RT0805FRE072K61L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE072K61L is a 2.61 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This component 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. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, and thermal specifications align with application requirements while offering improved tolerance, power rating, or automotive qualification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE072K61L is determined by the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 2.61 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)

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 than ±50ppm/°C
• RoHS compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 or equivalent
• Moisture sensitivity: Must be MSL 1 or better

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped by their enhanced specifications relative to the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5-2176092-3 (TE Connectivity Passive Product): This direct substitute offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and increased power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W) while maintaining identical package dimensions and operating temperature range. Height is 0.026" (0.65mm), which is 0.002" higher than the main part. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring improved tolerance performance without automotive qualification requirements.

ERA-6AEB2611V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This upgrade substitute combines tighter tolerance (±0.1%), lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical dimensions and height match the main part exactly at 0.024" (0.60mm). Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or designs requiring enhanced temperature stability.

RG2012P-2611-B-T5 (Susumu): This upgrade substitute provides tighter tolerance (±0.1%), lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and anti-sulfur features. Height is 0.020" (0.50mm), the lowest of all options. Selection is appropriate for automotive applications in corrosive environments or designs with strict height constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with ±0.1% tolerance in place of the ±1% main part? A: Yes. Tighter tolerance is a compatible enhancement. The ±0.1% substitute parts will perform within the ±1% specification window while providing superior accuracy.

Q: Does the increased power rating of the 5-2176092-3 (0.25W vs 0.125W) affect circuit compatibility? A: No. Higher power rating indicates greater thermal capacity and does not affect electrical performance in circuits designed for 0.125W dissipation. The component will operate safely with lower thermal stress.

Q: Are the automotive-qualified parts (ERA-6AEB2611V and RG2012P-2611-B-T5) suitable for non-automotive applications? A: Yes. Automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) represents additional testing and reliability standards. These parts are fully compatible with non-automotive designs and offer enhanced reliability margins.

Q: What is the significance of the anti-sulfur feature in the RG2012P-2611-B-T5? A: Anti-sulfur composition provides protection against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. This feature is beneficial in industrial or corrosive environments but is not required for standard applications.

Q: Will the height difference between substitute parts affect PCB assembly? A: Height variations are within standard SMD component tolerances. The main part and ERA-6AEB2611V are identical at 0.024" (0.60mm). The 5-2176092-3 at 0.026" (0.65mm) and RG2012P-2611-B-T5 at 0.020" (0.50mm) are compatible with standard reflow processes. Verify against specific PCB design constraints if height-critical applications are involved.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same production batch? A: All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the main part specification. Mixing is permissible from a functional standpoint, though procurement and quality control practices may prefer consistency within a single design revision.
