RT1206DRD07976RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206DRD07976RL is a 976 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with ±0.5% tolerance and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained within the allowed parameter tolerances for this resistor category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERA-8AEB9760V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a substitute for the RT1206DRD07976RL based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Identical resistance value: 976 Ohms
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Compliance Equivalence:

• Both parts are ROHS3 compliant
• Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• Both parts are REACH unaffected

Tolerance Consideration: The ERA-8AEB9760V features ±0.1% tolerance, which is tighter than the RT1206DRD07976RL's ±0.5% tolerance. This represents an upgrade in precision while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206DRD07976RL and ERA-8AEB9760V are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and identical core electrical specifications. The ERA-8AEB9760V carries Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating additional validation for automotive applications. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: the YAGEO part is suitable for general industrial applications, while the Panasonic part is qualified for automotive environments where AEC-Q200 certification is required or preferred. Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility and thermal performance across the specified operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB9760V directly replace the RT1206DRD07976RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance values, power ratings, package dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The ERA-8AEB9760V's tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.5%) provides improved precision without affecting mechanical or thermal compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 qualification on the ERA-8AEB9760V?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification. This certification indicates the part has undergone additional reliability testing and validation for automotive applications. It does not affect compatibility with non-automotive applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206DRD07976RL measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height, while ERA-8AEB9760V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" max height. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For automotive applications or designs requiring tighter tolerance specifications, the ERA-8AEB9760V is appropriate. For general industrial applications where standard tolerance is acceptable, either part is suitable based on availability and cost considerations.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated assembly processes.
