Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 4606X-101-151 is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (150 Ohm), tolerance (±2%), number of resistors (5), circuit configuration (bussed), power rating per element (200mW), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), pin count (6), package type (6-SIP), and through-hole mounting compatibility. All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Bourns 4600X Series): Parts that maintain identical specifications with variations in product status and RoHS compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Bourns 4300R Series and Vishay Dale CSC Series): Parts that meet all critical electrical parameters with minor dimensional variations and different resistor-ratio-drift specifications where applicable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 4606X-101-151LF

The 4606X-101-151LF is the direct successor to the obsolete 4606X-101-151, maintaining identical electrical specifications while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and production continuity, with 2614 units currently in stock.

Secondary Recommendation: 4306R-101-151LF

The 4306R-101-151LF provides an alternative from the Bourns 4300R series with ROHS3 compliance and active status. This part meets all critical electrical parameters and is suitable for applications where the 4606X-101-151LF is unavailable. Inventory availability is 1309 units.

Alternative Option: CSC06A01150RGPA

The Vishay Dale CSC06A01150RGPA offers cross-manufacturer compatibility with all specified electrical parameters. This part is suitable for applications requiring a non-Bourns alternative and maintains active product status. Inventory availability is 1043 units.

Legacy Compatibility: 4306R-101-151

The 4306R-101-151 maintains functional equivalence but lacks RoHS3 compliance. This part is appropriate only for legacy systems or applications where RoHS compliance is not required. Inventory availability is 869 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4606X-101-151LF be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 4606X-101-151?

A: Yes. The 4606X-101-151LF maintains identical electrical specifications including 150 Ohm resistance, ±2% tolerance, 200mW power per element, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS3 compliance. Pin configuration and 6-SIP package are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: The 4606X-101-151 and 4606X-101-151LF measure 0.598" L x 0.098" W (15.19mm x 2.49mm) with 0.200" maximum seated height. The 4306R series (4306R-101-151 and 4306R-101-151LF) measure 0.584" L x 0.085" W (14.83mm x 2.16mm) with 0.195" maximum seated height. The Vishay Dale CSC06A01150RGPA measures 0.590" L x 0.098" W (14.99mm x 2.49mm) with 0.195" maximum seated height. These dimensional variations are within typical through-hole PCB tolerance ranges and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitute options?

A: Yes. The 4606X-101-151LF and 4306R-101-151LF are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The 4606X-101-151, 4306R-101-151, and CSC06A01150RGPA are RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, select either the 4606X-101-151LF or 4306R-101-151LF.

Q: What is the difference between the 4606X and 4306R series?

A: Both series provide identical 150 Ohm, ±2% bussed 5-resistor networks in 6-SIP packages. The 4300R series specifies a resistor-ratio-drift of 50ppm/°C, while the 4600X series does not specify this parameter. Both maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The 4300R series represents an alternative product line from Bourns with slightly tighter matching specifications.

Q: Is the Vishay Dale CSC06A01150RGPA electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. The CSC06A01150RGPA meets all critical electrical specifications: 150 Ohm resistance, ±2% tolerance, 5 resistors, bussed configuration, 200mW power per element, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The part is suitable for applications requiring a cross-manufacturer alternative with active product status.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: The 4606X-101-151LF has the highest inventory with 2614 units in stock, followed by the 4306R-101-151LF with 1309 units and the CSC06A01150RGPA with 1043 units.
