RT1206FRE07787KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07787KL is a 787 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by YAGEO. This thin film resistor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring moderate tolerance and standard operating temperature range. The part is currently in active production status with 1004 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical or superior electrical characteristics while preserving mechanical compatibility with the 1206 package footprint and maintaining compliance with applicable standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07787KL is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 787 kOhms
• Equal or superior tolerance: ±1% or better
• Equal or superior power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thin Film
• Compatible operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Equivalent or superior compliance status: ROHS3 Compliant

The ERA-8AEB7873V meets all substitution criteria with enhanced specifications in tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07787KL and ERA-8AEB7873V are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-8AEB7873V provides enhanced tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or automotive-grade reliability. Selection between these parts should be based on application tolerance requirements and whether automotive qualification is necessary for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB7873V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE07787KL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (787 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB7873V features superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive qualification, making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for direct substitution.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. RT1206FRE07787KL measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. ERA-8AEB7873V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. Both fit the 1206 package footprint; verify PCB layout tolerances for applications with tight spacing constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance in ERA-8AEB7873V compared to ±1% in RT1206FRE07787KL?

A: The ERA-8AEB7873V tolerance of ±0.1% provides tighter resistance value control, resulting in a maximum deviation of ±0.787 kOhms from the nominal 787 kOhms value. The RT1206FRE07787KL tolerance of ±1% allows maximum deviation of ±7.87 kOhms. Applications requiring precision analog circuits, reference networks, or tight gain control benefit from the superior tolerance specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB7873V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RT1206FRE07787KL does not specify automotive qualification. For automotive applications, ERA-8AEB7873V is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts have identical compliance certifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Both carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
