ERA-2HRC97R6P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERA-2HRC97R6P is a 97.6 Ohms ±0.25% thin film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package rated at 0.063W (1/16W). Manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, this part operates across -55°C to 125°C with a temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring this specific resistance value and tolerance class.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ERA-2HRC97R6P is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 97.6 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.25% (precision class requirement)
• Power rating: 0.063W minimum
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) form factor
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The ERA-2ARC97R6X meets all these criteria while offering an extended operating temperature range and active product status with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-2ARC97R6X is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete ERA-2HRC97R6P. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 97.6 Ohms resistance, ±0.25% tolerance, 0.063W power rating, and ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The substitute maintains the same 0402 package footprint and thin film composition, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing designs.

The ERA-2ARC97R6X offers advantages for new designs and production continuity: active product status ensures long-term availability, extended operating temperature range to 155°C provides additional thermal margin, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification adds reliability certification for demanding applications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-2ARC97R6X replace ERA-2HRC97R6P in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in all critical parameters: resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package, and temperature coefficient. Direct substitution is valid for applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C range of the original specification.

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

A: The ERA-2H series (obsolete) and ERA-2A series (active) share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for equivalent part numbers. The ERA-2A series includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and extended temperature range to 155°C, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

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 of 0.016" (0.40mm). PCB layouts and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Is the ERA-2ARC97R6X suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. The ERA-2ARC97R6X carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. The ERA-2HRC97R6P does not have this certification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and does it affect handling?

A: Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. Standard handling procedures apply with no special storage or baking requirements prior to assembly.
