Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ERA-8AEB1960V from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Both parts provide 196 Ohms nominal resistance
• Package Format: Both use 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package
• Power Rating: Both rated at 0.25W (1/4W)
• Operating Temperature Range: Both support -55°C to 155°C
• Composition: Both utilize thin film technology
• Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating

The ERA-8AEB1960V represents an upgrade path due to improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and enhanced temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), while maintaining full mechanical and thermal compatibility.

Parameter Comparison
