RT1206FRE07210KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07210KL is a 210 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide alternatives with improved tolerance specifications, automotive-grade certifications, or enhanced environmental protection while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 210 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum to support circuit requirements
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Termination Count: Must be 2 terminations for direct pin compatibility

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory parameters. Variations in tolerance (±0.1% to ±0.5%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and feature sets (automotive AEC-Q200, anti-sulfur protection) represent upgrades or specialized variants rather than functional limitations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original RT1206FRE07210KL specification.

ERA-8AEB2103V (Panasonic) provides improved tolerance performance at ±0.1% with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision and automotive-grade reliability without additional environmental protection features.

RG3216P-2103-B-T5 (Susumu) combines ±0.1% tolerance with AEC-Q200 automotive rating and anti-sulfur protection. The reduced seated height (0.020" vs. 0.026") may provide advantages in space-constrained designs. This variant is appropriate for automotive and industrial environments with potential sulfur exposure.

RG3216P-2103-D-T5 (Susumu) offers AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur protection with ±0.5% tolerance. This part maintains compatibility while providing environmental protection at a tolerance level between the original specification and higher-precision alternatives.

Selection should be based on application requirements for tolerance precision, automotive certification necessity, and environmental protection needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2103V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE07210KL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (210 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2103V provides improved tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C), making it functionally compatible with enhanced performance characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between RG3216P-2103-B-T5 and RG3216P-2103-D-T5?

A: Both Susumu parts feature identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. The primary difference is tolerance: RG3216P-2103-B-T5 specifies ±0.1% tolerance while RG3216P-2103-D-T5 specifies ±0.5% tolerance. Both include anti-sulfur protection and AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: ERA-8AEB2103V, RG3216P-2103-B-T5, and RG3216P-2103-D-T5 all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The original RT1206FRE07210KL does not specify automotive certification. Substitute parts are appropriate for automotive use; the original part requires application-specific validation for automotive environments.

Q: Does package size differ between these parts?

A: All parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package format with identical footprint compatibility. Seated height varies slightly: RT1206FRE07210KL (0.026" max), ERA-8AEB2103V (0.028" max), and both Susumu parts (0.020" max). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: What does anti-sulfur protection mean?

A: Anti-sulfur protection (featured in both Susumu RG3216P variants) provides resistance to sulfur-containing atmospheric contaminants that can degrade component performance in industrial and harsh environments. This feature is not present in the original RT1206FRE07210KL or ERA-8AEB2103V.
