RT1206BRE07210RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206BRE07210RL is a 210 Ohms ±0.1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This precision resistor is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The component is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. As an active product with 918 pieces in stock, equivalent alternatives may be required for supply chain optimization, design flexibility, or application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206BRE07210RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 210 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (precision specification)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum coverage
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements

The ERA-8AEB2100V from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria. This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. Both components are thin film resistors with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The Panasonic substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing enhanced reliability for automotive applications, though this is an upgrade feature rather than a requirement for general substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206BRE07210RL and ERA-8AEB2100V are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The YAGEO RT1206BRE07210RL is suitable for general-purpose precision applications requiring ±0.1% tolerance and standard industrial temperature range operation. The Panasonic ERA-8AEB2100V provides an equivalent substitute with the additional benefit of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: the YAGEO part for standard industrial use, and the Panasonic part for automotive or high-reliability applications where enhanced temperature stability is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2100V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206BRE07210RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (210 Ohms), tolerance (±0.1%), power rating (0.25W), and package (1206). Physical dimensions differ slightly (3.10mm vs 3.20mm length; 0.65mm vs 0.70mm height), but these variations remain within standard PCB design tolerances for 1206 components.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The RT1206BRE07210RL has a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, while the ERA-8AEB2100V has ±25ppm/°C. This means the Panasonic part exhibits half the resistance change over temperature variations. For precision applications with wide temperature swings, the lower coefficient provides better stability.

Q: Is AEC-Q200 qualification required for substitution?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an upgrade feature of the Panasonic part. The YAGEO RT1206BRE07210RL meets all core substitution criteria without automotive qualification. AEC-Q200 is relevant only if your application specifically requires automotive-grade components.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations due to dimensional differences?

A: The dimensional variance (0.1mm length difference, 0.05mm height difference) is negligible for standard 1206 footprints. Both parts are compatible with identical PCB layouts and reflow profiles.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206BRE07210RL and ERA-8AEB2100V carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
