Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE071K2L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical resistance value: 1.2 kOhms
• Equal or superior tolerance specification
• Matching power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Thin film composition maintained
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Two terminations
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Compliance Requirements:

• ROHS3 compliance maintained
• MSL Level 1 rating
• REACH unaffected status

Three substitute parts meet these criteria: RT1206BRD071K2L (YAGEO), ERA-8AEB122V (Panasonic), and RG3216P-1201-B-T5 (Susumu). All substitutes offer improved tolerance specifications (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) compared to the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD071K2L (YAGEO): Direct manufacturer upgrade within the same product line. Maintains identical package and footprint compatibility while improving tolerance to ±0.1% and reducing temperature coefficient to ±25ppm/°C. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision without automotive qualification requirements. Available in Tape & Reel packaging.

ERA-8AEB122V (Panasonic): Qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standard. Provides ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Dimensions vary slightly (0.126" L vs 0.122" L; 0.028" H vs 0.026" H) but remain within 1206 package classification. Supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format. Appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications.

RG3216P-1201-B-T5 (Susumu): Combines AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur feature. Delivers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Lowest seated height (0.020" vs 0.026") may provide advantages in space-constrained layouts. Tape & Reel packaging. Optimal for automotive environments with corrosive exposure risk.

All three substitutes maintain active product status and full compliance certifications. Selection depends on application-specific requirements: precision tolerance, automotive qualification, environmental resistance, and packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD071K2L replace RT1206FRE071K2L in any application?

A: Yes, within the constraints of tolerance requirements. RT1206BRD071K2L provides superior tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. No automotive qualification is present in either part.

Q: What is the difference between the Panasonic ERA-8AEB122V and Susumu RG3216P-1201-B-T5?

A: Both offer identical electrical specifications (1.2 kOhms, ±0.1%, 0.25W, ±25ppm/°C) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The Susumu part includes anti-sulfur feature and has lower seated height (0.020" vs 0.028"). Panasonic uses Cut Tape/Digi-Reel packaging; Susumu uses Tape & Reel. Selection depends on packaging requirements and environmental exposure to sulfur compounds.

Q: Are there physical footprint differences between these parts?

A: All parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package classification. Minor dimensional variations exist: ERA-8AEB122V and RG3216P-1201-B-T5 are slightly longer (0.126" vs 0.122") and taller (0.028" and 0.020" respectively vs 0.026"). These variations remain within 1206 package tolerance and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Which substitute is best for high-temperature applications?

A: All parts operate identically across -55°C to 155°C range. Selection should be based on tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements. Substitutes offer superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), providing better stability across the operating range.

Q: Do packaging format differences affect component selection?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs Cut Tape/Digi-Reel) affects supply chain logistics and handling but not electrical or mechanical performance. RT1206BRD071K2L and RG3216P-1201-B-T5 use Tape & Reel; ERA-8AEB122V uses Cut Tape and Digi-Reel. Selection depends on assembly line equipment and inventory management requirements.

Q: Is AEC-Q200 qualification necessary for non-automotive applications?

A: AEC-Q200 qualification is not required for non-automotive use. However, automotive-qualified parts (ERA-8AEB122V, RG3216P-1201-B-T5) undergo additional reliability testing and environmental screening. These parts are suitable for any application but may carry higher cost. For non-automotive applications without specific reliability requirements, RT1206BRD071K2L provides adequate performance at potentially lower cost.
