RT1206DRE07205RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206DRE07205RL is a 205 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 maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with 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.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206DRE07205RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 205 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (mechanical compatibility requirement)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (functional requirement)
• Composition: Thin film (electrical performance characteristic)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (environmental compatibility)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory requirement)

The ERA-8AEB2050V qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Both parts are thin film resistors in the 1206 package with identical resistance values and power ratings, operating across the same temperature range with equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206DRE07205RL and ERA-8AEB2050V maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-8AEB2050V provides enhanced performance characteristics through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision. The ERA-8AEB2050V carries Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which extends its applicability to automotive-grade circuit designs. Dimensional variations between the two parts are minimal and remain within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 package footprints. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance and temperature stability requirements rather than functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2050V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206DRE07205RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance values (205 Ohms), power ratings (0.25W), package format (1206), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The ERA-8AEB2050V offers superior tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between these parts?

A: The RT1206DRE07205RL measures 3.10mm x 1.60mm with 0.65mm maximum seated height. The ERA-8AEB2050V measures 3.20mm x 1.60mm with 0.70mm maximum seated height. These differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The ERA-8AEB2050V additionally carries Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which is not a limitation but an additional certification for automotive applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-precision applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB2050V is the appropriate choice for applications requiring tighter tolerance control, with ±0.1% tolerance compared to ±0.5% for the RT1206DRE07205RL. The lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) also provides superior stability across the operating temperature range.

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

A: Yes. Both the RT1206DRE07205RL and ERA-8AEB2050V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
