RT1206FRE0715K4L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE0715K4L is a 15.4 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W power dissipation. This YAGEO component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, designed for general-purpose SMD applications requiring standard tolerance resistive elements. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, enhanced tolerance specifications, or automotive-grade requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0715K4L is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 15.4 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum coverage
• RoHS3 compliance

Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering margins. Substitute parts identified below meet all mandatory parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD0715K4L (YAGEO): This substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package dimensions and power rating. Both components are YAGEO products with active production status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without design modification.

ERA-8AEB1542V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute provides ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with automotive AEC-Q200 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"). Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or environments requiring AEC-Q200 certification. PCB layout verification is required due to dimensional variance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0715K4L replace RT1206FRE0715K4L in any application?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value, power rating, package format, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers superior tolerance and temperature stability. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB1542V mechanically compatible with RT1206FRE0715K4L?

A: ERA-8AEB1542V is mechanically compatible with standard 1206 footprints. However, dimensional differences exist: length 0.126" (versus 0.122") and height 0.028" (versus 0.026"). Verify PCB layout clearances before substitution, particularly in space-constrained designs.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting RT1206BRD0715K4L over the original part?

A: RT1206BRD0715K4L provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in improved circuit accuracy and thermal stability across the operating temperature range.

Q: When should ERA-8AEB1542V be selected?

A: ERA-8AEB1542V is the appropriate choice for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification or for designs where automotive-grade reliability standards are specified.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD0715K4L, ERA-8AEB1542V, and the original RT1206FRE0715K4L are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
