Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0716K2L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 16.2 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) or higher
• Composition: Thin film technology maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Tolerance: ±1% or better (tighter tolerance is acceptable as an upgrade)
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance required

The ERA-8AEB1622V qualifies as a direct substitute by meeting all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB1622V from Panasonic Electronic Components serves as a qualified substitute for the RT1206FRE0716K2L. Both components maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

The Panasonic ERA-8AEB1622V offers performance enhancements including tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification extends applicability to automotive and high-reliability environments.

Selection between these components should be based on application-specific requirements: the YAGEO RT1206FRE0716K2L for standard general-purpose applications, and the Panasonic ERA-8AEB1622V for precision-critical or automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB1622V replace the RT1206FRE0716K2L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (16.2 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB1622V's superior tolerance and lower temperature coefficient represent performance improvements compatible with the original design requirements.

Q: Are there physical footprint differences between these components?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Dimensional variations are minimal: RT1206FRE0716K2L measures 3.10mm × 1.60mm with 0.65mm maximum seated height, while ERA-8AEB1622V measures 3.20mm × 1.60mm with 0.70mm maximum seated height. These differences fall within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 certification on the Panasonic part?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates the component meets automotive industry reliability and quality standards. This qualification is relevant only for applications requiring automotive-grade components. For non-automotive applications, this certification provides no functional advantage.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE0716K2L and ERA-8AEB1622V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which component should be selected for high-precision applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB1622V is the appropriate choice for applications requiring tighter tolerance specifications. Its ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient provide superior stability compared to the RT1206FRE0716K2L's ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
