Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2-2176091-3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 97.6 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating: Substitute parts may have equal or greater power dissipation capacity. The primary part is rated at 0.25W (1/4W); substitutes with 0.125W (1/8W) or higher ratings are acceptable provided all other parameters remain identical.

The Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore qualified as a direct substitute, despite its lower power rating of 0.125W (1/8W).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2-2176091-3 (Primary Part)

Use this part when the application requires the full 0.25W power dissipation capacity. The component is active, ROHS3 compliant, and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. This part is suitable for general industrial and commercial applications requiring standard thin film resistor performance.

Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V (Substitute Part)

This part is qualified as a direct substitute for applications where power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W. The Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. The component is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. The slightly lower seated height (0.024" versus 0.026") presents no compatibility issues in standard PCB assembly processes. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and thermal performance specifications.

Selection between these parts depends on application power requirements and industry certification needs. The Panasonic part is preferred for automotive applications; the TE Connectivity part is preferred when full 0.25W capacity is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V replace the TE Connectivity 2-2176091-3 in all applications?

A: The Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V is a qualified substitute provided the circuit design does not require power dissipation exceeding 0.125W. All electrical parameters, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics are identical. The lower power rating is the only limiting factor.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance specification?

A: The ±0.1% tolerance indicates precision thin film resistor construction. Both the primary part and substitute maintain this tolerance, ensuring high accuracy in applications requiring tight resistance values. This tolerance is critical for precision analog circuits, measurement equipment, and calibration applications.

Q: Are there any physical compatibility concerns when substituting the Panasonic part?

A: No. Both parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length and width dimensions (0.079" x 0.049"). The Panasonic part has a slightly lower seated height (0.024" versus 0.026"), which presents no assembly or clearance issues in standard PCB designs.

Q: What does the MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Both the primary part and substitute carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related procurement or storage constraints.

Q: Why does the Panasonic part have AEC-Q200 qualification?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. The Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V meets this standard, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring certified component reliability. The TE Connectivity part does not carry this certification.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 2-2176091-3 and Panasonic ERA-6AEB97R6V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification, and why is it important?

A: The ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistance value changes by a maximum of 25 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. Both parts share this specification, ensuring consistent performance across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. This is critical for precision applications and temperature-sensitive circuits.
