Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 2.87 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum

Tolerance Enhancement: Substitute parts RT1206BRD072K87L, ERA-8AEB2871V, and RG3216P-2871-B-T5 offer ±0.1% tolerance, providing improved precision over the ±1% specification of the main part.

Temperature Coefficient Improvement: Substitute parts feature ±25ppm/°C compared to the main part's ±50ppm/°C, resulting in better stability across temperature variations.

Automotive Qualification: ERA-8AEB2871V and RG3216P-2871-B-T5 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RG3216P-2871-B-T5 additionally includes anti-sulfur protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD072K87L (YAGEO): Direct upgrade within the same manufacturer series. Provides ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with significantly higher inventory availability (12,727 units). Maintains standard industrial compliance without automotive qualification. Suitable for precision applications requiring improved tolerance without automotive requirements.

ERA-8AEB2871V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Introduces automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Appropriate for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring third-party automotive validation. Inventory of 5,727 units supports production requirements.

RG3216P-2871-B-T5 (Susumu): Combines AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur protection and ±0.1% tolerance. Lowest profile height (0.020" vs. 0.026" for main part) may provide mechanical advantages in space-constrained designs. Inventory of 6,072 units available. Suitable for harsh automotive environments or applications requiring sulfur resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD072K87L be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE072K87L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, package format, and operating temperature range. The substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and better temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C), making it a functional upgrade suitable for any application accepting the original part.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-grade substitutes?

A: ERA-8AEB2871V and RG3216P-2871-B-T5 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and environmental stress testing standards. These parts are required for automotive applications or systems with equivalent reliability demands. RT1206BRD072K87L lacks automotive qualification and is suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

Q: Does RG3216P-2871-B-T5 anti-sulfur protection affect electrical performance?

A: Anti-sulfur protection is a material enhancement that prevents sulfur-induced corrosion on component surfaces, particularly in high-sulfur environments. It does not alter the electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient) of the component.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor variations exist. ERA-8AEB2871V and RG3216P-2871-B-T5 have slightly larger length dimensions (0.126" vs. 0.122") and height variations (0.028" and 0.020" respectively vs. 0.026" for the main part). These differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances but should be verified for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RT1206BRD072K87L provides the highest inventory level at 12,727 units, followed by RG3216P-2871-B-T5 (6,072 units) and ERA-8AEB2871V (5,727 units). Selection should balance availability with application-specific requirements for tolerance, temperature stability, and automotive qualification.
