Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07169RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 169 Ohms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts
• Power Rating: Must be rated for minimum 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance required for regulatory alignment

The ERA-8AEB1690V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07169RL and ERA-8AEB1690V maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). The ERA-8AEB1690V provides enhanced performance characteristics through tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for precision applications requiring improved stability. The ERA-8AEB1690V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which extends its applicability to automotive and mission-critical environments. Selection between these parts should be based on application tolerance requirements and environmental qualification needs rather than functional compatibility, as both components are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB1690V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206FRE07169RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (169 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB1690V is mechanically and electrically compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for the RT1206FRE07169RL.

Q: What are the key differences between these two resistors?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specification (±0.1% for ERA-8AEB1690V versus ±1% for RT1206FRE07169RL), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200 for ERA-8AEB1690V). These differences represent performance enhancements rather than functional incompatibilities.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE07169RL and ERA-8AEB1690V are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB1690V is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is the appropriate selection for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

Q: Do these resistors have identical physical dimensions?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. Minor dimensional variations exist (RT1206FRE07169RL: 3.10mm L × 1.60mm W × 0.65mm H maximum; ERA-8AEB1690V: 3.20mm L × 1.60mm W × 0.70mm H maximum), but these fall within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.
