Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0788K7L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 88.7 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be ≥0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Thin film construction required for performance consistency
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance required

The ERA-8AEB8872V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations. The substitute maintains identical resistance value, package format, power rating, and operating temperature range, with equivalent RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB8872V qualifies as a direct substitute for the RT1206FRE0788K7L based on matching electrical specifications, identical package format, and equivalent compliance certifications. The Panasonic component carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Both parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements and supply availability. The ERA-8AEB8872V offers tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient, making it suitable for precision applications. The RT1206FRE0788K7L remains appropriate for general-purpose applications where ±1% tolerance is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB8872V replace the RT1206FRE0788K7L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (88.7 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). PCB footprint compatibility is guaranteed.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: The RT1206FRE0788K7L has ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB8872V has ±0.1% tolerance. The Panasonic part provides tighter tolerance, which may benefit precision analog circuits or measurement applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE0788K7L and ERA-8AEB8872V are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The ERA-8AEB8872V carries this certification, indicating it meets automotive industry reliability and quality requirements. This does not prevent use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Slight dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE0788K7L measures 3.10mm L × 1.60mm W with 0.65mm max height; ERA-8AEB8872V measures 3.20mm L × 1.60mm W with 0.70mm max height. These differences remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.
