Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE072K26L is determined by the following core parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.26 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (maintains electrical characteristics)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The ERA-8AEB2261V qualifies as a substitute because it matches all core parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade certification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE072K26L and ERA-8AEB2261V are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory status (REACH Unaffected, ECCN EAR99). The ERA-8AEB2261V offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for precision applications. The ERA-8AEB2261V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which may be required for automotive or high-reliability applications. Selection between these parts should be based on application tolerance requirements and any automotive qualification mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2261V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE072K26L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (2.26 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The ERA-8AEB2261V provides enhanced specifications with tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: RT1206FRE072K26L dimensions are 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). ERA-8AEB2261V dimensions are 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). Both fit the 1206 package specification; verify PCB layout clearance for the slightly larger ERA-8AEB2261V.

Q: Does the tighter tolerance of ERA-8AEB2261V affect circuit performance?

A: Tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) reduces resistor value variation, which improves circuit accuracy in precision applications. This is a performance enhancement, not a compatibility issue.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB2261V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RT1206FRE072K26L does not specify automotive qualification. For automotive applications, ERA-8AEB2261V is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
