ERA-3YED362Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERA-3YED362Z is a 3.6 kOhms ±0.5% metal film chip resistor rated at 0.1W (1/10W) in 0603 (1608 Metric) package format, manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering current product status and supply availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ERA-3YED362Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 3.6 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.5% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match required)
• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: minimum -55°C to 125°C (equal or extended range acceptable)
• RoHS3 compliance (required for regulatory equivalence)

The ERA-3AED362V qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. While the ERA-3AED362V utilizes thin film composition (versus metal film in the original) and includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification with an extended upper operating temperature of 155°C, these represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERA-3AED362V is the qualified substitute for the obsolete ERA-3YED362Z. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Full electrical parameter equivalence across resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient
• Identical mechanical compatibility in 0603 package format with matching physical dimensions and termination count
• Active product status with confirmed supply availability (1009 pcs in stock versus 1172 pcs for the obsolete part)
• Maintained RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating for regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) provides additional thermal margin beyond the original specification
• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification represents enhanced reliability certification applicable to general industrial and automotive applications

No additional testing or verification is required for direct substitution in applications originally specified for the ERA-3YED362Z.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-3AED362V be used as a direct replacement for ERA-3YED362Z in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ERA-3AED362V meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the ERA-3YED362Z. Identical resistance value (3.6 kOhms), tolerance (±0.5%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) ensure functional equivalence. The extended operating temperature range and AEC-Q200 certification represent performance enhancements.

Q: What is the difference between metal film and thin film composition in these resistors?

A: Both compositions meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. The ERA-3AED362V thin film construction provides the same tolerance (±0.5%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) as the original metal film design. Thin film technology is standard in automotive-qualified components.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ERA-3YED362Z packaging is unspecified in available data. The ERA-3AED362V is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume SMD assembly. Both parts use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions and are compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 certification on ERA-3AED362V affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 certification indicates enhanced reliability testing and qualification. Parts meeting automotive standards are fully compatible with general industrial, consumer, and commercial applications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and why is it important?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. These components require no special storage, handling, or baking procedures prior to assembly, simplifying supply chain and manufacturing logistics.
