Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE07604KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Resistance Value: Exact match at 604 kOhms
• Package Compatibility: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor with compatible footprint dimensions
• Power Rating: Minimum 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin film construction
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C ~ 155°C coverage
• Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance maintained

Substitutes may feature improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), representing performance upgrades while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07604KL (YAGEO): Direct upgrade path offering improved tolerance specification (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package footprint and power rating. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without automotive qualification requirements.

ERA-8AEB6043V (Panasonic): Functionally equivalent with identical electrical performance to RT1206BRD07604KL, additionally qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standard. Recommended for automotive and high-reliability applications where AEC-Q200 certification is specified or required.

Both substitute parts maintain full ROHS3 and REACH compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07604KL directly replace RT1206FRE07604KL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 1206 package dimensions, 604 kOhms resistance, 0.25W power rating, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. RT1206BRD07604KL provides superior tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C).

Q: What is the difference between RT1206BRD07604KL and ERA-8AEB6043V?

A: Electrical and thermal specifications are identical. ERA-8AEB6043V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification; RT1206BRD07604KL does not. Physical dimensions differ slightly: ERA-8AEB6043V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" max height, while RT1206BRD07604KL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. Both fit standard 1206 footprints.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07604KL, RT1206BRD07604KL, and ERA-8AEB6043V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: Which substitute should I select for automotive applications?

A: ERA-8AEB6043V is the appropriate selection for automotive applications due to AEC-Q200 qualification. For non-automotive applications, RT1206BRD07604KL provides equivalent performance at potentially lower cost.

Q: Do package dimension differences affect PCB compatibility?

A: Both substitute parts are 1206 package format and mount to standard 1206 footprints. Minor dimensional variations (0.122" vs 0.126" length, 0.026" vs 0.028" height) do not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.
