Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERA-8AEB97R6V qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 97.6 Ohms
• Identical package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical power rating: 0.25W
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical termination count: 2
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The ERA-8AEB97R6V provides enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, representing an upgrade path for applications requiring tighter tolerance specifications or automotive-grade reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical core electrical specifications. Selection between RT1206CRE0797R6L and ERA-8AEB97R6V depends on application-specific requirements:

The RT1206CRE0797R6L is suitable for general industrial applications where standard tolerance and performance specifications are sufficient.

The ERA-8AEB97R6V is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control (±0.1%), lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), or automotive-grade reliability through AEC-Q200 qualification. The enhanced specifications do not introduce any mechanical or thermal incompatibilities.

Both components share identical package dimensions, termination configuration, and operating temperature range, ensuring direct PCB-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB97R6V replace RT1206CRE0797R6L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value, package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB97R6V provides enhanced tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications without introducing mechanical or thermal incompatibilities.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The RT1206CRE0797R6L has ±0.25% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB97R6V has ±0.1% tolerance. The ERA-8AEB97R6V provides tighter tolerance control, beneficial for precision analog circuits or applications with strict component matching requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. The RT1206CRE0797R6L measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. The ERA-8AEB97R6V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" max height. These minor dimensional variations remain within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 footprints.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive electronics qualification standard. The ERA-8AEB97R6V meets this specification, indicating suitability for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability and quality assurance. This qualification is not required for general industrial use.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RT1206CRE0797R6L and ERA-8AEB97R6V are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.
