Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE074K87L is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 4.87 kOhms (exact match)
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) with compatible footprint dimensions
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Thin film construction required for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to +155°C minimum
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance required

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1 - Enhanced Tolerance (Tighter Specifications)

• RT1206BRD074K87L (±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C)
• ERA-8AEB4871V (±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C, AEC-Q200 automotive qualified)

Category 2 - Intermediate Tolerance

• RT1206DRE074K87L (±0.5% tolerance, ±50ppm/°C)

All substitute parts maintain identical resistance value, package format, power rating, and environmental compliance as the primary part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD074K87L is suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control (±0.1% vs ±1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining YAGEO supply chain continuity. This part is a direct upgrade in precision specifications.

RT1206DRE074K87L provides intermediate tolerance improvement (±0.5%) with the same temperature coefficient as the primary part. This option is appropriate when enhanced tolerance is beneficial but not critical, and offers the highest inventory availability (6014 units).

ERA-8AEB4871V is specified for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability under AEC-Q200 qualification. This Panasonic component delivers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient with automotive-level quality assurance. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.126" L vs 0.122" L; 0.028" H vs 0.026" H), requiring PCB footprint verification before implementation.

All substitute parts maintain full RoHS3 and REACH compliance with MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD074K87L be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE074K87L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (4.87 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to +155°C). RT1206BRD074K87L offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it a compatible upgrade with enhanced performance.

Q: What is the difference between RT1206DRE074K87L and RT1206BRD074K87L?

A: Both are YAGEO thin film resistors with 4.87 kOhms resistance in 1206 package. RT1206DRE074K87L has ±0.5% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while RT1206BRD074K87L has ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. RT1206BRD074K87L provides superior precision and stability.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB4871V compatible with standard PCB layouts designed for RT1206FRE074K87L?

A: ERA-8AEB4871V is mechanically compatible with 1206 footprints but has slightly larger physical dimensions (0.126" L × 0.063" W × 0.028" H vs 0.122" L × 0.063" W × 0.026" H). Verify PCB layout clearances and solder pad dimensions before implementation. The component is electrically equivalent with identical resistance, power rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: When should ERA-8AEB4871V be selected over YAGEO alternatives?

A: ERA-8AEB4871V is specified for applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This certification is mandatory for automotive-grade circuits and applications subject to automotive reliability standards. For non-automotive applications, YAGEO parts (RT1206BRD074K87L or RT1206DRE074K87L) are appropriate.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE074K87L, RT1206BRD074K87L, RT1206DRE074K87L, and ERA-8AEB4871V are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for standard manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these resistors?

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.
