Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CR20362J manufactured by Meritek is a direct functional equivalent to the WR04X362 JTL. Both components are active production parts with identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and procurement requirements rather than technical performance differences.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and REACH regulatory status, making them suitable for applications requiring environmental and regulatory adherence. The MSL 1 rating for both components indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions, eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns in typical manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR20362J be used as a direct replacement for the WR04X362 JTL without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The CR20362J matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the WR04X362 JTL, including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. No circuit redesign or board layout changes are required.

Q: Are there any differences in the 0402 package dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts conform to the 0402 (1005 Metric) package standard with identical dimensions of 0.039" L x 0.020" W (1.00mm x 0.50mm) and maximum seated height of 0.016" (0.40mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the WR04X362 JTL and CR20362J are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for restricted substances and environmental compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient for these resistors?

A: The temperature coefficient specifies the resistance change per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. Both parts have identical temperature coefficients, ensuring equivalent thermal stability in circuit applications.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-volume automated assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly processes. The MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level indicates no special handling requirements beyond standard manufacturing practices.

Q: What is the tolerance specification and how does it affect circuit design?

A: Both parts have ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance value can vary within 5% of the nominal 3.6 kOhms specification. Circuit designs must account for this tolerance range in calculations for voltage dividers, timing circuits, and other applications where precise resistance values are critical.
