Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07280KL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 280 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The ERA-8AEB2803V qualifies as a direct substitute because it matches all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification. The improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) and tighter tolerance provide superior performance characteristics within the same physical footprint and electrical operating envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07280KL and ERA-8AEB2803V are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making them suitable for standard and automotive applications respectively.

The RT1206FRE07280KL serves general-purpose applications where standard tolerance (±1%) and performance specifications are acceptable.

The ERA-8AEB2803V is the preferred selection for applications requiring enhanced precision, automotive-grade reliability, or environments where tighter tolerance control and lower temperature coefficient drift are critical. The AEC-Q200 qualification ensures suitability for automotive and high-reliability applications. The ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient provide superior stability compared to the primary part.

Both components are pin-compatible and footprint-compatible, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2803V replace RT1206FRE07280KL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (280 kOhms), package (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2803V is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute with enhanced specifications.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The RT1206FRE07280KL has ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB2803V has ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the ERA-8AEB2803V provides greater precision in resistance value, beneficial for precision analog circuits and measurement applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE07280KL and ERA-8AEB2803V are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive-grade reliability standard. The ERA-8AEB2803V meets this qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications and high-reliability environments requiring enhanced quality assurance and failure rate specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions and two terminations, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modifications.
