RT1206FRE07261KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07261KL is a 261 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This surface mount device is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation and operates across -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 when equivalent resistance values, package dimensions, and power ratings are maintained while offering improved tolerance specifications or automotive-grade certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07261KL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 261 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 to 155°C minimum coverage
• RoHS3 compliance

Substitute parts identified below meet all mandatory parameters. Tolerance specifications may be tighter (±0.1% vs. ±1%), and additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) may be present. Temperature coefficient and physical dimensions may vary within acceptable mechanical and electrical limits for the 1206 package class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07261KL (YAGEO) serves as a direct upgrade path, offering tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package dimensions and power rating. Both YAGEO parts share the same 1206 footprint and thermal characteristics.

ERA-8AEB2613V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides an alternative with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part maintains the same resistance, tolerance, and power rating but features slightly larger physical dimensions (0.126" L vs. 0.122" L and 0.028" height vs. 0.026" height). The AEC-Q200 certification qualifies this part for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability standards. Selection between YAGEO and Panasonic variants depends on application requirements and automotive qualification necessity.

All three parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07261KL replace RT1206FRE07261KL in any application?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD07261KL is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts share identical 1206 package dimensions, power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between ERA-8AEB2613V and the YAGEO parts?

A: ERA-8AEB2613V has slightly larger dimensions: length 0.126" (3.20mm) versus 0.122" (3.10mm) for YAGEO parts, and seated height 0.028" (0.70mm) versus 0.026" (0.65mm). These differences remain within 1206 package class tolerances. PCB footprint compatibility should be verified for space-constrained layouts.

Q: When should ERA-8AEB2613V be selected over YAGEO alternatives?

A: ERA-8AEB2613V is the appropriate choice for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. This certification demonstrates compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. For non-automotive applications, YAGEO parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07261KL, RT1206BRD07261KL, and ERA-8AEB2613V all carry ROHS3 compliance certification, confirming restriction of hazardous substances per applicable regulations.

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

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum allowable deviation from the nominal 261 kOhms resistance value. ±1% allows deviation up to ±2.61 kOhms, while ±0.1% limits deviation to ±0.261 kOhms. Applications requiring precise resistance values benefit from the tighter ±0.1% tolerance of substitute parts.
