Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE07160KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 160 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Composition: Thin Film

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: Equal to or tighter than ±1% (±0.1% acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: Equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C (±25ppm/°C acceptable)
• Physical dimensions: Within standard 1206 package specifications
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 and REACH status maintained

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: RT1206BRD07160KL (YAGEO, upgraded tolerance) and ERA-8AEB164V (Panasonic, automotive-grade with AEC-Q200 qualification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07160KL (YAGEO): This substitute provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced precision without automotive qualification requirements. ROHS3 and REACH compliance are maintained.

ERA-8AEB164V (Panasonic): This substitute meets the same electrical specifications as RT1206BRD07160KL with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical dimensions are within acceptable 1206 package tolerance (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W). Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component reliability. ROHS3 and REACH compliance are maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07160KL directly replace RT1206FRE07160KL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value, power rating, package format, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications, making it a direct upgrade with no circuit redesign required.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB164V compatible with standard 1206 PCB footprints?

A: Yes. ERA-8AEB164V uses the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. Physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W x 0.028" H) fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and are compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for 1206 components.

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

A: RT1206BRD07160KL is a standard-grade precision resistor. ERA-8AEB164V is an automotive-grade component with AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07160KL, RT1206BRD07160KL, and ERA-8AEB164V are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All three components operate across the -55°C to 155°C temperature range. However, ERA-8AEB164V and RT1206BRD07160KL offer superior temperature stability (±25ppm/°C) compared to the original part (±50ppm/°C).
