Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0715K8L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 15.8 kOhms
• Package Type: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) or greater
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains electrical performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Termination Count: Must be 2-terminal configuration
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required for regulatory alignment

The ERA-8AEB1582V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Enhanced specifications such as improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represent upgrades that do not compromise compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206FRE0715K8L (YAGEO): Select this part for standard industrial applications where ±1% tolerance meets circuit requirements and cost optimization is prioritized. Active production status and unlimited MSL rating ensure consistent availability and simplified handling.

ERA-8AEB1582V (Panasonic): Select this part when enhanced tolerance (±0.1%) is required for precision analog circuits or when automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q200) is mandated by application standards. The improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) provides superior stability across the operating temperature range. ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating maintain regulatory and manufacturing compatibility with the primary part.

Both parts maintain identical package footprints, power ratings, and operating temperature ranges, ensuring direct PCB-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1582V replace RT1206FRE0715K8L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance values, package dimensions (1206), power ratings (0.25W), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB1582V features improved tolerance and automotive qualification, which represent enhancements rather than compatibility limitations.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The ERA-8AEB1582V provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to the RT1206FRE0715K8L's ±1% tolerance, and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The temperature coefficient is also improved (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Resistance value, package type, and power rating remain identical.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Dimensional variations (RT1206FRE0715K8L: 3.10mm × 1.60mm; ERA-8AEB1582V: 3.20mm × 1.60mm) and height differences (0.65mm versus 0.70mm maximum) are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not require layout modification.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB1582V is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is the appropriate choice for automotive-grade designs. The RT1206FRE0715K8L is suitable for general industrial applications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RT1206FRE0715K8L and ERA-8AEB1582V are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
