Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 374 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts rated at 0.125W (1/8W) are acceptable as they represent a derating from the original 0.25W specification. Lower power ratings do not compromise functionality in applications designed for the original part's power envelope.

Additional Qualifications:

• Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is an enhancement feature that does not preclude substitution in non-automotive applications.
• Anti-Sulfur coating is an enhancement feature that provides additional environmental protection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7): Select the original TE Connectivity part when the application requires 0.25W (1/4W) power dissipation capability and no automotive qualification is mandated. This part maintains Active product status with established supply chain availability.

Substitute Selection - Panasonic ERA-6AEB3740V: The Panasonic ERA-6AEB3740V is suitable for applications where AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is required and power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W (1/8W). This part is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status and maintains identical electrical specifications for resistance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient.

Substitute Selection - Susumi RG2012P-3740-B-T5: The Susumi RG2012P-3740-B-T5 is suitable for applications requiring both AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur environmental protection, with power dissipation not exceeding 0.125W (1/8W). This part is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status and offers the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), providing advantages in space-constrained PCB layouts.

All three parts share identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and MSL rating. Selection between substitutes depends on power rating requirements and automotive/environmental qualification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic ERA-6AEB3740V or Susumi RG2012P-3740-B-T5 be used as direct replacements for the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7?

A: Yes, both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7 for applications where power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W (1/8W). The substitute parts are rated at 1/8W compared to the original 1/4W rating. If your circuit design requires the full 0.25W power capability, the original TE Connectivity part must be used.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7 is rated at 0.25W (1/4W), while both substitute parts are rated at 0.125W (1/8W). A lower power rating indicates reduced power dissipation capability. Substitution is valid only when the actual power dissipation in your application remains below 0.125W. If your design requires higher power dissipation, the original part is required.

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

A: All three parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length and width dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). The seated heights differ slightly: TE Connectivity at 0.026" (0.65mm), Panasonic at 0.024" (0.60mm), and Susumi at 0.020" (0.50mm). These height variations are within typical PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. The Panasonic ERA-6AEB3740V and Susumi RG2012P-3740-B-T5 both carry this certification, making them suitable for automotive applications. The TE Connectivity 7-2176091-7 does not specify AEC-Q200 qualification. If your application requires automotive-grade components, select either substitute part.

Q: What is the anti-sulfur feature on the Susumi part?

A: The Susumi RG2012P-3740-B-T5 includes anti-sulfur coating, which provides enhanced protection against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. This feature is beneficial in industrial or harsh environments but is not required for standard applications. The anti-sulfur feature does not affect electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts are ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity part lists RoHS status as ROHS3 Compliant. Both substitute parts are also ROHS3 compliant. The Panasonic part has REACH Unaffected status, and the Susumi part has REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Can I use the substitute parts in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the Panasonic and Susumi parts does not restrict their use to automotive applications. These parts are suitable for any application where the electrical and mechanical specifications match your requirements. Automotive qualification represents an additional quality standard that does not preclude use in other industries.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and why is it important?

A: All three parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), which means they have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling. This is the least restrictive moisture sensitivity rating and simplifies inventory management and component handling.
