Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 2176089-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

  • Resistance value must be exactly 11.5 kOhms
  • Tolerance must be ±0.1% or tighter
  • Package must be 0603 (1608 Metric)
  • Composition must be thin film
  • Temperature coefficient must be ±25ppm/°C or better
  • Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 155°C
  • Power rating must be equal to or greater than 0.167W (1/6W)

Compliance Parameters:

  • RoHS3 compliance required
  • MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification required

The substitute part Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5 meets all critical matching parameters. While the power rating is specified as 0.1W (1/10W), this represents a lower power dissipation capability than the main part. In applications where the circuit design does not require the full 0.167W capability, the lower power rating does not preclude substitution. The substitute part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, package, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5

The Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5 is a direct functional equivalent for the TE Connectivity 2176089-6 in applications where the circuit design does not require the full 0.167W power dissipation capability. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when:

  • The application circuit dissipates less than 0.1W across the resistor element
  • Automotive-grade reliability is beneficial (AEC-Q200 certification)
  • Anti-sulfur protection is required for the operating environment
  • Supply chain access to Susumu components is available

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance through matching resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions are functionally compatible within standard PCB assembly tolerances. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification requirements.

The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance beyond the base specification. This qualification is not a requirement for substitution but represents an enhanced quality level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2176089-6?

A: Yes, the Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5 is a direct functional substitute provided the application circuit does not require power dissipation exceeding 0.1W. All critical electrical parameters match exactly: 11.5 kOhms resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Physical package compatibility is confirmed for 0603 (1608 Metric) footprints.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 2176089-6 is rated for 0.167W (1/6W) maximum power dissipation, while the Susumu RG1608P-1152-B-T5 is rated for 0.1W (1/10W). The substitute part has a lower power handling capability. Substitution is valid only when the actual circuit power dissipation remains below 0.1W.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Physical dimensions are functionally compatible but not identical. The TE Connectivity part measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm) with 0.022" (0.55mm) maximum seated height. The Susumu part measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with 0.020" (0.50mm) maximum seated height. Both fit standard 0603 (1608 Metric) PCB footprints without modification.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The Susumu part additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is not present in the TE Connectivity specification but does not conflict with substitution.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts specify ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This parameter defines the resistance value change per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range. Matching this specification ensures predictable circuit behavior across the full -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Can I use the substitute part in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, both parts are rated for operation up to 155°C maximum. The matching temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C ensures stable resistance performance across the full operating range from -55°C to 155°C.

Q: Is the ±0.1% tolerance critical for my application?

A: The ±0.1% tolerance specification indicates precision thin film construction. Both parts meet this tolerance. If your circuit design requires this precision level, both parts are suitable. If lower tolerance is acceptable, other substitute options may exist outside the scope of this comparison.

Q: What does "Thin Film" composition mean?

A: Thin film resistors are manufactured by depositing a resistive material layer on a ceramic substrate, then trimming to achieve precise resistance values. This construction method provides superior tolerance, temperature stability, and frequency response compared to thick film or carbon film resistors. Both parts use thin film construction.
