RT1206FRE07976KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RT1206FRE07976KL is a 976 kOhms ±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 part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent resistance values, package formats, power ratings, and operating temperature ranges are maintained while offering improved performance characteristics such as tighter tolerance specifications or enhanced reliability certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07976KL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 976 kOhms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• Composition: Must be Thin Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must span -55°C to 155°C
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance

The ERA-8AEB9763V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a substitute part. While it offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and enhanced temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an upgrade in reliability certification without compromising compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT1206FRE07976KL and ERA-8AEB9763V are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. The ERA-8AEB9763V provides enhanced performance through tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). The Panasonic part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability standards.

Selection between these parts depends on application requirements. The RT1206FRE07976KL is suitable for general-purpose applications where ±1% tolerance is acceptable. The ERA-8AEB9763V is appropriate for precision circuits, automotive applications, or designs requiring enhanced temperature stability and tighter tolerance control.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB9763V be used as a direct replacement for RT1206FRE07976KL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (976 kOhms), package format (1206), power rating (0.25W), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB9763V offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient performance without affecting mechanical or electrical compatibility.

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

A: The RT1206FRE07976KL has ±1% tolerance, while the ERA-8AEB9763V has ±0.1% tolerance. This means the Panasonic part maintains resistance values within a tighter range, beneficial for precision analog circuits and signal conditioning applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for passive component reliability. The ERA-8AEB9763V meets this qualification, indicating it has been tested and validated for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability and temperature cycling performance.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RT1206FRE07976KL measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. The ERA-8AEB9763V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These differences are within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 package components.
