Full Description & History

Genuine Panasonic ERJ-2RKF1603X thick-film surface-mount chip resistors, supplied as one lot containing 55 pieces from original distributor-labeled electronic component stock.

These miniature 0402 SMD resistors feature a nominal resistance of 160K ohm (160,000 ohm), ±1% tolerance, and a 0.1W (1/10W) power rating.

Part of Panasonic's ERJ-2RK precision resistor series, these components are designed for compact electronic assemblies requiring dependable fixed resistance and accurate electrical characteristics.

The ERJ-2RKF1603X features a temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C, an operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

The standard 0402 (1005 Metric) surface-mount package measures approximately 1.0 × 0.5 mm, with a maximum seated height of 0.4 mm.

Typical applications include precision voltage dividers, high-impedance sensing circuits, transistor bias networks, pull-up and pull-down circuits, feedback networks, signal conditioning, industrial controls, automotive electronics, communications equipment, instrumentation, and component-level PCB repair.

The original distributor label identifies Panasonic as the manufacturer, China as the country of origin, and manufacturer date code 1525.

Lot Size: 55 Pieces

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:

Panasonic traces its origins to 1918, when Konosuke Matsushita established an electrical manufacturing business in Osaka, Japan.

Over the following decades, Panasonic developed into a major international manufacturer of electronic equipment and components, including resistors, capacitors, batteries, and other passive electronic technologies.

Panasonic's ERJ resistor family includes thick-film surface-mount chip resistors developed for compact electronic assemblies and automated printed circuit board manufacturing.

Thick-film resistor technology uses a resistive composition deposited onto a ceramic substrate. This manufacturing process supports economical production of miniature fixed-resistance components with a wide selection of resistance values.

As electronic equipment became smaller and circuit boards more densely populated, miniature 0402 resistors became increasingly important in communications electronics, industrial controls, automotive systems, and electronic instrumentation.

Panasonic's ERJ-2RK series provides precision-tolerance thick-film resistors designed for applications requiring ±1% resistance accuracy.

The ERJ-2RKF1603X provides 160K ohm nominal resistance with ±1% tolerance and a 0.1W power rating in the miniature 0402 package.

Its relatively high resistance value is suitable for appropriately designed high-impedance sensing networks, voltage dividers, transistor bias circuits, and low-current signal-processing applications.

The ERJ-2RK series includes AEC-Q200 qualified components, supporting use in appropriately designed automotive electronic assemblies.

The original distributor packaging carries date code 1525, conventionally corresponding to the twenty-fifth production week of 2015.

The packaging identifies China as the country of origin for this particular stock.
