ERA-3YED162Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERA-3YED162Z is a 1.6 kOhms ±0.5% metal film chip resistor rated at 0.1W (1/10W) in 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package. This part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and repair applications. The metal film composition provides stable resistance characteristics with a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C across the operating range of -55°C to 125°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ERA-3YED162Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (1.6 kOhms), tolerance (±0.5%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and RoHS compliance status. The ERA-3AED162V qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. While the ERA-3AED162V features thin film composition and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with an extended upper operating temperature of 155°C (versus 125°C for the original), these represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from the core substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-3AED162V is the qualified substitute for ERA-3YED162Z applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (1.6 kOhms ±0.5%, 0.1W, ±25ppm/°C) and physical package dimensions (0603). The ERA-3AED162V is currently in active production status, ensuring supply chain availability for new designs and replacement stock. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture handling requirements equivalently.

The ERA-3AED162V incorporates AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and thin film technology, which extends the upper operating temperature limit to 155°C compared to the original 125°C specification. This represents a functional enhancement suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance. For applications constrained to the original -55°C to 125°C range, the ERA-3AED162V operates within these limits without performance degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-3AED162V be used as a direct replacement for ERA-3YED162Z? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (1.6 kOhms), tolerance (±0.5%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). Physical dimensions and termination count are equivalent, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between metal film and thin film composition? A: Both compositions meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Thin film technology, used in the ERA-3AED162V, typically offers enhanced stability and precision. The ERA-3AED162V maintains the same ±0.5% tolerance as the original metal film part.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature of ERA-3AED162V affect compatibility? A: No. The ERA-3AED162V operates correctly across the original -55°C to 125°C range and extends to 155°C. Applications limited to the original temperature range experience no adverse effects from this extended capability.

Q: Are packaging and tape specifications compatible? A: Both parts use 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount package with identical physical dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W, 0.022" max height). The ERA-3AED162V is supplied in Tape & Reel format, standard for production environments.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts? A: Both ERA-3YED162Z and ERA-3AED162V are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-3AED162V additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, applicable to automotive and high-reliability applications.
