Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 4116R-2-203 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 20kΩ
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Number of resistors: 15
• Circuit topology: Bussed configuration
• Power rating per element: 125mW
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Package type: 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm)
• Pin count: 16
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Resistor-ratio-drift: 50ppm/°C

The 4116R-2-203LF meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is RoHS compliance status and lead finish specification (LF denotes lead-free).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4116R-2-203 and 4116R-2-203LF are active production parts from Bourns Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

The 4116R-2-203LF is specified for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This part incorporates lead-free solder and meets current environmental regulations in markets where RoHS compliance is mandatory.

The 4116R-2-203 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required or where legacy designs specify non-compliant components.

Both parts are REACH Affected and carry EAR99 export classification. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on procurement timelines and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4116R-2-203LF directly replace the 4116R-2-203 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 4116R-2-203LF uses lead-free construction and meets ROHS3 compliance, while the 4116R-2-203 does not. Substitution is valid when RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

Q: What is the difference between the 4116R-2-203 and 4116R-2-203LF?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and lead finish. The 4116R-2-203LF is ROHS3 compliant with lead-free construction. All electrical parameters, resistance values, tolerances, temperature coefficients, and package dimensions are identical.

Q: Are these parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 16-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package with identical pin configuration, dimensions, and mounting requirements.

Q: What applications are these resistor arrays suitable for?

A: These 15-resistor bussed networks with 20kΩ resistance and ±2% tolerance are used in applications requiring integrated resistor networks with stable temperature performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: Can I use these parts in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operation from -55°C to 125°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and resistor-ratio-drift of 50ppm/°C.

Q: What is the power dissipation capability per resistor element?

A: Each resistor element in the array is rated for 125mW power dissipation.
