FAQs
1. Is the RC1206FR-076M34L suitable for automotive use?
No—it lacks AEC-Q200 certification. For automotive, consider Yageo's AC1206FR-076M34L.
2. What’s the maximum operating voltage?
200V DC (per IEC 60115). Derate by 50% above 70°C.
3. Can it handle surge currents?
No—this is not an anti-surge resistor. For surge protection, use metal oxide variants.
4. Is lead-free/RoHS compliant?
Yes—complies with RoHS 3.0 (per Yageo documentation).
5. How to ensure soldering quality?
Follow IPC-J-STD-020 reflow profile: peak temp 260°C for ≤10 sec.
Future Prospects
With the rise of high-voltage IoT sensors, demand for stable high-resistance SMDs like the RC1206FR-076M34L will grow. Yageo’s roadmap includes TCR improvements (±50ppm/°C) by 2025.
