RT1206CRE07124RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07124RL is a 124 Ohms ±0.25% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface mount device is rated for 0.25W power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain the same resistance value, package form factor, power rating, and operating temperature range while offering improved or equivalent electrical characteristics. The substitutes listed below provide either tighter tolerance specifications or automotive-grade qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206CRE07124RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 124 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Composition: Thin film construction
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes meet all mandatory parameters. Improvements in tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) represent enhanced performance characteristics. The Panasonic ERA-8AEB1240V additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RT1206CRE07124RL within the specified operating parameters.

RT1206BRD07124RL is a direct YAGEO equivalent offering improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package dimensions and power rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy.

ERA-8AEB1240V is a Panasonic equivalent with identical electrical specifications to the RT1206BRD07124RL and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is specified for automotive applications requiring automotive-grade component certification. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W and 0.028" height versus 0.026" height), remaining within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 package footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07124RL be used as a direct replacement for RT1206CRE07124RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (124 Ohms), package form factor (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The RT1206BRD07124RL offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB1240V compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. The ERA-8AEB1240V uses the standard 1206 (3216 Metric) package footprint. Minor dimensional variations (length 0.126" versus 0.122" and height 0.028" versus 0.026") fall within standard PCB design tolerances for this package class and do not require footprint modification.

Q: When should ERA-8AEB1240V be selected over RT1206BRD07124RL?

A: Select ERA-8AEB1240V when AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is required by design specifications or application standards. Both parts offer identical electrical performance; the distinction is automotive certification status.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206CRE07124RL, RT1206BRD07124RL, and ERA-8AEB1240V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the ±0.1% tolerance substitutes?

A: The RT1206BRD07124RL and ERA-8AEB1240V provide tighter tolerance control (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in improved resistance stability across temperature variations and tighter initial accuracy specifications.
