Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206DRE073K65L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Resistance value: 3.65 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: minimum 0.25W
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Tolerance: ±0.5% or better (tighter tolerance acceptable)

Compliance & Certification:

• RoHS3 compliance maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Active product status

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: RT1206BRD073K65L (YAGEO, same manufacturer upgrade) and ERA-8AEB3651V (Panasonic, automotive-grade alternative).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD073K65L (YAGEO): This substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. Both components are YAGEO products with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control without automotive qualification requirements.

ERA-8AEB3651V (Panasonic): This substitute provides equivalent electrical performance to RT1206BRD073K65L with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W; height 0.028" versus 0.026"), and height-seated maximum is 0.70mm versus 0.65mm. Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component certification while maintaining all other electrical and compliance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD073K65L be used as a direct replacement for RT1206DRE073K65L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (3.65 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). RT1206BRD073K65L provides superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and lower temperature coefficient, making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for the same application.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB3651V compatible with the original RT1206DRE073K65L?

A: ERA-8AEB3651V is electrically and functionally compatible. Resistance, power rating, composition, and operating temperature range are identical. Physical dimensions vary slightly: ERA-8AEB3651V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W with 0.028" maximum seated height, compared to 0.122" L x 0.063" W with 0.026" maximum seated height for the original. Verify PCB layout clearances before substitution. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature not present in the original part.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both RT1206BRD073K65L and ERA-8AEB3651V offer ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary distinction is automotive qualification: ERA-8AEB3651V carries AEC-Q200 certification, while RT1206BRD073K65L does not. Physical dimensions also differ slightly. Select based on automotive requirement and available PCB space.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206DRE073K65L, RT1206BRD073K65L, and ERA-8AEB3651V are all ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-precision applications?

A: RT1206BRD073K65L and ERA-8AEB3651V both offer ±0.1% tolerance, suitable for precision applications. The original RT1206DRE073K65L with ±0.5% tolerance is less suitable for high-precision requirements. Verify application tolerance requirements before selection.
