Metal Thin Film Chip Resistors - High Reliability Series

Panasonic's ERA 2A, 3A and 6A high reliability type, metal thin film chip resistors are extremely well suited to applications in the automotive, transportation, medical and measurement industries.



These new ERA-type devices achieve outstanding reliability and stability at high temperatures and humidity. Their construction uses a newly developed, highly reliable, metal thin film technology in conjunction with a moisture resistant overcoat.

Available in 0402, 0603 and 0805 package sizes with power ratings of 0.063W, 0.1W and 0.125W respectively, the resistors are designed for a wide operating temperature range from a low -55°C and up to +155°C (1000 hours ±0.1%) and are AEC-Q200 rated.

The devices exhibit a small resistance tolerance and Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) and are therefore highly accurate. Low current noise and excellent non-linearity contribute to their high performance.

The device values range from 10Ω to 1MΩ, with a choice of ±0.1% or ±0.5% tolerance. TCR values as low as 25ppm/°C are attainable. The ERA3AEBxxxV in 0603 and ERA6AEBxxxV in 0805, for example, feature ±0.1% accuracy and TCRs of 25ppm/°C.

The table illustrates the main product characteristics.
