Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07200KL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 200 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin film technology for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required

Tolerance, temperature coefficient, and specific certifications (such as AEC-Q200) are secondary parameters that define performance tier upgrades rather than substitution barriers. All identified substitutes meet the mandatory parameters above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Same Tolerance Tier)

RT1206DRD07200KL serves as a direct substitute with improved tolerance (±0.5% vs ±1%) while maintaining identical resistance, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. This part is suitable for applications where tighter tolerance is beneficial without design modification.

Precision Upgrade Path

RT1206BRD07200KL and ERA-8AEB204V both offer ±0.1% tolerance with reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). These components are appropriate for precision analog circuits, instrumentation, and measurement applications requiring enhanced stability.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives

ERA-8AEB204V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-2003-B-T5 (Susumi) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RG3216P-2003-B-T5 additionally features anti-sulfur coating for enhanced environmental robustness. These parts are specified for automotive, industrial, and harsh-environment applications.

Inventory and Packaging Considerations

RT1206FRE07200KL and RT1206DRD07200KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. RT1206BRD07200KL is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. ERA-8AEB204V and RG3216P-2003-B-T5 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07200KL replace RT1206FRE07200KL in any application?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD07200KL meets all mandatory substitution parameters: identical 200 kOhms resistance, 1206 package, 0.25W power rating, thin film composition, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. The tighter ±0.1% tolerance is a performance enhancement, not a limitation.

Q: What is the difference between RT1206DRD07200KL and RT1206BRD07200KL?

A: Both parts share 200 kOhms resistance, 1206 package, and 0.25W rating. RT1206BRD07200KL offers ±0.1% tolerance; RT1206DRD07200KL offers ±0.5% tolerance. Both have ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Are ERA-8AEB204V and RG3216P-2003-B-T5 suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade reliability and environmental stress testing. These parts exceed standard commercial specifications and are fully compatible with general-purpose, industrial, and consumer applications.

Q: Does package dimension variation affect PCB compatibility?

A: All listed substitutes use 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.122" L x 0.063" W / 3.10mm x 1.60mm). Minor height variations (0.020" to 0.028" seated maximum) do not affect standard PCB assembly processes or clearance requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best temperature stability?

A: All substitute parts (RT1206BRD07200KL, RT1206DRD07200KL, ERA-8AEB204V, RG3216P-2003-B-T5) feature ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, compared to the original ±50ppm/°C. This represents a 50% improvement in temperature stability across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range.
