Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RG3216N-2872-B-T5 and ERA-8ARB2872V are active production components with identical electrical specifications and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Susumu RG3216N-2872-B-T5:

• Features anti-sulfur coating for enhanced environmental protection
• Seated height: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Suitable for applications requiring additional corrosion resistance

Panasonic ERA-8ARB2872V:

• Seated height: 0.028" (0.70mm)
• Suitable for applications with standard height clearance requirements
• Alternative sourcing option for supply chain continuity

Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and automotive qualification requirements. The primary differentiation factor is the seated height specification, which must be verified against PCB layout constraints. The anti-sulfur feature of the Susumu part provides additional environmental protection in corrosive atmospheres.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-8ARB2872V be used as a direct replacement for RG3216N-2872-B-T5?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (28.7 kOhms ±0.1%, 0.25W, ±10ppm/°C), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The primary difference is seated height: 0.020" (0.50mm) for Susumu versus 0.028" (0.70mm) for Panasonic. Verify PCB layout clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance specification?

A: The ±0.1% tolerance indicates a precision thin film resistor suitable for high-accuracy circuit applications. This tight tolerance is maintained across the operating temperature range and is critical for applications requiring stable resistance values. Both substitute parts maintain this specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the RG3216N-2872-B-T5 and ERA-8ARB2872V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. Both are rated for the full automotive temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. Components with this rating require no special moisture protection during storage, handling, or assembly. Both parts can be stored and processed under standard conditions without moisture-related degradation.

Q: How does the anti-sulfur coating on the Susumu part affect substitution?

A: The anti-sulfur coating on the RG3216N-2872-B-T5 provides enhanced protection against sulfur-containing atmospheric contaminants. This feature is beneficial in corrosive environments but is not required for standard applications. The Panasonic ERA-8ARB2872V lacks this specific feature but maintains equivalent electrical performance and automotive qualification.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical length and width dimensions (0.126" x 0.063" or 3.20mm x 1.60mm). The seated height difference (0.020" versus 0.028") must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, particularly in space-constrained applications or where component stacking is involved.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are classified as MSL 1 for moisture sensitivity. Both are assigned ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030 for export and tariff purposes.
