RT1206FRE072K2L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE072K2L is a 2.2 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W power dissipation. This YAGEO component operates across -55°C to 155°C and maintains ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The part is currently active in production with 2360 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to address specific application requirements including tighter tolerance specifications, enhanced automotive qualification, or alternative packaging configurations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by three core criteria: resistance value (2.2 kOhms), package format (1206/3216 Metric), and power rating (0.25W). All identified substitutes maintain these three parameters identically to the main part.

Secondary parameters that differentiate substitute parts include tolerance specification, temperature coefficient, and special features. Tolerance can be tightened from ±1% to ±0.1% or ±0.5% without affecting mechanical or electrical compatibility. Temperature coefficient improvements from ±50ppm/°C to ±25ppm/°C represent enhanced stability. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and anti-sulfur features are additive characteristics that do not prevent substitution in non-automotive applications.

Packaging format variations (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) affect supply chain logistics but do not impact component functionality or PCB assembly compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance identical to the main part RT1206FRE072K2L. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

For applications requiring standard tolerance (±1%), the RT1206FRE072K2L remains the baseline reference. The RT1206BRD072K2L upgrade offers tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) while maintaining YAGEO manufacturing and Cut Tape packaging.

For applications requiring automotive qualification, ERA-8AEB222V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-2201-B-T5 (Susumu) both provide AEC-Q200 certification with ±0.1% tolerance. The Susumu RG3216P-2201-B-T5 additionally includes anti-sulfur protection suitable for harsh environmental exposure.

For high-volume production requiring Tape & Reel packaging, RT1206DRE072K2L, ERA-8AEB222V, RG3216P-2201-B-T5, and RG3216P-2201-D-T5 are available. The Susumu variants offer the lowest seated height (0.020" vs. 0.026"-0.028"), which may be advantageous for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD072K2L replace RT1206FRE072K2L directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 1206 package dimensions, footprint, and electrical ratings (2.2 kOhms, 0.25W). The RT1206BRD072K2L provides superior tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct upgrade with no layout modifications required.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) are supply chain formats that do not affect component performance or PCB assembly. Cut Tape is suitable for smaller quantities and manual handling. Tape & Reel is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production. Component specifications remain identical.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q200) usable in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification represents additional qualification testing and reliability assurance. Parts meeting automotive standards are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and provide equivalent or superior performance characteristics.

Q: Does the anti-sulfur feature of Susumu RG3216P parts affect general-purpose applications?

A: No. Anti-sulfur protection is an additive feature that prevents corrosion in sulfur-rich environments. In standard operating conditions, this feature does not impact electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: What tolerance should I select for my application?

A: Tolerance selection depends on circuit requirements. ±1% tolerance (RT1206FRE072K2L) is suitable for general-purpose applications. ±0.5% tolerance (RT1206DRE072K2L, RG3216P-2201-D-T5) is appropriate for moderate precision circuits. ±0.1% tolerance (RT1206BRD072K2L, ERA-8AEB222V, RG3216P-2201-B-T5) is required for precision analog circuits and reference networks.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same production batch?

A: All listed substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible. However, for consistency in circuit performance and traceability, using a single part number per design is recommended.
