Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07294RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 294 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% or better (tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum coverage
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH requirements maintained

The ERA-8AEB2940V qualifies as a direct substitute by meeting all mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB2940V serves as a qualified substitute for the RT1206FRE07294RL in applications where component interchangeability is required. Both parts maintain identical resistance values, power ratings, and package specifications. The ERA-8AEB2940V provides enhanced performance through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). The Panasonic part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the RT1206FRE07294RL is appropriate for general-purpose applications, while the ERA-8AEB2940V is specified for applications demanding superior tolerance control and automotive-grade reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB2940V replace the RT1206FRE07294RL in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance values (294 Ohms), power ratings (0.25W), package formats (1206), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2940V is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute.

Q: What are the key differences between these two resistors?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), and certifications (AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the ERA-8AEB2940V). Both maintain identical physical dimensions and electrical performance at nominal resistance.

Q: Are there any dimensional compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format with compatible footprints. Dimensional variations (length 3.10mm versus 3.20mm, height 0.65mm versus 0.70mm) fall within standard PCB design tolerances for 1206 components.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB2940V is specified for automotive applications due to AEC-Q200 certification. The RT1206FRE07294RL is suitable for general-purpose and non-automotive applications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE07294RL and ERA-8AEB2940V are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
