Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0716K5L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 16.5 kOhms
• Package Type: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be ≥0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin film technology for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH requirements must be maintained

The ERA-8AEB1652V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), it maintains identical resistance value, package footprint, power rating, and temperature operating range. Both components are thin film resistors with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE0716K5L and ERA-8AEB1652V meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 16.5 kOhms thin film resistor applications in 1206 package format. Selection between these components should be based on application-specific requirements:

The RT1206FRE0716K5L is suitable for general-purpose applications where standard ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient are acceptable.

The ERA-8AEB1652V is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control (±0.1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C). The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification indicates suitability for automotive-grade applications where enhanced reliability standards are mandated.

Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity protection, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1652V directly replace RT1206FRE0716K5L on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package footprints with matching termination count (2 terminals) and similar physical dimensions. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What are the tolerance differences between these resistors?

A: The RT1206FRE0716K5L has ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB1652V has ±0.1% tolerance. The ERA-8AEB1652V provides tighter resistance value control, beneficial for precision analog circuits or applications with strict tolerance requirements.

Q: How do temperature coefficients affect circuit performance?

A: The RT1206FRE0716K5L has ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while the ERA-8AEB1652V has ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient means resistance value remains more stable across the -55°C to 155°C operating range, reducing drift in temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Are both components suitable for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB1652V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RT1206FRE0716K5L does not specify automotive qualification. For automotive-grade designs, the ERA-8AEB1652V is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do these components have identical moisture sensitivity ratings?

A: Yes. Both components have MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations during storage or handling.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE0716K5L and ERA-8AEB1652V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
