RT1206FRE0717K8L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE0717K8L is a 17.8 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W power dissipation. This YAGEO component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, designed for general-purpose SMD applications requiring standard tolerance performance across industrial temperature ranges.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, enhanced tolerance specifications, or automotive-grade certifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the 1206 package footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE0717K8L are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 17.8 kOhms
• Equal or superior tolerance: ±1% or better
• Identical power rating: 0.25W
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Matching or overlapping operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• MSL rating of 1 or equivalent

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: RT1206BRD0717K8L (YAGEO, upgraded tolerance) and ERA-8AEB1782V (Panasonic, automotive-grade with AEC-Q200 certification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD0717K8L represents a direct upgrade path within the YAGEO RT series, offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package geometry and power rating. This substitution is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy without automotive qualification requirements.

ERA-8AEB1782V provides equivalent electrical performance with additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is specified for automotive and high-reliability applications where component traceability and automotive-grade manufacturing processes are mandated. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W; height 0.028" versus 0.026"), requiring verification of PCB layout constraints in space-critical designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0717K8L replace RT1206FRE0717K8L in any application?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD0717K8L is electrically and mechanically compatible. It provides superior tolerance and temperature stability. PCB footprint compatibility is guaranteed as both use identical 1206 package specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between RT1206BRD0717K8L and ERA-8AEB1782V?

A: Both offer ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. ERA-8AEB1782V includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification and has slightly larger physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.028" H versus 0.122" L x 0.026" H). Select ERA-8AEB1782V for automotive applications; RT1206BRD0717K8L for general industrial use.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE0717K8L, RT1206BRD0717K8L, and ERA-8AEB1782V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1782V be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERA-8AEB1782V meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical requirements for general-purpose applications. Automotive certification does not restrict use in non-automotive designs.

Q: What is the impact of different physical dimensions between RT1206FRE0717K8L and ERA-8AEB1782V?

A: Dimensional differences are minimal. Verify PCB layout clearances and solder pad dimensions, particularly in high-density designs. Both parts use standard 1206 footprints and are compatible with automated assembly equipment.
