Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 2176089-8 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 12.4 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts with equal or greater power rating are acceptable. The main part is rated at 0.167W (1/6W). Substitutes with lower power ratings are not acceptable for direct replacement in applications requiring the full 0.167W dissipation capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 2176089-8 (Primary Part): The TE Connectivity 2176089-8 is the specified component with Active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. This part maintains full 0.167W power dissipation capability and is suitable for applications requiring the complete power rating specification.

Susumu RG1608P-1242-B-T5 (Substitute Part): The Susumu RG1608P-1242-B-T5 provides electrical and mechanical compatibility with identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. This part is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur features. However, the power rating is 0.1W (1/10W), which is lower than the main part's 0.167W rating. This substitute is suitable for applications where power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W. Applications requiring the full 0.167W dissipation capability must use the primary TE Connectivity part or identify alternative substitutes with matching or higher power ratings.

Both parts share identical package dimensions within functional tolerance, identical electrical specifications for resistance and tolerance, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu RG1608P-1242-B-T5 directly replace the TE Connectivity 2176089-8 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is limited by power rating. The Susumu part is rated at 0.1W (1/10W) while the TE Connectivity part is rated at 0.167W (1/6W). The Susumu substitute is suitable only for applications where actual power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W. Applications requiring the full 0.167W dissipation capability must use the TE Connectivity part or identify alternative substitutes with equal or greater power ratings.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package format. The TE Connectivity part measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm) with maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). The Susumu part measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). These dimensional variations are within functional tolerance for 0603 package specifications and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 2176089-8 and Susumu RG1608P-1242-B-T5 are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The Susumu part includes additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur features, which provide enhanced reliability for automotive applications but do not affect general compliance compatibility.

Q: What are the critical electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of resistance value (12.4 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both parts meet these requirements. Power rating must be equal to or greater than the application requirement; the Susumu substitute has a lower power rating and is suitable only for applications not exceeding 0.1W dissipation.

Q: Are there any packaging format differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format suitable for automated assembly. The 0603 (1608 Metric) package format is identical for both parts, ensuring compatibility with standard pick-and-place equipment and PCB assembly processes.
