Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERJ-PA3J162V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 1.6 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical package format: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Identical automotive certification: AEC-Q200
• Identical composition: Thick Film
• Identical RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The power rating differs (0.333W vs 0.25W), which represents an upgrade in thermal capability and does not restrict substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ESR03EZPJ162 and ERJ-PA3J162V are active production components with full AEC-Q200 automotive certification and ROHS3 compliance. The ERJ-PA3J162V provides higher power dissipation capability (0.333W vs 0.25W) while maintaining identical electrical characteristics and package dimensions. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and design margin considerations for thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-PA3J162V replace ESR03EZPJ162 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts meet AEC-Q200 automotive standards, share identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The substitute part offers higher power rating, which does not restrict its use in circuits designed for the original component.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: The ESR03EZPJ162 is rated at 0.25W (1/4W), while the ERJ-PA3J162V is rated at 0.333W (1/3W). The higher power rating of the substitute part provides additional thermal margin and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
