ERO-S2PHF3600 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ERO-S2PHF3600 is a 360 Ohm ±1% 1/4W axial metal film through-hole resistor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production, maintenance, and repair applications. The ERO series represents a legacy product line, and active alternatives with identical electrical specifications are available from current manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ERO-S2PHF3600 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 360 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (precision class equivalence)
• Power Rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (thermal capability match)
• Composition: Metal Film (electrical performance characteristics)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (stability equivalence)
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 150°C coverage
• Package Type: Axial (mechanical and PCB compatibility)
• Termination Count: 2 (circuit interface compatibility)

The RNMF14FTC360R from Stackpole Electronics Inc meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RNMF14FTC360R is the qualified substitute for the ERO-S2PHF3600 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components provide identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The RNMF14FTC360R extends the upper operating temperature limit to 155°C, providing additional thermal margin.

Product Status: The ERO-S2PHF3600 is obsolete, while the RNMF14FTC360R is active and in current production. This ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance & Certifications: The RNMF14FTC360R carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The substitute includes flame retardant coating and safety features in its metal film construction.

Physical Compatibility: Both components use axial packaging with identical termination configuration. Dimensional differences (0.070" Dia x 0.130" L vs. 0.067" Dia x 0.126" L) are within standard PCB layout tolerances for through-hole axial resistors.

Packaging & Availability: The RNMF14FTC360R is available in Cut Tape format with 2428 pieces in stock, supporting both prototype and production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RNMF14FTC360R be used as a direct replacement for the ERO-S2PHF3600?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 360 Ohms, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Axial package compatibility and two-termination configuration ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Q: What is the difference in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: The ERO-S2PHF3600 measures 0.067" Dia x 0.126" L (1.70mm x 3.20mm). The RNMF14FTC360R measures 0.070" Dia x 0.130" L (1.78mm x 3.30mm). These dimensional variations are within standard tolerances for axial resistor PCB layouts and do not affect circuit performance or board assembly.

Q: Why is the ERO-S2PHF3600 marked as obsolete?

A: The ERO series represents a legacy product line from Panasonic. Obsolescence reflects discontinuation of manufacturing and distribution. The RNMF14FTC360R from Stackpole Electronics Inc is an active product with equivalent specifications and current availability.

Q: Does the RNMF14FTC360R meet modern regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The RNMF14FTC360R is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and safety regulations. The ERO-S2PHF3600 regulatory status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these components?

A: The ERO-S2PHF3600 operates from -55°C to 150°C. The RNMF14FTC360R operates from -55°C to 155°C. The 5°C extended upper limit on the substitute provides additional thermal margin for high-temperature applications.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging format?

A: The RNMF14FTC360R is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, which is standard for automated assembly and reel-based component handling. The ERO-S2PHF3600 packaging format is not specified. Both formats are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What additional features does the RNMF14FTC360R include?

A: The RNMF14FTC360R incorporates flame retardant coating and safety features in its metal film construction, providing enhanced reliability in applications requiring additional safety margins.
