RT1206FRE07196KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07196KL is a 196 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface-mount device is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making it suitable for general industrial and commercial applications. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical specifications: resistance value, package format, power rating, and operating temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE07196KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 196 kOhms
• Identical package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) maintained

The identified substitutes meet or exceed the tolerance specification (±1%) and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility. Tolerance improvements and automotive-grade certifications represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from the core specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ERA-8AEB1963V and RG3216P-1963-B-T5 are direct functional substitutes for RT1206FRE07196KL. Selection between these options depends on application requirements:

ERA-8AEB1963V (Panasonic) provides improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) with Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision and automotive-grade reliability.

RG3216P-1963-B-T5 (Susumu) offers identical tolerance and temperature coefficient improvements as the Panasonic option, with additional anti-sulfur protection and Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is specified for environments with corrosive atmospheric conditions or extended automotive service life requirements.

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Dimensional variations (height and length tolerances) are within acceptable PCB assembly parameters for 1206 package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB1963V or RG3216P-1963-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for RT1206FRE07196KL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts match the core electrical specifications (196 kOhms, 0.25W, 1206 package, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and maintain identical RoHS and MSL compliance. The substitutes provide equal or improved performance characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between ±1% and ±0.1% tolerance?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal resistance value. RT1206FRE07196KL allows ±1% deviation (±1.96 kOhms from 196 kOhms nominal). ERA-8AEB1963V and RG3216P-1963-B-T5 allow ±0.1% deviation (±0.196 kOhms), providing tighter resistance control suitable for precision analog circuits.

Q: Are there physical differences between these parts?

A: All three parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE07196KL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W with 0.026" max height; ERA-8AEB1963V and RG3216P-1963-B-T5 measure 0.126" L × 0.063" W. RG3216P-1963-B-T5 has 0.020" max height. These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What does Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for passive components. It specifies reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications, including thermal cycling, humidity resistance, and failure rate testing. Both substitute parts carry this qualification; the original RT1206FRE07196KL does not.

Q: When should I select RG3216P-1963-B-T5 over ERA-8AEB1963V?

A: Select RG3216P-1963-B-T5 when the application environment includes corrosive atmospheric conditions (sulfur compounds, salt spray, industrial pollution) or when anti-sulfur protection is specified. Both parts provide identical electrical performance; anti-sulfur protection is an environmental durability feature.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07196KL, ERA-8AEB1963V, and RG3216P-1963-B-T5 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
