RT0805FRE072K87L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE072K87L is a 2.87 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format, rated at 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation. Manufactured by YAGEO and currently in active production status, this component is widely used in general-purpose electronic applications requiring standard tolerance resistive elements. Substitute parts become necessary when addressing specific application requirements such as improved tolerance specifications, enhanced automotive qualification, anti-sulfur protection, or increased power handling capabilities while maintaining the same resistance value and package footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE072K87L is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 2.87 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 0805 (2012 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on tolerance and power rating specifications:

Tolerance Upgrades (±0.1%): RT0805BRD072K87L, ERA-6AEB2871V, RG2012P-2871-B-T5 — improved precision with tighter tolerance specifications and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C).

Tolerance Intermediate (±0.5%): RT0805DRD072K87L, RG2012P-2871-D-T5 — moderate tolerance improvement with maintained 0.125W power rating.

Power Rating Upgrade (0.25W): 5-2176092-6 — increased power dissipation capability (0.25W vs. 0.125W) with ±0.1% tolerance, manufactured by TE Connectivity.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives: RG2012P-2871-B-T5, RG2012P-2871-D-T5, ERA-6AEB2871V — AEC-Q200 certified components suitable for automotive applications, with RG series offering additional anti-sulfur protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For General-Purpose Applications: The RT0805FRE072K87L remains suitable for applications where ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient are acceptable. Substitute with RT0805BRD072K87L or RT0805DRD072K87L when improved tolerance specifications are required without introducing additional certifications.

For Precision Circuit Applications: Select RT0805BRD072K87L, ERA-6AEB2871V, or RG2012P-2871-B-T5 for designs requiring ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. These parts provide superior stability across the operating temperature range.

For Automotive Applications: ERA-6AEB2871V (Panasonic AEC-Q200) or RG2012P-2871-B-T5 / RG2012P-2871-D-T5 (Susumu AEC-Q200 with anti-sulfur protection) are required when AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is mandated. The Susumu RG series provides additional environmental protection through anti-sulfur coating.

For Increased Power Dissipation: Select 5-2176092-6 (TE Connectivity, 0.25W rating) when circuit design requires higher power handling while maintaining 2.87 kOhms resistance and ±0.1% tolerance. Note the increased height (0.65mm vs. 0.60mm) for PCB layout verification.

For High-Volume Availability: ERA-6AEB2871V offers the largest inventory (22,804 pcs), providing supply chain advantages for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805FRE072K87L be directly replaced with any substitute part listed?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application tolerates the specific parameter differences. All listed substitutes maintain the 2.87 kOhms resistance value and 0805 package format. However, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating, and automotive certification differences must be evaluated against circuit requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between YAGEO RT series and Susumu RG series substitutes?

A: YAGEO RT series parts are general-purpose thin film resistors. Susumu RG series parts (RG2012P-2871-B-T5 and RG2012P-2871-D-T5) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur protection, making them suitable for harsh automotive environments. Temperature coefficient is improved to ±25ppm/°C in both cases.

Q: Is the TE Connectivity 5-2176092-6 compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: The 5-2176092-6 maintains the 0805 (2012 Metric) package footprint and is mechanically compatible. However, the seated height is 0.65mm (maximum) compared to 0.60mm for the original part. Verify PCB clearance and component stacking height in your specific design.

Q: When should I select ERA-6AEB2871V over other ±0.1% tolerance options?

A: ERA-6AEB2871V is the preferred choice when AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is required without anti-sulfur protection requirements, or when maximum inventory availability is a supply chain priority. It provides equivalent electrical performance to RG2012P-2871-B-T5 with broader stock availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, consistent with the original RT0805FRE072K87L specification.

Q: What does the anti-sulfur feature in Susumu RG series provide?

A: Anti-sulfur protection in RG2012P-2871-B-T5 and RG2012P-2871-D-T5 prevents sulfur-induced corrosion of component terminations in environments with hydrogen sulfide exposure, common in automotive and industrial applications. This feature is not present in YAGEO, Panasonic, or TE Connectivity alternatives.
