Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1676209-5 and RN73C2A17K8BTDF are Active status products suitable for direct substitution based on electrical and mechanical equivalence.

Selection Criteria:

1676209-5 is appropriate for:

• Manual assembly or hand-soldering applications
• Low-volume production runs
• Applications where standard packaging is preferred

RN73C2A17K8BTDF is appropriate for:

• Automated pick-and-place assembly processes
• High-volume manufacturing requiring Tape & Reel format
• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance documentation
• Applications requiring REACH compliance confirmation

Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and maintain the same electrical specifications. The substitute part RN73C2A17K8BTDF provides enhanced compliance documentation (ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status) compared to the main part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN73C2A17K8BTDF be used as a direct replacement for 1676209-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 17.8 kOhms resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, 0.1W power rating, thin film composition, 0805 package, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format: standard versus Tape & Reel.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The 1676209-5 uses standard packaging suitable for manual handling and assembly. The RN73C2A17K8BTDF uses Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and high-volume production processes.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 17.8 kOhms ±0.1%, 0.1W power rating, ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: RN73C2A17K8BTDF is designed for automated assembly processes with its Tape & Reel packaging format.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. RN73C2A17K8BTDF provides ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected confirmation. The 1676209-5 lists RoHS status as Not applicable and REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN and 8533.21.0030 HTSUS classification.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with 2.00mm x 1.25mm dimensions and 0.65mm maximum seated height. PCB footprints designed for one part accommodate the other without modification.
