Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0716RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 16 Ohms
• Package Type: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) or higher
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status

The RT1206BRD0716RL qualifies as a direct substitute with enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE0716RL and RT1206BRD0716RL are Active products manufactured by YAGEO with full ROHS3 compliance and identical mechanical compatibility. The RT1206BRD0716RL provides enhanced tolerance (±0.1%) and superior temperature coefficient stability (±25ppm/°C) compared to the main part specification (±1%, ±50ppm/°C). Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements and thermal stability specifications. Both components are suitable for applications requiring 16 Ohm resistance in 1206 package format with -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0716RL replace RT1206FRE0716RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RT1206BRD0716RL is a direct substitute with identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The enhanced tolerance and temperature coefficient represent improved performance characteristics.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) and maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of tolerance differences?

A: The RT1206FRE0716RL specifies ±1% tolerance, while the RT1206BRD0716RL specifies ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides greater resistance value accuracy, beneficial for precision circuit applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE0716RL and RT1206BRD0716RL are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What does the temperature coefficient specification indicate?

A: Temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C for the main part, ±25ppm/°C for the substitute) indicates how much the resistance value changes per degree Celsius. The lower coefficient of the substitute part indicates greater stability across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.
