RT1206BRE0715RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206BRE0715RL is a 15 Ohm ±0.1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation. This component is actively manufactured by YAGEO and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the specified operating range of -55°C to 155°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206BRE0715RL is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (exact match or superior required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• MSL rating: 1 or better (exact match or superior required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C or better (lower values acceptable)
• Physical dimensions: 1206 package footprint compatibility

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with documented equivalence.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD0715RL (YAGEO Upgrade Option)

This part maintains identical electrical specifications to the main part with an improved temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C. Both parts are manufactured by YAGEO, carry identical ROHS3 and MSL ratings, and share the same 1206 package footprint. Selection of this upgrade option provides enhanced temperature stability without design modification.

RNCF1206BKC15R0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc Direct Substitute)

This part meets all primary compatibility parameters with a higher power rating of 0.333W (1/3W) compared to the 0.25W rating of the main part. The RNCF series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability documentation. Physical dimensions are within 1206 package specification tolerance. This option is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification or where increased power dissipation margin is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0715RL be used as a direct replacement for RT1206BRE0715RL?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by YAGEO with identical resistance (15 Ohms), tolerance (±0.1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The RT1206BRD0715RL offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C).

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Stackpole options?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, power rating, and automotive qualification. RNCF1206BKC15R0 is rated for 0.333W (1/3W) versus 0.25W for YAGEO parts, and includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification. All three parts share identical resistance, tolerance, package format, and operating temperature range.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: All three parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. YAGEO parts specify 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). Stackpole RNCF1206BKC15R0 specifies 0.120" L x 0.061" W (3.05mm x 1.55mm). Both fall within standard 1206 package tolerance and are footprint-compatible.

Q: Can RNCF1206BKC15R0 be used in applications where RT1206BRE0715RL is specified?

A: Yes. The higher power rating (0.333W vs 0.25W) and identical electrical parameters make RNCF1206BKC15R0 functionally equivalent. The AEC-Q200 qualification provides additional reliability documentation suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute options?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
