RT1206FRE0788R7L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE0788R7L is a 1206 (3216 Metric) thin film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO, rated at 88.7 Ohms with ±1% tolerance and 0.25W power dissipation. This component is in active production status and widely used in general-purpose electronic applications requiring precision resistive elements. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements necessitate enhanced specifications such as improved tolerance or automotive-grade qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE0788R7L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 88.7 Ohms (exact match)
• Package Type: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be ≥0.25W to meet or exceed thermal requirements
• Composition: Thin film construction ensures consistent performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required for regulatory alignment

The ERA-8AEB88R7V qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it offers enhanced specifications (±0.1% tolerance versus ±1%, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification), it maintains full compatibility with the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE0788R7L and ERA-8AEB88R7V are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, making them suitable for standard industrial applications.

The ERA-8AEB88R7V provides enhanced precision (±0.1% tolerance versus ±1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements: the YAGEO part is appropriate for general-purpose circuits where standard tolerance is acceptable, while the Panasonic part is preferred for precision analog circuits, automotive systems, or applications requiring tighter tolerance control and enhanced reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB88R7V replace the RT1206FRE0788R7L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (88.7 Ohms), package type (1206), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB88R7V is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute.

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

A: The RT1206FRE0788R7L has ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB88R7V has ±0.1% tolerance. The Panasonic part provides tighter tolerance control, beneficial for precision applications.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect substitution?

A: The ERA-8AEB88R7V has a lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in better stability across the operating temperature range. This is an improvement over the original part and does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-8AEB88R7V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RT1206FRE0788R7L does not specify automotive qualification and is suitable for general industrial use.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these components?

A: Both use the 1206 package. The RT1206FRE0788R7L has dimensions of 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm), while the ERA-8AEB88R7V is 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm). The length difference is minimal and does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard 1206 footprints.
