Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0724K3L is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 24.3 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum coverage
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations within package specification are acceptable
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all parameters align

The identified substitutes meet all mandatory parameters. RT1206BRD0724K3L offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) with identical mechanical and thermal specifications. ERA-8AEB2432V provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with equivalent electrical performance and slightly different physical dimensions within 1206 package tolerance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD0724K3L (YAGEO): Direct upgrade path with tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% vs ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Identical package, power rating, and operating range. ROHS3 compliant. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision without automotive qualification requirements. Higher inventory availability (7930 units).

ERA-8AEB2432V (Panasonic): Automotive-grade alternative with AEC-Q200 qualification. Delivers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Physical dimensions vary slightly within 1206 package specification (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W vs 3.10mm x 1.60mm; 0.70mm height vs 0.65mm). ROHS3 compliant. Appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component certification. Highest inventory availability (9015 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD0724K3L replace RT1206FRE0724K3L in any application?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD0724K3L is a direct substitute with superior specifications. The tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) make it suitable for all applications where RT1206FRE0724K3L is specified. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB2432V compatible with standard 1206 footprints?

A: ERA-8AEB2432V is mechanically compatible with 1206 footprints. Physical dimensions are 3.20mm L x 1.60mm W x 0.70mm height (max), compared to 3.10mm x 1.60mm x 0.65mm for the original part. These variations fall within standard 1206 package tolerance and do not affect PCB assembly or electrical performance.

Q: When should I select ERA-8AEB2432V over RT1206BRD0724K3L?

A: Select ERA-8AEB2432V when automotive-grade components are required or specified. AEC-Q200 qualification is mandatory for automotive applications. Both parts offer identical electrical performance (±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient). For non-automotive applications, either substitute is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE0724K3L, RT1206BRD0724K3L, and ERA-8AEB2432V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the primary advantage of the substitute parts?

A: Both substitutes offer improved tolerance specification (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), resulting in enhanced circuit accuracy and stability across the operating temperature range. ERA-8AEB2432V additionally provides automotive qualification for regulated applications.
