Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT1206FRE079K76L are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical Resistance Value: 9.76 kOhms (exact match required)
• Equal or Superior Tolerance: ±1% or better (±0.1% acceptable as upgrade)
• Identical Power Rating: 0.25W minimum
• Identical Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Identical Composition: Thin film construction
• Compatible Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C or wider
• Equivalent or Superior Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: ERA-8AEB9761V (Panasonic) and RG3216P-9761-B-T5 (Susumu). Both offer improved tolerance specifications (±0.1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT1206FRE079K76L (YAGEO) is suitable for general-purpose applications where standard ±1% tolerance and basic compliance requirements are sufficient. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance ensure availability and regulatory conformance.

ERA-8AEB9761V (Panasonic) provides improved tolerance (±0.1%) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification. Temperature coefficient is reduced to ±25ppm/°C, offering superior stability. Recommended for applications requiring enhanced precision or automotive-qualified components.

RG3216P-9761-B-T5 (Susumu) combines ±0.1% tolerance, AEC-Q200 certification, and anti-sulfur protection. Temperature coefficient matches ERA-8AEB9761V at ±25ppm/°C. Recommended for harsh environments or applications requiring corrosion resistance in addition to automotive qualification.

All three parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility and core electrical performance within the 1206 package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8AEB9761V or RG3216P-9761-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for RT1206FRE079K76L?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. They share identical resistance values, power ratings, package dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The improved tolerance and automotive certifications represent enhancements rather than deviations from the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between ±1% and ±0.1% tolerance?

A: Tolerance defines the maximum deviation from the nominal resistance value. ±1% allows deviation up to ±97.6 Ohms from 9.76 kOhms. ±0.1% restricts deviation to ±9.76 Ohms. Applications requiring tighter resistance control benefit from ±0.1% parts.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: The package classification (1206) is identical. Minor dimensional variations exist: RT1206FRE079K76L measures 3.10mm × 1.60mm with 0.65mm maximum height; both substitutes measure 3.20mm × 1.60mm. RG3216P-9761-B-T5 has 0.50mm maximum height versus 0.70mm for ERA-8AEB9761V. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. It certifies that components meet reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications, including thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity resistance testing.

Q: Why does RG3216P-9761-B-T5 include anti-sulfur protection?

A: Anti-sulfur protection prevents corrosion from atmospheric sulfur compounds, extending component lifespan in industrial or corrosive environments. This feature is optional for general applications but beneficial in harsh conditions.

Q: Can these parts be mixed on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the specified parameters. Mixed usage is permissible from a technical standpoint, though design documentation should reflect the actual part used in each location.
