Panasonic ERA-3A 16K Ohm Thin Film Chip Resistor, 0.1%, 0.1W, 0603

The Panasonic ERA-3A series is a high-reliability SMD chip resistor designed for demanding applications where precision and long-term stability are non-negotiable. It employs a sophisticated thin-film technology combined with a robust, moisture-resistant overcoat to ensure exceptional performance consistency throughout its operational lifetime. This focus on reliability, coupled with a high heat resistance and compliance with the AEC-Q200 automotive qualification standard, makes the ERA-3A perfectly suited for harsh-environment applications across multiple critical industries.

Engineered for superior electrical characteristics, this 16kohm resistor offers high accuracy with a tight tolerance of ±0.1% and a low temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C. This ensures minimal resistance drift across a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +155°C. Furthermore, it delivers high performance with low current noise and excellent linearity, making it ideal for sensitive analogue and measurement circuits.

Housed in the compact and industry-standard 0603 1608 metric package, it allows for high-density PCB assembly while providing a power rating of 0.1W (100mW) and a voltage rating of 75V. The metal film (thin film) construction is the key to its stability and precision.
