Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE076K65L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 6.65 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) or higher
• Composition: Thin film construction for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required

The ERA-8AEB6651V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute. While it offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations. The part maintains identical resistance value, package format, power rating, and operating temperature range, with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB6651V represents a qualified substitute for the RT1206FRE076K65L with enhanced specifications. Both components maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The Panasonic part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The improved tolerance and lower temperature coefficient of the ERA-8AEB6651V make it suitable for precision applications where the original part's ±1% tolerance may be marginal. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements, supply availability, and cost considerations rather than functional compatibility constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB6651V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206FRE076K65L on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format with identical footprint requirements. Physical dimensions are comparable (RT1206FRE076K65L: 3.10mm × 1.60mm; ERA-8AEB6651V: 3.20mm × 1.60mm), with negligible height differences (0.65mm versus 0.70mm maximum seated height). PCB layout compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the tolerance differences between these parts?

A: The RT1206FRE076K65L carries ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB6651V offers ±0.1% tolerance. This represents a tenfold improvement in tolerance specification. For applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy, the ERA-8AEB6651V is the superior choice.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both components operate across the -55°C ~ 155°C temperature range. However, the ERA-8AEB6651V exhibits superior temperature stability with ±25ppm/°C coefficient compared to the RT1206FRE076K65L's ±50ppm/°C coefficient.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Panasonic part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification. The ERA-8AEB6651V's AEC-Q200 rating indicates compliance with automotive reliability and quality requirements. This certification is beneficial for applications in automotive, industrial, or mission-critical environments, though not required for general commercial applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE076K65L and ERA-8AEB6651V are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.
