Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RT1206CRE0712RL and RT1206BRD0712RL are Active status components manufactured by YAGEO and maintain full ROHS3 compliance. The RT1206BRD0712RL provides improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and superior temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical electrical power ratings, resistance values, and physical package dimensions. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific tolerance and temperature stability requirements. Both components satisfy identical mechanical and thermal operating parameters across the -55°C to 155°C range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0712RL replace RT1206CRE0712RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values (12 Ohms), power ratings (0.25W), package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 155°C). The RT1206BRD0712RL offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: RT1206CRE0712RL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RT1206BRD0712RL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both packaging formats are suitable for automated assembly processes; selection depends on production line equipment compatibility.

Q: Are there tolerance differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. RT1206CRE0712RL specifies ±0.25% tolerance, while RT1206BRD0712RL specifies ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides improved accuracy for precision circuit applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RT1206CRE0712RL and RT1206BRD0712RL are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding (8533.21.0030).

Q: What is the temperature coefficient difference?

A: RT1206CRE0712RL has a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, while RT1206BRD0712RL has ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient values indicate improved resistance stability across temperature variations.
