RT1206CRE07270KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07270KL is a 270 kOhms ±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 ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for general industrial and commercial applications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package configurations, and electrical ratings can be maintained while potentially offering improved tolerance specifications or enhanced environmental certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206CRE07270KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 270 kOhms
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL Level 1

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±0.25%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations within package specification
• Additional certifications: AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an upgrade feature

The two identified substitutes meet all mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance specifications (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and automotive-grade certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206CRE07270KL (YAGEO): Primary selection for general industrial and commercial applications where standard tolerance and environmental specifications are sufficient. Active product status with established supply chain.

ERA-8AEB274V (Panasonic): Suitable for applications requiring improved tolerance performance (±0.1%) and automotive-grade reliability. Panasonic Electronic Components designation indicates automotive qualification under AEC-Q200 standard. Recommended for automotive and mission-critical applications where enhanced temperature stability (±25ppm/°C) is beneficial.

RG3216P-2703-B-T5 (Susumu): Optimal selection for harsh environmental conditions requiring anti-sulfur protection combined with automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Susumu RG series thin film resistors provide enhanced reliability in corrosive atmospheres. Lowest seated height (0.020" maximum) may be advantageous for space-constrained PCB layouts.

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB274V or RG3216P-2703-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for RT1206CRE07270KL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (270 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package configuration (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) represent performance improvements rather than incompatibilities.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on the substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. Parts bearing this certification have undergone additional reliability testing and environmental stress screening. This certification is not required for general industrial use but is mandatory for automotive applications.

Q: Why does RG3216P-2703-B-T5 specify "Anti-Sulfur" as a feature?

A: Anti-sulfur protection prevents degradation of resistor performance in environments with hydrogen sulfide exposure or high-sulfur industrial atmospheres. This feature is relevant only for applications in such environments; it provides no functional difference in standard operating conditions.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor variations exist within the 1206 package specification. RT1206CRE07270KL has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm), while both substitutes specify 0.028" (0.70mm) for ERA-8AEB274V and 0.020" (0.50mm) for RG3216P-2703-B-T5. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best overall performance?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. ERA-8AEB274V provides automotive-grade reliability with standard anti-sulfur protection. RG3216P-2703-B-T5 adds explicit anti-sulfur treatment and offers the lowest profile, making it optimal for space-constrained designs in corrosive environments.
