Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RT1206FRE072RL is permissible when the following criteria are met:

• Resistance value remains 2 Ohms
• Package / Case format is 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating is 0.25W (1/4W) or greater
• Composition is Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient does not exceed ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range encompasses -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance is maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 or equivalent

The RT1206DRE072RL qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary distinction is tolerance specification: the substitute offers ±0.5% tolerance compared to the main part's ±1% tolerance, representing an upgrade in precision while maintaining all other critical specifications.

Parameter Comparison
