AC0201FR-0736RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AC0201FR-0736RL is a 36 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor in 0201 package (0.60mm x 0.30mm) rated at 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation. This component is manufactured by YAGEO and carries Automotive AEC-Q200 certification with moisture resistance. The part is currently in Active product status with 841 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit equivalent alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AC0201FR-0736RL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (36 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.05W) must be identical
• Physical Package: 0201 (0603 Metric) form factor with matching dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W, height max 0.010")
• Composition & Performance: Thick film construction with temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating required
• Termination: 2-terminal configuration

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. RK73H1HTTC36R0F (KOA Speer Electronics) – Direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Product status is Not For New Designs.
2. ERJ-1GNF36R0C (Panasonic Electronic Components) – Functional equivalent with identical core specifications. Product status is Active. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C (5°C lower maximum than primary part).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (AC0201FR-0736RL): Recommended for new designs. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability. Carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification and moisture resistance features.

First Alternative (ERJ-1GNF36R0C): Suitable for applications where the operating temperature maximum of 125°C is sufficient. Active product status provides design continuity. Lacks explicit AEC-Q200 certification; verify automotive requirements before substitution in safety-critical applications.

Secondary Alternative (RK73H1HTTC36R0F): Electrically and mechanically equivalent with full AEC-Q200 certification. Not For New Designs status indicates this part is in mature/end-of-life phase. Use only for legacy design maintenance or when supply of primary part is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-1GNF36R0C be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification?

A: ERJ-1GNF36R0C does not carry explicit AEC-Q200 certification in the provided specifications. If AEC-Q200 compliance is a design requirement, use AC0201FR-0736RL or RK73H1HTTC36R0F instead.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature difference between AC0201FR-0736RL (155°C max) and ERJ-1GNF36R0C (125°C max)?

A: The 30°C difference in maximum operating temperature affects applications operating at elevated temperatures. For designs with thermal margins below 125°C, ERJ-1GNF36R0C is acceptable. For designs requiring full -55°C to 155°C range, use AC0201FR-0736RL.

Q: Why is RK73H1HTTC36R0F marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature production phase with potential future discontinuation. It remains suitable for legacy design support and maintenance but should not be selected for new product development.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. All three parts use identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package with 2 terminations, identical dimensions, and identical footprint. Direct PCB substitution is possible without layout modification.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS3 and MSL 1 requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.
