Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206BRE07232RL are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

  • Identical resistance value: 232 Ohms
  • Matching tolerance specification: ±0.1%
  • Equivalent power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
  • Same package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
  • Identical composition: Thin Film
  • Compatible operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
  • Equivalent or superior compliance status: ROHS3 Compliant

The ERA-8AEB2320V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute. This part maintains all critical electrical parameters while offering enhanced automotive qualification through AEC-Q200 certification and improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

The RT1206BRE07232RL is suitable for general-purpose applications where standard industrial compliance is sufficient.

The ERA-8AEB2320V is the appropriate choice for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. This part also provides superior temperature stability with a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C compared to ±50ppm/°C, making it preferable for precision applications with stringent thermal performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2320V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206BRE07232RL in any application?

A: Yes, the ERA-8AEB2320V meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package format, and operating temperature range ensure functional compatibility. The improved temperature coefficient is an additional benefit with no negative impact on performance.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 certification on the ERA-8AEB2320V?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. This certification indicates the part has been tested and qualified for automotive applications. If your design is for automotive use, the ERA-8AEB2320V is the specified choice.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RT1206BRE07232RL measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). The ERA-8AEB2320V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). Both parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification and are compatible with standard PCB layouts designed for this package format.

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

A: Yes, both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application classification. For automotive designs, specify ERA-8AEB2320V. For general industrial applications, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.
