Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE071K96L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical resistance value: 1.96 kOhms
• Equal or tighter tolerance: ±1% or better (±0.1% acceptable)
• Equal or greater power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Thin film composition maintained

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) standard
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint
• Two terminations (standard SMD configuration)

Environmental & Compliance:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C or wider
• RoHS3 compliance maintained
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

Substitutes meeting these criteria are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in the original application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD071K96L (YAGEO): This substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical power rating, package format, and operating temperature range. Both components are YAGEO products with active production status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without design modification.

ERA-8AEB1961V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute provides equivalent electrical performance to RT1206BRD071K96L with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The component carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability screening and process control. Physical dimensions are within 1206 footprint compatibility (3.20mm L × 1.60mm W vs. 3.10mm × 1.60mm). Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD071K96L directly replace RT1206FRE071K96L in the same circuit?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (1.96 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The substitute has tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient, making it functionally superior with no circuit redesign required.

Q: What is the difference between RT1206BRD071K96L and ERA-8AEB1961V?

A: Both offer ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary difference is manufacturer (YAGEO vs. Panasonic) and automotive qualification (ERA-8AEB1961V carries AEC-Q200 rating). Physical dimensions are slightly different (3.10mm vs. 3.20mm length) but remain within 1206 footprint compatibility. Selection depends on supply chain preference and automotive requirement.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: All three parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with two terminations. Physical dimensions are within standard 1206 footprint tolerance. No PCB layout or reflow profile modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Which substitute should I select for improved circuit performance?

A: RT1206BRD071K96L and ERA-8AEB1961V both provide tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) compared to the original part. For non-automotive applications, RT1206BRD071K96L is appropriate. For automotive or high-reliability applications, ERA-8AEB1961V with AEC-Q200 qualification is recommended.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE071K96L, RT1206BRD071K96L, and ERA-8AEB1961V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
