CRC3A4E183JT

CRC3A4E183JT Description

The CRC3A4E183JT from KYOCERA AVX is a high-performance 4-resistor network designed for precision surface-mount applications. This 18kΩ isolated resistor array comes in a compact 1206 (3216 Metric) convex package with long-side terminals, measuring 0.126" x 0.063" (3.20mm x 1.60mm) and a low-profile height of 0.024" (0.60mm). With a ±5% tolerance and ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient, it ensures stable performance across varying environmental conditions. Rated at 62.5mW per element, this obsolete but reliable component is packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) for automated assembly, complying with REACH Unaffected and EAR99 regulations.

CRC3A4E183JT Features

• Compact Design: Space-saving 1206 footprint ideal for dense PCB layouts.
• High Reliability: Convex long-side terminals enhance mechanical stability and solder joint integrity.
• Stable Performance: Low ±250ppm/°C thermal drift ensures consistent resistance under temperature fluctuations.
• Automation-Friendly: Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) for efficient pick-and-place assembly.
• Broad Compliance: Meets REACH Unaffected and EAR99 standards for global use.
• Isolated Circuitry: Independent resistors reduce crosstalk in sensitive analog/digital circuits.

CRC3A4E183JT Applications

This resistor network excels in:

• Signal Conditioning: Precision voltage division and pull-up/down in sensor interfaces.
• Consumer Electronics: Durable, compact solution for smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices.
• Industrial Controls: Stable performance in PLCs, motor drives, and instrumentation.
• Automotive Systems: Reliable operation in infotainment and ECU modules (though not AEC-Q200 qualified).
• Power Management: Current limiting and biasing in low-power DC/DC converters.

Conclusion of CRC3A4E183JT

The CRC3A4E183JT balances miniaturization, stability, and ease of integration, making it a pragmatic choice for legacy designs or replacements in cost-sensitive applications. While obsolete, its Kyocera AVX heritage ensures robustness for industrial and consumer use. Engineers seeking a proven 18kΩ array with low thermal drift and high power handling (62.5mW/resistor) will find this model a dependable solution. For new designs, verify alternatives, but this component remains a viable option for repair or niche requirements.
