ERA-8ARB1691V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERA-8ARB1691V is a 1.69 kOhms ±0.1% thin film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is rated for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 standard with a power rating of 0.25W (1/4W) and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, design optimization, or performance requirements within the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ERA-8ARB1691V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.69 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (maintains performance characteristics)
• Automotive certification: AEC-Q200 (required for automotive applications)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The ERA-8ARW1691V qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±0.05% versus ±0.1%).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ERA-8ARB1691V and ERA-8ARW1691V are active production components from Panasonic Electronic Components with full AEC-Q200 automotive certification and ROHS3 compliance. The ERA-8ARW1691V provides tighter tolerance specification (±0.05% versus ±0.1%), which may be advantageous in precision analog circuits requiring reduced component variation. Both parts maintain identical power ratings, package dimensions, temperature coefficients, and operating temperature ranges. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements of the specific application and component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8ARW1691V replace ERA-8ARB1691V in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are AEC-Q200 certified, maintain identical resistance values, power ratings, package types, and operating temperature ranges. The ERA-8ARW1691V offers improved tolerance specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm) and maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm).

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: ERA-8ARB1691V has ±0.1% tolerance while ERA-8ARW1691V has ±0.05% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of ERA-8ARW1691V results in lower component-to-component variation, beneficial for precision applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Identical package type, footprint, and termination configuration (2 terminations) allow direct substitution without PCB layout modifications.
