RT1206FRE07232RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07232RL is a 232 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with ±1% tolerance and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain electrical equivalence in resistance value, power rating, and package format while potentially offering improved performance characteristics such as tighter tolerance or enhanced reliability certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07232RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 232 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant minimum

The ERA-8AEB2320V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. Additional performance enhancements in the substitute include improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade reliability certification (AEC-Q200), which do not compromise compatibility but extend application suitability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07232RL and ERA-8AEB2320V maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The ERA-8AEB2320V provides enhanced performance through tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the RT1206FRE07232RL is suitable for general-purpose applications, while the ERA-8AEB2320V is appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications where tighter tolerance and enhanced temperature stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) are beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2320V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE07232RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (232 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2320V offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±1% and ±0.1%?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal resistance value. The ±0.1% specification of the ERA-8AEB2320V provides tighter control over resistance accuracy compared to the ±1% specification of the RT1206FRE07232RL, beneficial in precision circuit applications.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 certification on the ERA-8AEB2320V affect compatibility?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an automotive reliability qualification that indicates enhanced testing and quality standards. This certification does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility; it extends the part's suitability to automotive applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist (RT1206FRE07232RL: 3.10mm × 1.60mm; ERA-8AEB2320V: 3.20mm × 1.60mm), which remain within standard PCB footprint tolerances for 1206 components and do not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these components can be stored indefinitely without moisture-related degradation concerns, provided standard storage conditions are maintained.
