RT1206FRE0712RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE0712RL is a 12 Ohm ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation. This component is manufactured by YAGEO and maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternatives with improved tolerance specifications or different packaging configurations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the 1206 package family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0712RL is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: resistance value (12 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Substitute parts must maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The identified substitutes represent tolerance upgrades within the same product family:

• RT1206BRD0712RL: Tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%), improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging
• RT1206DRE0712RL: Intermediate tolerance specification (±0.5% versus ±1%), standard temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), Tape & Reel packaging

All substitutes maintain identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturing support and environmental regulatory adherence. Selection between RT1206FRE0712RL and its substitutes depends on application tolerance requirements:

• RT1206FRE0712RL is suitable for general-purpose applications tolerating ±1% resistance variation
• RT1206BRD0712RL provides superior tolerance performance (±0.1%) for precision circuits requiring tighter resistance control and lower temperature coefficient drift
• RT1206DRE0712RL offers intermediate tolerance (±0.5%) as a middle-ground option

Packaging format selection (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) should align with procurement and assembly workflow requirements. All parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameter boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0712RL directly replace RT1206FRE0712RL in production?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (12 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package dimensions (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). RT1206BRD0712RL provides improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient, making it a direct electrical and mechanical substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between RT1206DRE0712RL and RT1206BRD0712RL?

A: Both maintain the same 12 Ohm resistance and 0.25W power rating. RT1206DRE0712RL has ±0.5% tolerance with ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while RT1206BRD0712RL has tighter ±0.1% tolerance with ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Packaging differs: RT1206DRE0712RL uses Tape & Reel, while RT1206BRD0712RL uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts.

Q: Does package format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging formats do not alter electrical characteristics. Selection should be based on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement logistics.

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

A: RT1206BRD0712RL is the appropriate choice for precision applications, offering ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient compared to the original ±1% tolerance specification.
