Panasonic ERJ-2RKF36R0X 36 ohm 1% 0.1W 0402 SMD Thick Film Resistors 90 PCS NOS

Genuine Panasonic ERJ-2RKF36R0X precision thick-film surface-mount chip resistors featuring a 36 ohm resistance value, 1% tolerance, and 0.1W (1/10 watt) power rating. These miniature 0402 (1005 metric) resistors belong to Panasonic's ERJ-2RK series, designed for reliable electrical performance in compact electronic assemblies.

The 36 ohm resistance value is useful in current-limiting circuits, voltage dividers, transistor bias networks, signal conditioning, feedback circuits, LED drive circuits, industrial electronics, communications equipment, and general component-level repair.

These resistors feature thick-film resistive elements formed on ceramic substrates with protective coatings and solderable terminations suitable for automated surface-mount assembly.

Their compact dimensions make them particularly useful for repairs involving densely populated printed circuit boards where traditional leaded components or larger surface-mount resistors cannot be accommodated.

LIFECYCLE: ACTIVE

\- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Panasonic traces its origins to 1918, when Konosuke Matsushita established the Matsushita Electric Housewares Manufacturing Works in Osaka, Japan. The company initially produced electrical accessories and gradually expanded into a major international manufacturer of consumer electronics, industrial equipment, communications technology, and electronic components.

  Throughout the twentieth century, Panasonic developed a broad range of passive electronic components, including capacitors, resistors, inductors, and other devices used in electrical and electronic equipment. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. officially adopted the Panasonic Corporation name in 2008.

  The development of miniature fixed resistors closely followed advances in transistor technology, integrated circuits, and printed circuit board manufacturing. Early electronic equipment frequently used carbon composition and wirewound resistors with axial leads, which required holes and relatively large mounting areas on circuit boards.

  As electronic assemblies became more compact, manufacturers increasingly adopted surface-mount components that could be installed directly onto copper pads without through-hole leads.

  Thick-film chip resistor technology became an important part of this transition. These components are manufactured using resistive materials deposited onto ceramic substrates, followed by protective coatings and conductive terminations.

  The resulting miniature resistors provide standardized resistance values and electrical characteristics while supporting efficient automated assembly.

  During the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century, surface-mount resistors became widely used in computers, communications equipment, automotive electronics, audio devices, industrial controllers, and electronic instrumentation.

  Panasonic developed its extensive ERJ family of fixed chip resistors to support the growing requirements of surface-mount manufacturing. The family includes general-purpose thick-film resistors, precision tolerance devices, high-power chip resistors, and specialized resistor configurations.

  The ERJ-2RK series belongs to Panasonic's miniature 0402 thick-film resistor family. The 0402 package measures approximately 1.0 x 0.5 mm, allowing manufacturers to place large numbers of passive components onto densely populated circuit boards.

  The ERJ-2RKF36R0X provides a 36 ohm resistance value with 1% tolerance and a 0.1W power rating. Its temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C supports applications requiring reasonably controlled resistance variation across changes in operating temperature.

  Precision chip resistors such as this model are used in voltage dividers, signal conditioning circuits, current-limiting networks, amplifier support circuitry, digital logic interfaces, and industrial electronic assemblies.

  The development of standardized miniature resistors contributed to the continuing reduction in electronic equipment size while improving compatibility with automated manufacturing techniques.

  Panasonic's ERJ resistor technology remains important in modern electronics production and component-level maintenance, particularly where exact resistance values, compact dimensions, and established electrical specifications are required.

  The ERJ-2RKF36R0X remains listed as an active manufacturer part through authorized electronic component distribution channels.
