RT1206FRE071K02L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE071K02L is a 1.02 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by YAGEO. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, power ratings, and package dimensions are maintained within specified tolerances, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE071K02L is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value must equal 1.02 kOhms
• Power rating must be minimum 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package must be 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount
• Composition must be thin film
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture sensitivity level must be 1 (Unlimited)

The ERA-8AEB1021V from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria. While this part features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations from the core electrical and mechanical requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB1021V qualifies as a direct substitute for the RT1206FRE071K02L based on matching resistance, power rating, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility in standard PCB assembly and storage environments.

The ERA-8AEB1021V incorporates AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade component standards. The improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) represent performance enhancements suitable for precision circuit applications without introducing substitution constraints.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements, inventory availability, and cost considerations. Both components are Active status with established supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB1021V replace the RT1206FRE071K02L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values (1.02 kOhms), power ratings (0.25W), package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical footprint compatibility and electrical performance are maintained.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The RT1206FRE071K02L specifies ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB1021V specifies ±0.1% tolerance. The ERA-8AEB1021V provides tighter tolerance control, which may benefit precision analog circuits or measurement applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE071K02L and ERA-8AEB1021V are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), meeting standard environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification that certifies component reliability under automotive operating conditions. The ERA-8AEB1021V carries this certification; the RT1206FRE071K02L does not specify this rating.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RT1206FRE071K02L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. The ERA-8AEB1021V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. Both fit standard 1206 footprints without layout modification.
