RT0805FRE072K8L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE072K8L is a 2.8 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 and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, and electrical ratings can be maintained within specified tolerances and operating conditions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0805FRE072K8L is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.8 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

Secondary Substitution Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±1% or better (tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Power rating: 0.125W or higher (higher rating acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C or better (lower coefficient acceptable)
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

The following parts meet substitution criteria:

1. RT0805BRD072K8L (YAGEO) – Upgrade option with improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C)
2. 5-2176092-5 (TE Connectivity) – Direct substitute with higher power rating (0.25W) and improved tolerance (±0.1%)
3. ERA-6AEB2801V (Panasonic) – Upgrade option with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, improved tolerance (±0.1%), and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805BRD072K8L (YAGEO): This part provides improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical power rating and package specifications. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance and improved temperature stability.

5-2176092-5 (TE Connectivity): This part offers higher power dissipation capability (0.25W vs 0.125W) with improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). The increased power rating provides additional thermal margin. Physical dimensions are compatible with 0805 footprints. Suitable for applications with higher power requirements or thermal stress conditions.

ERA-6AEB2801V (Panasonic): This part includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification in addition to improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). Suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD072K8L replace RT0805FRE072K8L in all applications?

A: Yes. RT0805BRD072K8L maintains identical resistance value, package, power rating, and operating temperature range. The improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) are compatible with all applications designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between 5-2176092-5 and the other substitutes?

A: 5-2176092-5 is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation compared to 0.125W (1/8W) for the other parts. This higher power rating is suitable for applications with greater thermal stress. All other electrical parameters remain compatible.

Q: Is ERA-6AEB2801V suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERA-6AEB2801V meets all electrical and package requirements for the RT0805FRE072K8L. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, matching the original RT0805FRE072K8L packaging format.

Q: What is the physical compatibility of these parts on 0805 footprints?

A: All parts are specified for 0805 (2012 Metric) package with dimensions 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Maximum seated heights range from 0.024" to 0.026", all compatible with standard 0805 PCB footprints.
