Yageo's RC1206FR-072R4L is a common 1206, 2.4Ω ±1% 0.25W resistor. While no exact drop-in replacements are verified, several parametric alternatives exist with minor differences in TCR, resistance, or tolerance that may be suitable after engineering review.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

TCR, resistance, and tolerance variations require analysis.

Package risklow

All candidates share the same 1206 package.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple vendors offer similar parts in this category.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, verified drop-in replacement is currently identified. All suggested alternatives have parametric differences requiring engineering evaluation.

Best replacement path

Consider RS-06L2R40FT for its close parametric match, but verify its slightly higher TCR is acceptable. If resistance can vary, RC1206FR-7W2R2L offers a power upgrade.

Main risk

The main risk is substituting with a part that has a different Temperature Coefficient (TCR) or resistance value, which can affect circuit performance and stability.

Application & sourcing insights

Questions & answers

The best alternative depends on your application's tolerance for parametric changes. RS-06L2R40FT matches key specs but has a slightly higher TCR (±250ppm/°C). If a resistance of 2.2Ω is acceptable, RC1206FR-7W2R2L is a strong option with an upgraded power rating.
