RT1206FRE07590KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07590KL is a 590 kOhms ±1% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.25W power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when electrical parameters (resistance value, power rating, package) and mechanical dimensions remain compatible, while tolerance, temperature coefficient, or application-specific certifications may be enhanced.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07590KL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 590 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum
• Composition: Must be Thin Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 status

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical requirements. Enhanced specifications such as improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive certifications (AEC-Q200) represent upgrades that maintain full compatibility while providing superior performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206FRE07590KL (YAGEO): Select this part for general-purpose applications where standard tolerance (±1%) and baseline performance specifications are acceptable. Active product status ensures continued availability.

ERA-8AEB5903V (Panasonic): This substitute provides improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). AEC-Q200 automotive qualification makes this part suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

RG3216P-5903-B-T5 (Susumu): This substitute combines AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur protection and improved tolerance (±0.1%). The reduced maximum seated height (0.020" versus 0.026") may provide advantages in space-constrained designs. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB5903V or RG3216P-5903-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for RT1206FRE07590KL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (590 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications of the substitutes are backward-compatible with applications designed for the original part.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on the substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. Parts bearing this certification have undergone additional reliability testing and are approved for automotive applications. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: How do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: The RT1206FRE07590KL carries ±1% tolerance, while both substitutes carry ±0.1% tolerance. In circuits where precise resistance values are critical, the tighter tolerance of the substitute parts reduces component-to-component variation and improves overall circuit accuracy.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: All three parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. The RT1206FRE07590KL has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm), while both substitutes have a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm), except RG3216P-5903-B-T5 which is 0.020" (0.50mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: What does anti-sulfur protection on RG3216P-5903-B-T5 provide?

A: Anti-sulfur protection is a material treatment that prevents sulfur-induced corrosion of component terminations in high-sulfur environments. This feature is beneficial for applications exposed to industrial or marine atmospheres but does not affect electrical performance in standard environments.
