Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0780R6L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 80.6 Ohms (exact match)
• Package / Case: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum to meet thermal requirements
• Composition: Thin film construction ensures performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant status required for regulatory alignment

The ERA-8AEB80R6V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. 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 from compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE0780R6L and ERA-8AEB80R6V are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The ERA-8AEB80R6V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: the YAGEO part serves general-purpose applications, while the Panasonic part is specified for automotive and high-reliability environments where tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient provide performance advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB80R6V replace the RT1206FRE0780R6L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The ERA-8AEB80R6V's improved tolerance and temperature coefficient represent performance enhancements compatible with the original specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE0780R6L measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height; ERA-8AEB80R6V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" max height. These differences remain within standard PCB footprint tolerances.

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

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The ERA-8AEB80R6V meets enhanced reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications. This certification is not required for general-purpose applications but is mandatory for automotive-grade designs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE0780R6L and ERA-8AEB80R6V are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
