Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (383 Ohms), tolerance (±0.1%), and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) must match exactly to ensure circuit performance equivalence.

Package Compatibility: The 0805 (2012 Metric) package designation is mandatory for mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Thermal Characteristics: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) and power rating must support the intended application environment.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are baseline requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.

Power Dissipation: While the primary part is rated at 0.25W, substitute parts with equal or greater power ratings maintain functional equivalence in standard applications. A substitute rated at 0.125W (1/8W) operates within acceptable parameters when circuit current demands do not exceed the substitute's power specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The TE Connectivity 7-2176091-8 remains the specified component for applications requiring the full 0.25W power rating and RP73P series designation.

Substitute Part Eligibility: The Panasonic ERA-6AEB3830V (AEC-Q200 rated) serves as a direct electrical substitute when circuit power dissipation requirements do not exceed 0.125W. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. The 0.001" (0.05mm) difference in seated height is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance.

Automotive Applications: The Panasonic ERA-6AEB3830V includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications where the TE Connectivity part may not carry equivalent certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Panasonic ERA-6AEB3830V replace the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-8 in all applications?

A: The Panasonic substitute is electrically equivalent for resistance, tolerance, and temperature characteristics. Substitution is valid when circuit power dissipation does not exceed 0.125W. Applications requiring the full 0.25W rating require the original TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.001" height difference between these parts?

A: The seated height difference (0.026" versus 0.024") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance in standard 0805 package applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with matching ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficients, ensuring equivalent performance in thermal extremes.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean for the Panasonic part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification. The Panasonic ERA-6AEB3830V meets automotive reliability and performance requirements, making it suitable for automotive circuit applications where this certification is required.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the TE Connectivity 7-2176091-8 and Panasonic ERA-6AEB3830V are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes, both parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions and footprints. The minimal height difference does not affect PCB layout or reflow soldering processes.
