Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE07187RL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Resistance Value: Exact match at 187 Ohms
• Package Type: Identical 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Power Rating: Equal or greater than 0.25W
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 155°C coverage
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected
• Termination Count: 2 terminations

The identified substitutes meet or exceed these parameters. Enhanced specifications such as improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represent upgrades rather than direct equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent: The RT1206FRE07187RL remains the primary selection for applications requiring standard tolerance (±1%) thin film 187 Ohm resistors in 1206 package with standard industrial specifications.

Upgrade Substitutes: Both ERA-8AEB1870V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-1870-B-T1 (Susumu) provide enhanced performance through improved tolerance (±0.1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher precision or automotive-grade reliability. The RG3216P-1870-B-T1 additionally features anti-sulfur construction.

Selection Basis: All three parts maintain identical resistance, power rating, package form factor, and operating temperature range. Substitution is determined by tolerance requirements, automotive qualification necessity, and environmental performance specifications. Product status for all three parts is active with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1870V or RG3216P-1870-B-T1 be used as direct replacements for RT1206FRE07187RL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts share identical resistance value (187 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute parts provide improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making them functionally compatible and performance-enhanced alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: ERA-8AEB1870V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-1870-B-T1 (Susumi) both offer ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 qualification. The RG3216P-1870-B-T1 includes anti-sulfur construction and has a lower maximum seated height (0.020" versus 0.028"). Both maintain identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07187RL, ERA-8AEB1870V, and RG3216P-1870-B-T1 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What does the ±0.1% tolerance improvement mean for circuit performance?

A: The substitute parts with ±0.1% tolerance provide tighter resistance value control compared to the ±1% tolerance of the original part. This results in more precise circuit behavior, particularly in applications where resistance accuracy directly affects circuit function, such as precision filters, reference networks, or measurement circuits.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. All three parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions and 2-termination configuration, allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility. Physical dimensions are equivalent for standard board assembly processes.
