Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07715KL is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance value: 715 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (required)

Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering limits. Substitute parts identified below meet all mandatory parameters and are qualified for direct replacement in applications where the original part is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206BRD07715KL (YAGEO) is a direct upgrade substitute offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerances without changing board layout or assembly processes.

ERA-8AEB7153V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides equivalent electrical performance to RT1206BRD07715KL with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component certification. Physical dimensions vary slightly (0.126" L x 0.063" W versus 0.122" L x 0.063" W), and maximum seated height is 0.028" versus 0.026", requiring verification of PCB layout clearances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT1206BRD07715KL replace RT1206FRE07715KL in any application?

A: Yes. RT1206BRD07715KL meets all mandatory substitution parameters: identical resistance value, package, power rating, operating temperature range, composition, and compliance certifications. The improved tolerance and temperature coefficient represent performance enhancements with no compatibility concerns.

Q: Is ERA-8AEB7153V suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERA-8AEB7153V meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for the 1206 package category. AEC-Q200 qualification is an additional certification that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. Verify PCB layout clearances due to minor dimensional variations.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between substitute parts?

A: RT1206FRE07715KL and RT1206BRD07715KL share identical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. ERA-8AEB7153V has slightly larger dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. Confirm PCB footprint and clearance specifications before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RT1206FRE07715KL, RT1206BRD07715KL, and ERA-8AEB7153V are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the tolerance difference impact?

A: RT1206FRE07715KL carries ±1% tolerance, while RT1206BRD07715KL and ERA-8AEB7153V carry ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance in substitute parts reduces resistance value variation and improves circuit performance in precision applications. Temperature coefficient is also improved in substitutes (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in better stability across the operating temperature range.
