Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ERA-2ARC2002X is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.25%
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Package type: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Automotive compliance: AEC-Q200

The ERA-2ARC203X qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The difference between these parts is limited to packaging format: ERA-2ARC2002X is supplied in standard packaging, while ERA-2ARC203X is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts maintain the same base product number (ERA-2AR) and series designation (ERA-2A).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ERA-2ARC2002X and ERA-2ARC203X are active production components from Panasonic Electronic Components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability. The ERA-2ARC203X in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes, while ERA-2ARC2002X standard packaging may be appropriate for lower-volume or manual assembly applications. Both parts maintain full AEC-Q200 automotive compliance and ROHS3 certification, ensuring compatibility in automotive-grade circuit designs operating within the specified temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-2ARC203X replace ERA-2ARC2002X in my circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 20 kOhms ±0.25% resistance, 0.063W power rating, thin film composition, and 0402 package. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Packaging format affects handling and assembly processes. Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production. Standard packaging is typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both ERA-2ARC2002X and ERA-2ARC203X carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 155°C, meeting automotive-grade reliability requirements.

Q: What does the ±0.25% tolerance specification mean for substitution?

A: Both substitute parts maintain identical ±0.25% tolerance, ensuring equivalent precision in circuit performance. This tight tolerance is maintained across the full operating temperature range with a temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C.

Q: Is there a difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: No. Both ERA-2ARC2002X and ERA-2ARC203X are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical environmental and regulatory compliance.
