RT1206CRE07698RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07698RL is a 698 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 formats, and operating temperature ranges are maintained while allowing variations in tolerance specifications, power ratings, and temperature coefficients within acceptable engineering parameters for this resistor category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206CRE07698RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 698 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

Allowable variations in substitute parts include:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±0.25%
• Power rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.25W
• Temperature coefficient: May differ from ±50ppm/°C
• Certifications and features: May include additional automotive or industrial ratings

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced specifications in tolerance and power handling capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ERA-8AEB6980V and RNCF1206BKC698R are functionally equivalent to the RT1206CRE07698RL for applications requiring 698 Ohm thin film resistors in the 1206 package format.

ERA-8AEB6980V offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for precision applications requiring tighter tolerance control.

RNCF1206BKC698R provides increased power handling capability (0.333W versus 0.25W) while maintaining ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for applications where higher power dissipation margins are required.

All three parts maintain identical operating temperature ranges, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between the main part and substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for tolerance, power margin, and automotive certification status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB6980V replace RT1206CRE07698RL in any application?

A: Yes. ERA-8AEB6980V meets all mandatory substitution parameters: identical 698 Ohm resistance, 1206 package format, thin film composition, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. The tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) represent performance enhancements compatible with the original specification.

Q: What is the primary difference between ERA-8AEB6980V and RNCF1206BKC698R?

A: The primary difference is power rating. ERA-8AEB6980V is rated for 0.25W, matching the original part. RNCF1206BKC698R is rated for 0.333W, providing 33% additional power handling capacity. Both offer ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 1206 package specification. RT1206CRE07698RL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W with 0.026" maximum height. ERA-8AEB6980V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W with 0.028" maximum height. RNCF1206BKC698R measures 0.120" L × 0.061" W with 0.026" maximum height. All variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do all three parts have identical RoHS and compliance status?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). ERA-8AEB6980V and RNCF1206BKC698R include additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: Both ERA-8AEB6980V and RNCF1206BKC698R carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RT1206CRE07698RL does not specify automotive certification. For automotive applications, either substitute part is appropriate based on power and tolerance requirements.
