Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07118KL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 118 kOhms
• Package / Case: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be ≥0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover or exceed -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 or better

The ERA-8AEB1183V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07118KL and ERA-8AEB1183V are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, suitable for unrestricted moisture environments. The ERA-8AEB1183V provides enhanced performance through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), with automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification. Physical dimensions differ slightly (3.20mm versus 3.10mm length; 0.70mm versus 0.65mm height), requiring verification of PCB layout clearances in space-constrained applications. Both components maintain identical electrical performance within their respective tolerance bands for the specified 118 kOhms resistance value and 0.25W power rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1183V replace RT1206FRE07118KL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (118 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions differ by 0.1mm in length and 0.05mm in height; verify PCB layout clearances before substitution.

Q: What are the tolerance differences between these parts?

A: RT1206FRE07118KL specifies ±1% tolerance, while ERA-8AEB1183V specifies ±0.1% tolerance. The ERA-8AEB1183V provides tighter tolerance control, beneficial for precision analog circuits requiring lower component variation.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect circuit performance?

A: RT1206FRE07118KL has ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient; ERA-8AEB1183V has ±25ppm/°C. The lower coefficient in ERA-8AEB1183V results in reduced resistance drift across the operating temperature range, improving circuit stability in temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: RT1206FRE07118KL is general-purpose industrial grade. ERA-8AEB1183V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, meeting automotive reliability and qualification standards. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating for both parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both components can be stored and handled without desiccant packaging or moisture-controlled environments.

Q: Are there any RoHS or REACH compliance concerns?

A: Both components are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for unrestricted use in applicable markets.
