RT1206FRE07487RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07487RL is a 487 Ohm ±1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This component is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when mechanical compatibility, electrical performance within tolerance specifications, and package standardization allow direct functional replacement in circuit applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE07487RL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 487 Ohms
• Equal or superior tolerance: ±1% or better (±0.1%)
• Equal or greater power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Compatible operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Identical or superior environmental compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical or superior moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The substitute parts identified—ERA-8AEB4870V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-4870-B-T5 (Susumu)—meet or exceed all these parameters. Both offer improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification, making them suitable direct replacements in applications where the original specification is met or exceeded.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RT1206FRE07487RL remains the baseline specification. Both substitute parts provide enhanced performance characteristics:

ERA-8AEB4870V (Panasonic Electronic Components) offers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher precision and automotive-grade reliability.

RG3216P-4870-B-T5 (Susumu) provides the same tolerance improvement (±0.1%), automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, and includes anti-sulfur protection. The lower maximum seated height (0.020" versus 0.026") may provide advantages in space-constrained PCB layouts. This part is suitable for automotive and harsh environment applications.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application requirements: standard industrial use supports the original YAGEO part; automotive or precision applications support either Panasonic or Susumu alternatives based on environmental and space constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB4870V or RG3216P-4870-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for RT1206FRE07487RL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (487 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute parts offer equal or superior tolerance and compliance specifications.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between the main part and substitutes?

A: The RT1206FRE07487RL has ±1% tolerance. Both ERA-8AEB4870V and RG3216P-4870-B-T5 have ±0.1% tolerance, representing a tenfold improvement in precision.

Q: Are there physical size differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RT1206FRE07487RL measures 3.10mm x 1.60mm with 0.65mm maximum height. The Panasonic and Susumu parts measure 3.20mm x 1.60mm. The Susumu part has the lowest profile at 0.50mm maximum height. These variations are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive electronics qualification standard. Both substitute parts meet this standard, indicating suitability for automotive applications with enhanced reliability requirements. The original YAGEO part does not carry this specification.

Q: What is the significance of anti-sulfur protection on the Susumu part?

A: Anti-sulfur protection (RG3216P-4870-B-T5) provides enhanced resistance to sulfur-containing environments, which can degrade standard thin film resistors. This feature is beneficial in industrial and harsh environment applications.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes, provided the application circuit design accepts the tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications of each part. The ±0.1% tolerance of the substitute parts is superior to the ±1% specification of the original part.
