Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ERA-2HRC6201P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.25%
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The ERA-2ARC6201X qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical specifications and package requirements. The primary distinction is product status and operating temperature range extension, which does not preclude substitution in applications designed for the original part's temperature limits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-2ARC6201X is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the ERA-2HRC6201P. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and thermal coefficient specifications. The ERA-2ARC6201X offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C) provides additional thermal margin without compromising performance in applications designed for the original part's specifications. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification of the ERA-2ARC6201X does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications. ROHS3 compliance is maintained across both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-2ARC6201X be used as a direct replacement for ERA-2HRC6201P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in resistance (6.2 kOhms), tolerance (±0.25%), power rating (0.063W), package (0402), and thermal characteristics (±10ppm/°C). Physical dimensions and termination count are identical.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute ERA-2HRC6201P?

A: The ERA-2HRC6201P is classified as obsolete. The ERA-2ARC6201X is an active product with equivalent specifications, ensuring long-term component availability.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of ERA-2ARC6201X affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-55°C ~ 155°C) is a superset of the original part's range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Applications designed for the original part operate within the substitute's rated limits.

Q: Are there package or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W, 1.00mm x 0.50mm) and maximum seated height (0.016", 0.40mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on ERA-2ARC6201X?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications and indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both ERA-2HRC6201P and ERA-2ARC6201X are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
