Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-1614707-2 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or improve:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 3.92 kOhms
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Number of Terminations: 2

Allowable Upgrade Parameters:

• Tolerance: Can be equal or tighter (±0.1% or better)
• Power Rating: Can be equal or higher (0.125W or greater)
• Temperature Coefficient: Can be equal or lower in absolute value
• Operating Temperature Range: Can be equal or extended
• Product Status: Active status preferred over obsolete

All substitute parts listed maintain the 3.92 kOhms resistance value and 1206 package format. Substitute parts from Susumu and Vishay Dale offer active product status, improved tolerance options, higher power ratings, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing enhanced reliability and availability compared to the obsolete TE Connectivity original.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Minimum Specification Match): RG3216N-3921-B-T5 maintains identical electrical specifications (3.92 kOhms ±0.1%, ±10ppm/°C) while offering doubled power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W), active product status, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and ROHS3 compliance. This part provides the most conservative upgrade path with no specification changes beyond improved availability and reliability.

For Enhanced Tolerance Applications: RG3216N-3921-W-T1 and RG3216V-3921-W-T1 provide ±0.05% tolerance, improving circuit accuracy. RG3216V-3921-P-T1 offers the tightest tolerance at ±0.02% for precision applications. All three maintain 0.25W power rating and active status with AEC-Q200 qualification.

For Superior Temperature Stability: RG3216V series parts (RG3216V-3921-B-T5, RG3216V-3921-P-T1, RG3216V-3921-W-T1) feature ±5ppm/°C temperature coefficient, half that of the original part, providing improved thermal stability across the operating range.

For Maximum Power Margin: TNPW12063K92BYEA from Vishay Dale provides the highest power rating at 0.52W with extended operating temperature to 175°C, moisture-resistant construction, and AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring additional thermal headroom.

All substitute parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes, matching the original part's regulatory status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher power rating than the original 0.125W specification?

A: Yes. Higher power ratings are compatible substitutes. A part rated at 0.25W or 0.52W will function correctly in circuits designed for 0.125W operation. The higher rating provides additional thermal margin and reliability without affecting circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between Susumu RG3216N and RG3216V series?

A: Both series are 1206 package thin film resistors with identical resistance and package dimensions. The primary difference is temperature coefficient: RG3216N series has ±10ppm/°C while RG3216V series has ±5ppm/°C. RG3216V provides superior temperature stability for precision applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive qualified?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, exceeding the original TE Connectivity part which did not specify automotive rating. This qualification ensures reliability in automotive environments.

Q: Can I substitute a ±0.02% tolerance part for the original ±0.1% specification?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance is a compatible upgrade. The RG3216V-3921-P-T1 at ±0.02% will meet or exceed any circuit requirement specified for ±0.1% tolerance, providing improved accuracy.

Q: Are the physical dimensions of substitute parts identical to the original?

A: All substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Dimensional variations exist within standard tolerances: original part is 0.120" L x 0.061" W with 0.026" max height; substitute parts are 0.126" L x 0.063" W with 0.020" max height. These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for 1206 components and do not require layout modifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts?

A: All parts, including the original and all substitutes, are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for a new design?

A: For new designs, select based on application requirements: RG3216N-3921-B-T5 for standard applications with active product status; RG3216V series for improved temperature stability; TNPW12063K92BYEA for maximum power margin and extended temperature range. All are active products with full AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance.
