Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 160 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum coverage
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering margins. The ERA-8AEB161V additionally qualifies as an automotive-grade substitute through AEC-Q200 certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07160RL serves as a direct upgrade substitute with tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating range. Both YAGEO parts are standard industrial grade with equivalent compliance certifications.

ERA-8AEB161V provides an alternative from Panasonic with equivalent electrical performance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical dimensions show minor variation (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W) and maximum seated height of 0.028" versus 0.026", which may require verification in space-constrained layouts. This part is suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification.

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and full operating temperature coverage from -55°C to 155°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07160RL replace RT1206FRE07160RL in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications, making it suitable for applications where the original part is unavailable.

Q: What is the primary difference between the YAGEO and Panasonic options?

A: The ERA-8AEB161V includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and has slightly larger physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.028" H maximum versus 0.122" L x 0.026" H). Select the Panasonic part for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns with ERA-8AEB161V?

A: The ERA-8AEB161V maintains the 1206 (3216 Metric) package designation. However, the maximum seated height is 0.028" compared to 0.026" for the YAGEO parts. Verify clearance in applications with tight vertical constraints.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating and REACH unaffected status. The ERA-8AEB161V additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for general industrial applications?

A: RT1206BRD07160RL is the preferred substitute for standard industrial use, offering superior tolerance and temperature stability with no additional cost or compliance burden.
