Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07316RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 316 Ohms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) or higher
• Composition: Thin film technology for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

The ERA-8AEB3160V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it offers enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), it maintains identical resistance value, package format, power rating, and operating temperature range. The substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing additional reliability assurance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB3160V represents a qualified substitute for the RT1206FRE07316RL with performance enhancements. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and handling characteristics. The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability documentation suitable for applications requiring enhanced quality assurance. The improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) of the ERA-8AEB3160V offer tighter performance margins without compromising functional compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements and whether automotive-grade qualification is necessary for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB3160V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206FRE07316RL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (316 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB3160V offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance in the ERA-8AEB3160V compared to the ±1% tolerance in the RT1206FRE07316RL?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable deviation from the nominal resistance value. The ERA-8AEB3160V maintains tighter tolerance, resulting in more precise resistance values across production batches. This is beneficial for applications requiring strict impedance control or precision analog circuits.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 qualification on the ERA-8AEB3160V affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance. Components meeting this standard are suitable for any application, including non-automotive uses, and represent a higher reliability tier.

Q: Are the physical dimensions of both parts identical?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE07316RL measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height, while ERA-8AEB3160V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient, and why does it matter?

A: Temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) measures resistance value change per degree Celsius. The ERA-8AEB3160V exhibits ±25ppm/°C compared to the RT1206FRE07316RL at ±50ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient indicates more stable resistance across temperature variations, beneficial for precision applications operating across wide temperature ranges.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE07316RL and ERA-8AEB3160V are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and handling standards.
