RT1206FRE07118RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07118RL is a 118 Ohms ±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 and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The component is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained while potentially offering improved specifications such as tighter tolerance or enhanced reliability ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERA-8AEB1180V qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Both parts specify 118 Ohms
• Package Format: Both use 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package
• Power Rating: Both rated at 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Both are thin film resistors
• Operating Temperature: Both support -55°C to 155°C range
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating

The ERA-8AEB1180V provides enhanced specifications including tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07118RL and ERA-8AEB1180V are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance. The ERA-8AEB1180V is suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control and automotive-grade reliability through AEC-Q200 qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements and whether automotive qualification is necessary for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1180V replace RT1206FRE07118RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, package format, and operating temperature range. The ERA-8AEB1180V offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical termination count (2). Dimensional variations are minimal (length 3.10mm versus 3.20mm, height 0.65mm versus 0.70mm) and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance on the ERA-8AEB1180V?

A: The tighter tolerance specification reduces resistance value variation across the production batch compared to the ±1% tolerance of the RT1206FRE07118RL. This is relevant for precision analog circuits where resistance accuracy directly impacts circuit performance.

Q: Does AEC-Q200 qualification matter for non-automotive applications?

A: AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality standards. For non-automotive applications, this certification is not required but may provide additional confidence in component reliability if specified in procurement requirements.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent packaging formats?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
