Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG1608P-152-W-T5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 1.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.05%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Composition: Thin Film

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance & Environmental:

• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The ERA-3ARW152V from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria. Differences in temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C) and seated height (0.022" versus 0.020") do not preclude substitution, as these parameters remain within acceptable ranges for equivalent component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RG1608P-152-W-T5 and ERA-3ARW152V are active production components with full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging requirements, and supply chain considerations.

The RG1608P-152-W-T5 features anti-sulfur coating and is supplied in Tape & Reel format. The ERA-3ARW152V is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats with a lower temperature coefficient specification (±10ppm/°C). Both components maintain identical electrical performance for resistance value, tolerance, and power rating in the 0603 package format.

Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) may influence selection based on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements. The seated height difference of 0.002" (0.05mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not restrict substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-3ARW152V replace RG1608P-152-W-T5 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both components carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Electrical specifications for resistance, tolerance, and power rating are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts?

A: The RG1608P-152-W-T5 has a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, while the ERA-3ARW152V has ±10ppm/°C. The ERA-3ARW152V exhibits superior temperature stability. Both values are within acceptable ranges for thin film 0603 resistors and do not restrict substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical length and width dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W). The seated height differs by 0.002" (0.05mm), which is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect board layout or component placement.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RG1608P-152-W-T5 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The ERA-3ARW152V is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. Packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RG1608P-152-W-T5 and ERA-3ARW152V are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent. Both components are qualified for the same operating temperature range and automotive applications. Substitution is valid for direct board-level replacement.
