RT1206FRE07357RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07357RL is a 357 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. This surface mount device delivers 0.25W power dissipation with ±1% tolerance and operates across the -55°C to 155°C temperature range. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternatives with improved tolerance specifications or enhanced automotive qualification where circuit requirements permit.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07357RL is determined by the following mandatory parameters: identical resistance value (357 Ohms), compatible package format (1206/3216 Metric), matching power rating (0.25W), and thin film composition. Tolerance, temperature coefficient, and automotive qualification are secondary parameters that define upgrade or application-specific alternatives.

Two substitute parts meet these core criteria:

RT1206BRD07357RL (YAGEO) – Direct upgrade with improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Maintains identical package, power rating, and operating temperature range.

ERA-8AEB3570V (Panasonic Electronic Components) – Equivalent with ±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Package dimensions vary slightly (3.20mm L vs 3.10mm L; 0.70mm H vs 0.65mm H maximum seated height).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07357RL is the preferred direct substitute when tolerance and temperature stability improvements are required within the same manufacturer ecosystem. Both YAGEO parts maintain identical package footprints and mechanical compatibility.

ERA-8AEB3570V is selected for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability (AEC-Q200 qualification). Physical dimensions differ slightly; verify PCB layout clearances before substitution. The improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) provide enhanced performance stability across the operating temperature range.

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and identical electrical operating ranges, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07357RL replace RT1206FRE07357RL directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprints, power ratings, and operating temperature ranges. The RT1206BRD07357RL offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) with no mechanical or electrical incompatibilities.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB3570V mechanically compatible with the original RT1206FRE07357RL?

A: ERA-8AEB3570V uses the 1206 (3216 Metric) package but with slightly different dimensions: length 3.20mm (vs 3.10mm) and maximum seated height 0.70mm (vs 0.65mm). Verify PCB layout and component clearances before substitution. Electrical performance and operating temperature range are fully compatible.

Q: What is the primary advantage of substituting to ERA-8AEB3570V?

A: AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides enhanced reliability for automotive and harsh-environment applications. The ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient also deliver superior precision and stability compared to the original ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C coefficient.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07357RL, RT1206BRD07357RL, and ERA-8AEB3570V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), ensuring regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-precision circuits?

A: RT1206BRD07357RL and ERA-8AEB3570V are suitable for high-precision applications due to their ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. RT1206FRE07357RL with ±1% tolerance is appropriate for general-purpose applications where tighter tolerance is not required.
