ERJ-S14F1960U Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERJ-S14F1960U is a 196 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor rated at 0.5W (1/2W) in a 1210 (3225 Metric) package. This component is manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components and features anti-sulfur coating with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The part is currently in active production status with 772 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design revisions require alternative sourcing, or when inventory constraints require qualified alternatives from the same or equivalent product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ERJ-S14F1960U is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 196 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Package: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The ERJ-14NF1960U meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The primary distinction is product status: ERJ-S14F1960U is active production, while ERJ-14NF1960U is designated "Not For New Designs" but remains electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, the ERJ-S14F1960U is the preferred selection due to its active production status. This ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The ERJ-14NF1960U is electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintains full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and RoHS3 compliance. However, its "Not For New Designs" status indicates that Panasonic has transitioned this product line. Use of ERJ-14NF1960U is appropriate for legacy design support, field replacements, or situations where ERJ-S14F1960U availability is constrained.

Both parts are suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. Both maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-14NF1960U be used as a direct replacement for ERJ-S14F1960U in new designs?

A: ERJ-14NF1960U is electrically and mechanically equivalent and meets all AEC-Q200 automotive requirements. However, it carries a "Not For New Designs" designation. For new designs, ERJ-S14F1960U is the recommended choice to ensure long-term supply availability.

Q: Are there any differences in anti-sulfur coating between these parts?

A: ERJ-S14F1960U explicitly includes anti-sulfur coating in its specification. ERJ-14NF1960U does not list this feature. This distinction may be relevant for applications in high-sulfur environments.

Q: Do both parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1210 (3225 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.098" W (3.20mm x 2.50mm) and maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm).

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating of 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. Both parts can be stored indefinitely under normal conditions without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both ERJ-S14F1960U and ERJ-14NF1960U are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
