RT1206CRE07806RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206CRE07806RL is an 806 Ohm ±0.25% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package formats, and power ratings are maintained while offering improved performance characteristics or enhanced reliability certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206CRE07806RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 806 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C minimum
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent

The ERA-8AEB8060V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. Additional performance improvements in tolerance and temperature coefficient are secondary benefits that do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB8060V is a qualified substitute for the RT1206CRE07806RL based on matching resistance, package format, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

The ERA-8AEB8060V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides enhanced reliability documentation and stricter manufacturing controls. This certification is applicable in automotive and high-reliability applications where documented quality assurance is required.

The ERA-8AEB8060V exhibits improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in superior frequency stability and reduced drift over temperature. These characteristics are beneficial in precision measurement and signal conditioning circuits.

Selection between these components should be based on application requirements for reliability certification and performance specifications rather than functional interchangeability, as both components satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB8060V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206CRE07806RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values (806 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The physical dimensions and electrical performance are compatible for direct substitution in PCB layouts and circuit designs.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the ERA-8AEB8060V?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard that documents component reliability under defined stress conditions. This certification is required for automotive applications and applications requiring documented quality assurance. The RT1206CRE07806RL does not carry this certification.

Q: How do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: The ERA-8AEB8060V tolerance of ±0.1% provides tighter resistance accuracy compared to the RT1206CRE07806RL tolerance of ±0.25%. In precision circuits where resistor accuracy directly impacts performance (such as precision amplifiers or measurement circuits), the improved tolerance of the ERA-8AEB8060V reduces overall circuit error.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these components?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RT1206CRE07806RL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). The ERA-8AEB8060V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). These differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What does the temperature coefficient specification indicate?

A: Temperature coefficient describes how resistance value changes with temperature. The ERA-8AEB8060V temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C indicates lower resistance drift across the operating temperature range compared to the RT1206CRE07806RL at ±50ppm/°C. This is advantageous in temperature-sensitive applications.
