RT1206FRE072K32L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE072K32L is a 2.32 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation. Manufactured by YAGEO under the RT series, this component is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. Alternative parts may be required due to inventory constraints, application-specific performance requirements, or design optimization needs for enhanced tolerance specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE072K32L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.32 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (physical and electrical compatibility)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thin film (maintains performance characteristics)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory requirement)

The ERA-8AEB2321V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Enhanced tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) represent performance improvements rather than compatibility restrictions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE072K32L and ERA-8AEB2321V are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-8AEB2321V provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements for tolerance precision and environmental qualification status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB2321V replace RT1206FRE072K32L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (2.32 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The ERA-8AEB2321V offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). The ERA-8AEB2321V includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which the RT1206FRE072K32L does not specify.

Q: Are there any package or footprint compatibility concerns?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Dimensional variations (RT1206FRE072K32L: 3.10mm x 1.60mm vs ERA-8AEB2321V: 3.20mm x 1.60mm) are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect footprint compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE072K32L and ERA-8AEB2321V are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
