RT1206CRE07237RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07237RL is a 237 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W power dissipation with ±0.25% tolerance and operates across the -55°C to 155°C temperature range. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, power ratings, and operating temperature ranges align within acceptable electrical and mechanical parameters for direct circuit board replacement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206CRE07237RL is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value must equal 237 Ohms
• Package format must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating must be 0.25W or greater
• Composition must be thin film
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The ERA-8AEB2370V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While the ERA-8AEB2370V exhibits superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations from the substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB2370V serves as a qualified substitute for the RT1206CRE07237RL in applications requiring direct component replacement. Both parts maintain Active product status and satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements. The ERA-8AEB2370V incorporates AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications subject to automotive environmental and performance standards. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding tolerance precision, temperature coefficient stability, and automotive qualification necessity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB2370V replace the RT1206CRE07237RL in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values, power ratings, package dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The ERA-8AEB2370V meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for direct board-level replacement.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The RT1206CRE07237RL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). The ERA-8AEB2370V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). Both dimensions remain within 1206 package specifications and are compatible with standard PCB footprints.

Q: Does the improved tolerance of the ERA-8AEB2370V affect circuit compatibility?

A: The ERA-8AEB2370V tolerance of ±0.1% is tighter than the RT1206CRE07237RL tolerance of ±0.25%. This represents improved accuracy and does not create compatibility issues. Circuits designed for ±0.25% tolerance operate within specification when populated with ±0.1% components.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the ERA-8AEB2370V?

A: AEC-Q200 qualification indicates the component meets automotive industry reliability and environmental stress testing standards. This certification is relevant only for applications requiring automotive-grade component assurance. Non-automotive applications are unaffected by this designation.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206CRE07237RL and ERA-8AEB2370V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly processes.
