Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ERA-2HRC6801P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 6.8 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.25% (precision specification)
• Power Rating: 0.063W, 1/16W (electrical stress rating)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) (physical and footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thin Film (performance characteristics)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (stability specification)

The ERA-2ARC6801X qualifies as a direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient) and physical package dimensions. The primary difference is product status and operating temperature range extension, with the substitute rated to -55°C ~ 155°C compared to the original -55°C ~ 125°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-2ARC6801X is the qualified substitute for ERA-2HRC6801P based on the following factors:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical resistance (6.8 kOhms), tolerance (±0.25%), power rating (0.063W), and temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C). These parameters ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Physical Compatibility: Both parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W, 1.00mm x 0.50mm) and height (0.016" maximum). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Compliance Status: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The substitute maintains regulatory compliance requirements.

Product Availability: The ERA-2ARC6801X is classified as Active, providing assured long-term availability compared to the obsolete ERA-2HRC6801P. The substitute is available in production quantities (668 Pcs in stock).

Operating Temperature Consideration: The substitute extends the upper operating temperature limit from 125°C to 155°C. This provides enhanced thermal margin for applications operating at elevated temperatures. For designs constrained to the original -55°C ~ 125°C range, the substitute remains fully compatible.

Automotive Qualification: The ERA-2ARC6801X carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This certification is applicable for automotive and high-reliability applications but does not restrict use in general industrial or consumer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-2ARC6801X replace ERA-2HRC6801P in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (6.8 kOhms ±0.25%, 0.063W, ±10ppm/°C) and physical package (0402, 1.00mm x 0.50mm). No circuit modifications or PCB redesign are required.

Q: What is the difference between ERA-2H and ERA-2A series?

A: The ERA-2H series is standard thin film resistors. The ERA-2A series includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Both series share identical electrical and physical specifications for equivalent part numbers.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of ERA-2ARC6801X affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C) provides additional thermal capability. The substitute is fully compatible with designs specified for the original temperature range.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The ERA-2ARC6801X includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is an additional certification that does not restrict general-purpose applications.

Q: Is PCB assembly process affected by substitution?

A: No. Both parts use identical 0402 package dimensions and termination configuration. Existing assembly processes, reflow profiles, and handling procedures remain unchanged.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The ERA-2HRC6801P is obsolete with 1,077 pieces in stock. The ERA-2ARC6801X is active with 668 pieces in stock, providing assured long-term availability for future production requirements.
