RT1206FRE07165KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07165KL is a 165 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W power dissipation. This component is manufactured by YAGEO and maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with 801 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, and power ratings are maintained while allowing for improvements in tolerance specifications or temperature coefficient performance. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design requirements permit enhanced performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07165KL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 165 kOhms
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Physical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Compliance certifications: RoHS3, REACH status maintained

The RT1206BRD07165KL qualifies as a direct substitute by maintaining all mandatory parameters while providing improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07165KL and RT1206BRD07165KL maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance under RoHS3 and REACH standards. The RT1206BRD07165KL provides enhanced performance characteristics through tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision and thermal stability. Both components are identical in physical footprint, power rating, and operating temperature range, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without design modification. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements rather than functional or compliance constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07165KL replace RT1206FRE07165KL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The RT1206BRD07165KL provides improved tolerance and temperature coefficient performance without requiring PCB layout changes.

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

A: The RT1206BRD07165KL offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Both are thin film 165 kOhms resistors in identical 1206 packages manufactured by YAGEO.

Q: Are there any compliance or packaging differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Compliance certifications and handling requirements are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly line?

A: Yes. Identical package dimensions (0.122" L x 0.063" W / 3.10mm x 1.60mm) and height (0.026" / 0.65mm maximum) ensure compatibility with the same pick-and-place equipment and solder reflow profiles.

Q: Which part should be selected for precision analog circuits?

A: The RT1206BRD07165KL is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control and stable performance across temperature variations due to its ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
