TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 is a thin film chip resistor rated at 261 Ohms with ±0.1% tolerance and 0.25W power rating in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package. This component is part of the RP73P series from Holsworthy and maintains Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are required for design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, or specific application requirements such as automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 261 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating may differ provided the substitute meets or exceeds the application requirement. The main part is rated 0.25W; substitutes with lower power ratings (such as 0.125W) are acceptable only when circuit power dissipation does not exceed the substitute's rating.

The Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V meets all critical parameters with the exception of power rating (0.125W versus 0.25W) and includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification as an additional feature.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice for applications requiring 0.25W power dissipation capacity
• Suitable for general industrial and commercial applications
• Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating support standard manufacturing and storage conditions

Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V Selection Criteria:

• Applicable when circuit power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W
• Required for automotive applications demanding AEC-Q200 qualification
• Active product status with established supply chain
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating equivalent to main part
• Slightly lower maximum seated height (0.024" versus 0.026") may provide design flexibility in space-constrained layouts

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance in resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Selection between them depends on power dissipation requirements and automotive qualification necessity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V replace the TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when circuit power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W. The Panasonic part has a lower power rating (0.125W versus 0.25W). If your application dissipates more than 0.125W across the resistor, the TE Connectivity part must be used.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB layout?

A: Both parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length and width (0.079" L x 0.049" W). The Panasonic part has a slightly lower maximum seated height (0.024" versus 0.026"), which is compatible with standard 0805 footprints and may provide marginal clearance benefits in dense layouts.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. The Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V meets this standard, making it suitable for automotive applications. The TE Connectivity part does not carry this designation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3 and Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, supporting standard manufacturing and storage without special handling.

Q: Do the parts have identical electrical performance?

A: Yes, both parts share identical resistance (261 Ohms), tolerance (±0.1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The only electrical difference is power rating.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Determine your circuit's power dissipation across the resistor. If it exceeds 0.125W, use the TE Connectivity 6-2176091-3. If your application is automotive and power dissipation is below 0.125W, the Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V is the appropriate choice. For non-automotive applications below 0.125W, either part is acceptable.
