RT1206CRE073K01L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE073K01L is a 3.01 kOhms ±0.25% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W power dissipation. Manufactured by YAGEO under the RT series, this component is actively produced and widely used in precision analog circuits requiring stable resistance values across temperature ranges from -55°C to 155°C. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, power ratings, and environmental compliance specifications align with application requirements, enabling design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206CRE073K01L are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Resistance Value: Exact match at 3.01 kOhms
• Package Format: 1206 (3216 Metric) footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Minimum 0.25W (1/4W) capability
• Composition: Thin film construction for stability
• Operating Temperature Range: Support for -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating for unlimited shelf life

The ERA-8AEB3011V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations from the core substitution criteria. Both components share identical resistance values, package dimensions, power ratings, and environmental certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206CRE073K01L and ERA-8AEB3011V are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting standard environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The RT1206CRE073K01L remains the primary specification for general-purpose precision analog circuits where the ±0.25% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient satisfy design margins.

The ERA-8AEB3011V is selected when enhanced tolerance performance (±0.1%) or automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q200 certification) is required. The lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) provides improved stability across the full operating temperature range, benefiting applications with stringent drift specifications.

Selection between these components depends on application-specific tolerance budgets and environmental qualification requirements rather than functional incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB3011V replace RT1206CRE073K01L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values (3.01 kOhms), package format (1206), power ratings (0.25W), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). PCB footprints are compatible. The ERA-8AEB3011V offers tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient, which are performance improvements rather than incompatibilities.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: RT1206CRE073K01L dimensions are 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. ERA-8AEB3011V dimensions are 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. Both fit standard 1206 footprints; verify PCB layout clearances for the slightly larger Panasonic component.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 rating on ERA-8AEB3011V affect non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade qualification and does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. It represents additional testing and reliability assurance that benefits any application requiring high reliability.

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

A: Yes. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly processes. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) applies to both, eliminating bake-out requirements.

Q: Which component should be selected for temperature-sensitive applications?

A: ERA-8AEB3011V is preferred for applications with tight temperature stability requirements due to its ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient compared to RT1206CRE073K01L's ±50ppm/°C specification.
