Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07237RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 237 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) mechanical compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum coverage
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better

The ERA-8AEB2370V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade certification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07237RL and ERA-8AEB2370V maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The ERA-8AEB2370V provides enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the RT1206FRE07237RL is suitable for general-purpose applications, while the ERA-8AEB2370V is specified for automotive and precision applications requiring tighter tolerance control and lower temperature coefficient performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2370V replace RT1206FRE07237RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (237 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2370V offers superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct functional substitute.

Q: What are the mechanical compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical termination count (2). Dimensional differences are minimal: RT1206FRE07237RL measures 3.10mm × 1.60mm with 0.65mm maximum seated height, while ERA-8AEB2370V measures 3.20mm × 1.60mm with 0.70mm maximum seated height. These variations fall within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 footprints.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-8AEB2370V includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is not specified for the RT1206FRE07237RL. This distinction is relevant only for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

Q: How do tolerance specifications affect circuit performance?

A: The RT1206FRE07237RL tolerance of ±1% allows resistance values between 234.63 Ohms and 239.37 Ohms. The ERA-8AEB2370V tolerance of ±0.1% constrains values between 236.76 Ohms and 237.24 Ohms. Applications requiring precise resistance values benefit from the tighter tolerance of the ERA-8AEB2370V.
