ERA-2HRC8871P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERA-2HRC8871P is a 0402 (1005 Metric) thin film chip resistor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components with a resistance value of 8.87 kOhms and a tolerance of ±0.25%. This component is rated for 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing production, maintenance, and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ERA-2HRC8871P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 8.87 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.25% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.063W, 1/16W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The ERA-2ARC8871X qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is the addition of automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification and an extended maximum operating temperature of 155°C (compared to 125°C for the original part), which represents an enhancement rather than a limitation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-2ARC8871X is the qualified substitute for the obsolete ERA-2HRC8871P. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient) are identical.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Package dimensions, termination count, and form factor are identical, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
• Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting environmental and handling requirements.
• Active Product Status: The ERA-2ARC8871X is an active product with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring supply chain continuity.
• Enhanced Operating Range: The extended maximum operating temperature of 155°C provides additional thermal margin for applications operating near the original 125°C limit.
• Automotive Certification: AEC-Q200 qualification of the substitute part provides additional reliability assurance for demanding applications, though this certification is not required for non-automotive use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-2ARC8871X be used as a direct replacement for the ERA-2HRC8871P without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The ERA-2ARC8871X is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the ERA-2HRC8871P. All critical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and temperature coefficient are identical. No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the ERA-2ARC8871X?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard that certifies component reliability under automotive operating conditions. For non-automotive applications, this certification provides additional assurance of component quality and reliability but is not a requirement for substitution.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts have identical power ratings (0.063W) and temperature coefficients (±10ppm/°C). The ERA-2ARC8871X has an extended maximum operating temperature of 155°C compared to 125°C for the ERA-2HRC8871P. This represents an enhancement that provides additional thermal margin but does not affect performance within the original part's operating range.

Q: Is the 0402 package size identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.039" L x 0.020" W (1.00mm x 0.50mm) and maximum seated height of 0.016" (0.40mm). They are footprint-compatible with no PCB modifications required.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for the ERA-2ARC8871X?

A: The ERA-2ARC8871X has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), identical to the ERA-2HRC8871P. This indicates unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the ERA-2HRC8871P and ERA-2ARC8871X are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.
