Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1676164-5 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RN73C2A11K8BTDF maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Resistance value: 11.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Physical dimensions and termination count

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and compliance certifications. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, whereas the main part number does not specify these attributes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1676164-5 and RN73C2A11K8BTDF are Active status products from the same manufacturer and series. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and regulatory requirements rather than electrical performance.

The RN73C2A11K8BTDF substitute part provides ROHS3 compliance certification and confirmed REACH Unaffected status, making it suitable for applications with regulatory compliance mandates. The substitute part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Both parts are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring an 11.8 kOhms ±0.1% thin film resistor with 0.1W power rating in 0805 package format. Direct substitution on printed circuit boards is supported without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN73C2A11K8BTDF be used as a direct replacement for 1676164-5 on a circuit board?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same resistance value (11.8 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), power rating (0.1W), composition (thin film), package type (0805), temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and physical dimensions. Direct substitution on the printed circuit board is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and compliance certifications. The RN73C2A11K8BTDF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The 1676164-5 does not specify these attributes. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: The RN73C2A11K8BTDF in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the standard format for automated assembly operations and high-volume manufacturing. This packaging format supports pick-and-place equipment and reduces manual handling.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations that differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C and share the same Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited). Environmental performance is equivalent.

Q: What does the ±0.1% tolerance specification mean for circuit design?

A: The ±0.1% tolerance indicates that the actual resistance value will be within 0.1% of the nominal 11.8 kOhms specification. This is a tight tolerance suitable for precision analog circuits, measurement applications, and reference networks where high accuracy is required.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the same RN73 series and maintain identical electrical characteristics, package dimensions, and termination configuration. Existing circuit designs require no modification for substitution.
