Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RT0603FRE0797R6L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 97.6 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% or tighter (±0.1% qualifies as superior tolerance)
• Power rating: 0.1W minimum
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) form factor
• Composition: Thin film technology
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS3 compliance: Required

The ERA-3AEB97R6V from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria with identical resistance, package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. The substitute part offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, representing an upgrade path for applications requiring enhanced precision.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RT0603FRE0797R6L and ERA-3AEB97R6V maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these components depends on application-specific precision requirements. The YAGEO RT0603FRE0797R6L provides standard ±1% tolerance performance suitable for general-purpose applications. The Panasonic ERA-3AEB97R6V offers tighter ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, appropriate for precision analog circuits and automotive-grade implementations. Both components share identical package geometry, power dissipation capability, and thermal operating range, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-3AEB97R6V replace RT0603FRE0797R6L in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 97.6 Ohm resistance, 0603 package dimensions, 0.1W power rating, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range. The ERA-3AEB97R6V provides superior tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct upgrade.

Q: What are the physical compatibility requirements?

A: Both parts use 0603 (1608 Metric) package format with identical dimensions: 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Are there tolerance differences that affect circuit performance?

A: The ERA-3AEB97R6V provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to RT0603FRE0797R6L's ±1% tolerance. For a 97.6 Ohm resistor, this represents a maximum deviation of ±0.0976 Ohms versus ±0.976 Ohms respectively. Applications requiring precision analog signal conditioning or calibration benefit from the tighter tolerance specification.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the substitute part?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates the ERA-3AEB97R6V meets automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. This qualification is relevant only for automotive applications; general industrial and consumer applications do not require this specification.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity and RoHS compliance identical?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and ROHS3 compliance status, indicating equivalent handling, storage, and environmental compliance requirements.
