerance, superior to the original ±1%. ERA-6AEB2261V additionally provides ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient for enhanced stability.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity a differentiating factor?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity concerns for standard storage and handling.

Q: Can ERA-6AEB2261V be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification exceeds standard requirements and is fully compatible with general-purpose applications. The automotive-grade part provides enhanced reliability margins.
