Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Vishay Beyschlag MCA12060D3612BP100: This substitute provides a direct upgrade path with doubled power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W) while maintaining all core electrical specifications. The part is in active production status with RoHS3 compliance. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C, which covers the original specification minimum. Anti-Sulfur coating provides enhanced environmental protection. This option is suitable for applications where the original 0.125W rating provides adequate thermal margin.

Vishay Dale TNPW120636K1BEEN: This substitute offers the highest power rating (0.52W) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C), providing the greatest thermal and environmental headroom. The part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, Anti-Sulfur coating, and moisture-resistant construction. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed. This option is recommended for applications requiring enhanced reliability, automotive-grade components, or operation at elevated temperatures approaching 175°C.

Both substitutes maintain identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and package specifications as the original TE Connectivity 1614969-2. Selection between the two substitutes depends on application thermal requirements and environmental operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Vishay Beyschlag MCA12060D3612BP100 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1614969-2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (36.1 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and 1206 package specifications. The Vishay part has higher power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W), which is an allowable upgrade. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are power rating and operating temperature range. The Vishay Beyschlag MCA12060D3612BP100 is rated for 0.25W with -55°C ~ 125°C operation. The Vishay Dale TNPW120636K1BEEN is rated for 0.52W with -55°C ~ 175°C operation and includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Both maintain identical electrical specifications for resistance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The original TE Connectivity part measures 0.120" L x 0.061" W (3.05mm x 1.55mm). Both Vishay substitutes measure 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). These dimensional differences are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility. Height specifications are identical at 0.026" (0.65mm) maximum.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The Vishay Dale TNPW120636K1BEEN is specified for operation to 175°C, compared to 155°C for the original part and 125°C for the Vishay Beyschlag option. For applications approaching or exceeding 155°C, the TNPW120636K1BEEN is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Vishay Beyschlag MCA12060D3612BP100 and Vishay Dale TNPW120636K1BEEN are RoHS3 compliant. The original TE Connectivity part does not specify RoHS status.

Q: What does the AEC-Q200 rating on the Vishay Dale part indicate?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard for passive components. This certification indicates the Vishay Dale TNPW120636K1BEEN meets automotive industry reliability and performance requirements. This qualification is not present on the other two parts.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same design?

A: Yes, for applications where the original 0.125W power rating provides adequate thermal margin. Both substitutes maintain identical electrical performance. If the application operates near the original power rating limit or at elevated temperatures, the higher-rated Vishay Dale part is preferred for enhanced reliability margin.
