RT1206FRD07536RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRD07536RL is a 536 Ohm ±1% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C and operates across the -55°C to 155°C temperature range. The component is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and maintains Active product status. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within specified tolerance parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRD07536RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 536 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (physical compatibility)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thin film (electrical performance consistency)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C or better (stability requirement)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (environmental compatibility)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory requirement)

The ERA-8AEB5360V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The substitute part offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing enhanced performance characteristics while maintaining full compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRD07536RL and ERA-8AEB5360V maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The ERA-8AEB5360V provides tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the original YAGEO part is suitable for general industrial applications, while the Panasonic substitute is appropriate for automotive or precision measurement applications requiring enhanced tolerance performance and automotive-grade reliability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB5360V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRD07536RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (536 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions are compatible within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±1% and ±0.1%?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal resistance value. The ERA-8AEB5360V tolerance of ±0.1% provides tighter resistance accuracy compared to the ±1% tolerance of the RT1206FRD07536RL. Applications requiring precise resistance values benefit from the improved tolerance specification.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 qualification on the ERA-8AEB5360V affect general industrial use?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an automotive reliability qualification that exceeds general industrial requirements. The ERA-8AEB5360V is fully compatible with non-automotive applications and provides equivalent or superior performance characteristics.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Dimensions are functionally equivalent for PCB assembly. The RT1206FRD07536RL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. The ERA-8AEB5360V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These minor variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRD07536RL and ERA-8AEB5360V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly processes.
