Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Resistance Value: Must be 280 kOhms
• Package Compatibility: Must be 0603 (1608 Metric) for direct PCB footprint compatibility
• Composition: Thin film construction maintains electrical performance characteristics
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 or equivalent for standard handling
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 compliant for regulatory alignment

Tolerance and temperature coefficient variations are acceptable when the substitute part meets or exceeds the original specification. Power rating must equal or exceed 0.1W. All identified substitutes maintain these core parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0603BRD07280KL (YAGEO): This upgrade substitute offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical power rating and package. Both parts are YAGEO series RT thin film resistors with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Direct footprint compatibility is assured.

3-2176090-3 (TE Connectivity): This direct substitute provides higher power rating (0.167W vs 0.1W) with improved tolerance and temperature coefficient. Package dimensions are 0.061" L x 0.031" W versus 0.063" L x 0.031" W for the main part, maintaining 0603 (1608 Metric) classification. TE Connectivity RP73P series thin film construction supports the same operating temperature range. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed; REACH status is vendor undefined.

ERA-3AEB2803V (Panasonic): This upgrade substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Identical power rating and package to the main part. Panasonic ERA-3A series thin film construction meets all electrical and thermal requirements. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD07280KL replace RT0603CRE07280KL in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. RT0603BRD07280KL offers superior tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications, making it a direct upgrade substitute with no functional limitations.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.1W and 0.167W power ratings?

A: Power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation. The 3-2176090-3 (0.167W) can safely dissipate more power than the main part (0.1W). In applications where the main part operates within 0.1W limits, the higher-rated substitute provides additional thermal margin without affecting circuit performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same 0603 package?

A: All parts are classified as 0603 (1608 Metric). Physical dimensions are nominally equivalent: main part and ERA-3AEB2803V are 0.063" L x 0.031" W; 3-2176090-3 is 0.061" L x 0.031" W. These variations are within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Which substitute is suitable for automotive applications?

A: ERA-3AEB2803V is qualified to automotive AEC-Q200 standard. This part is appropriate for automotive-grade circuit designs requiring enhanced reliability and qualification documentation.

Q: How do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: The main part specifies ±0.25% tolerance; all substitutes offer ±0.1% tolerance. Tighter tolerance reduces resistor value variation across production batches, improving circuit accuracy. Applications requiring high precision benefit from the substitute parts' improved tolerance specifications.

Q: What does temperature coefficient mean in resistor selection?

A: Temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) indicates how much the resistance value changes per degree Celsius. The main part has ±50ppm/°C; substitutes have ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient means more stable resistance across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range, beneficial for temperature-sensitive circuits.
