Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT1206FRE07976RL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 976 Ohms
• Package Format: Must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• 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-8AEB9760V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. This part offers enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, representing an upgrade path for applications requiring tighter tolerance specifications or automotive-grade reliability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-8AEB9760V represents a qualified upgrade substitute for the RT1206FRE07976RL. Both components maintain identical resistance values, package formats, power ratings, and operating temperature ranges. The ERA-8AEB9760V provides superior tolerance performance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision or automotive-grade reliability. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these components should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements and whether automotive-grade certification is necessary for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-8AEB9760V be used as a direct replacement for the RT1206FRE07976RL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values (976 Ohms), package formats (1206), power ratings (0.25W), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-8AEB9760V is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two resistors?

A: The ERA-8AEB9760V offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification. The ERA-8AEB9760V also features a lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), resulting in improved stability across temperature variations.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences that would affect PCB layout?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE07976RL measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W with 0.026" maximum seated height, while ERA-8AEB9760V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W with 0.028" maximum seated height. These differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not require PCB layout modifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RT1206FRE07976RL and ERA-8AEB9760V are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.

Q: When should I select the ERA-8AEB9760V over the RT1206FRE07976RL?

A: Select the ERA-8AEB9760V when your application requires tolerance specifications tighter than ±1%, when automotive-grade reliability certification is mandated, or when improved temperature stability (lower temperature coefficient) is necessary for circuit performance.
