RT1206CRE07118RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07118RL is a 118 Ohms ±0.25% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface mount device is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained while potentially offering improved specifications or alternative sourcing options.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERA-8AEB1180V qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 118 Ohms
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical RoHS3 compliance status
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical dimensions show minor variations within acceptable assembly tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206CRE07118RL and ERA-8AEB1180V are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory status (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99). The ERA-8AEB1180V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: the RT1206CRE07118RL for general industrial applications, and the ERA-8AEB1180V for automotive or high-reliability environments where tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient provide performance advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1180V replace RT1206CRE07118RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package type, and operating temperature range. The ERA-8AEB1180V offers superior tolerance and temperature stability, making it a direct functional substitute.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: The RT1206CRE07118RL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. The ERA-8AEB1180V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 package components.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The ERA-8AEB1180V includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which the RT1206CRE07118RL does not specify. This qualification is relevant only for automotive applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for precision applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB1180V provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it more suitable for precision measurement and signal conditioning circuits.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly processes.
