Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.54 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 format: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

The substitute part RG1608P-1541-B-T5 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Power rating differences (0.1W versus 0.167W) do not preclude substitution when the application power dissipation requirement does not exceed the substitute part's rating. The substitute part includes additional automotive AEC-Q200 certification and anti-sulfur features, which represent enhanced specifications beyond the base requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0 remains the primary specification when the design requires the full 0.167W power rating and RP73P series designation. This part is Active status with established supply availability.

Substitute Part Selection: The Susumu RG1608P-1541-B-T5 is a valid substitute when the following conditions are met:

1. Application power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W (1/10W rating)
2. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is acceptable or beneficial to the application
3. Anti-sulfur composition is compatible with the operating environment
4. Manufacturer series change from RP73P to RG is acceptable per design documentation

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across resistance, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent reliability in standard storage and handling conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu RG1608P-1541-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0?

A: The Susumu RG1608P-1541-B-T5 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0 when application power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W. Both parts share identical resistance (1.54 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and 0603 package format. The primary difference is power rating: the substitute is rated 0.1W versus the original 0.167W.

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

A: The TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0 is rated for 0.167W (1/6W) while the Susumu RG1608P-1541-B-T5 is rated for 0.1W (1/10W). Substitution is valid only when the actual power dissipation in the application circuit does not exceed 0.1W. If the design requires sustained operation above 0.1W, the original TE Connectivity part must be used to ensure reliable performance within rated specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The Susumi RG1608P-1541-B-T5 includes additional automotive AEC-Q200 certification and anti-sulfur composition, which represent enhanced specifications. These additional features do not create incompatibility; they indicate the substitute part meets higher automotive reliability standards.

Q: Do these parts have identical physical dimensions?

A: Both parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package format with 2 terminations. Dimensional specifications are nearly identical: TE Connectivity 3-2176088-0 measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm) with 0.022" maximum seated height, while Susumu RG1608P-1541-B-T5 measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with 0.020" maximum seated height. These minor variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for 0603 components and do not affect placement or soldering.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts support the identical operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C and maintain the same temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C. The substitute part is therefore suitable for high-temperature applications within this range, provided power dissipation remains below 0.1W.

Q: What is the difference between the RP73P and RG series designations?

A: RP73P is the TE Connectivity Passive Product series designation (Holsworthy manufacturing location), while RG is the Susumu series designation. These represent different manufacturer product lines but with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for this 1.54 kOhms ±0.1% thin film resistor in 0603 package format.
