RT1206FRE07887RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07887RL is a 887 Ohm ±1% thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The component is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), making it suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing supply chain continuity, optimizing procurement costs, or addressing specific application requirements such as enhanced tolerance specifications or automotive-grade reliability certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07887RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 887 Ohms
• 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 maintains electrical performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required for regulatory alignment

The ERA-8AEB8870V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. This Panasonic component offers enhanced specifications including tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification, while maintaining identical resistance value, package format, power rating, and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB8870V represents a qualified upgrade path from the RT1206FRE07887RL. Both components maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance. The Panasonic substitute provides superior tolerance performance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision or automotive-grade reliability. The tighter temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) further improves stability across the operating temperature range. Physical dimensions remain compatible with existing PCB layouts, with negligible variations in length (3.20mm versus 3.10mm) and height (0.70mm versus 0.65mm) that do not impact standard 1206 footprint designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB8870V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206FRE07887RL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (887 Ohms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB8870V meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two resistors?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), and automotive certification (AEC-Q200 for the Panasonic part only). The Panasonic component delivers tighter tolerance and improved temperature stability.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?

A: No significant layout changes are required. Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with compatible footprints. Minor dimensional variations (length: 3.10mm to 3.20mm; height: 0.65mm to 0.70mm) fall within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect placement or routing.

Q: Does the ERA-8AEB8870V require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. Both components carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB8870V is the appropriate choice for automotive applications due to its AEC-Q200 certification. The RT1206FRE07887RL lacks automotive qualification and is suitable for standard industrial and commercial use.
