RT0805FRE07442KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT0805FRE07442KL is a 442 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format, rated at 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation. Manufactured by YAGEO under the RT series, this component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching resistance value, package format, and electrical performance characteristics while accommodating variations in tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RT0805FRE07442KL is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 442 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be improved from ±1% to ±0.1% (tighter tolerance is acceptable)
• Power rating: May be increased from 0.125W to 0.25W (higher power rating is acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: May be improved from ±50ppm/°C to ±25ppm/°C (lower coefficient is acceptable)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all primary parameters match
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® acceptable

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0805BRD07442KL (YAGEO Upgrade) 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 format. Both parts are YAGEO RT series components with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without power rating constraints.

5-2176094-5 (TE Connectivity Direct Substitute) This part matches the 442 kOhms resistance and 0805 package with improved tolerance (±0.1%) and higher power rating (0.25W vs 0.125W). Manufactured by TE Connectivity under the RP73P series, it maintains ROHS3 compliance and identical operating temperature range. The increased power rating accommodates higher dissipation environments. Physical height is marginally increased (0.026" vs 0.024" maximum seated height).

ERA-6AEB4423V (Panasonic Automotive Grade Upgrade) This part delivers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Panasonic ERA-6A series composition and package match the main part exactly. Selection is required for automotive applications or systems requiring AEC-Q200 certification. Packaging is supplied as Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® rather than standard Tape & Reel.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0805BRD07442KL replace RT0805FRE07442KL in any application? A: Yes. RT0805BRD07442KL is a direct upgrade with identical package, power rating, and operating temperature range. The improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) make it suitable for all applications where the main part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.125W and 0.25W power ratings? A: Power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation. The 5-2176094-5 (0.25W) can dissipate twice the power of the main part (0.125W) while maintaining the same physical package. Higher power rating does not affect electrical performance in standard applications but provides margin for higher current environments.

Q: Is ERA-6AEB4423V suitable for non-automotive applications? A: Yes. ERA-6AEB4423V meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for the main part and exceeds performance specifications. AEC-Q200 certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes? A: RT0805FRE07442KL and RT0805BRD07442KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. 5-2176094-5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). ERA-6AEB4423V is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. All are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: What is the maximum seated height difference? A: RT0805FRE07442KL, RT0805BRD07442KL, and ERA-6AEB4423V have maximum seated heights of 0.024" (0.60mm). The 5-2176094-5 has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). This 0.002" (0.05mm) difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly and does not affect component placement or clearance in typical designs.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB? A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions, two terminations, and footprint requirements. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the PCB level.
