Bourns 4606X-101-223 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 4606X-101-223 is a 5-resistor network array with 22kΩ resistance per element, rated at 200mW power dissipation per element, and ±2% tolerance. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility within the 6-SIP package format.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (22kΩ), tolerance (±2%), number of resistors (5), circuit topology (bussed), power rating per element (200mW), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), pin count (6), package type (6-SIP), and through-hole mounting compatibility.

Parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Bourns Substitutes: Parts maintaining identical specifications with improved product status (active vs. obsolete) and enhanced compliance certifications.

Cross-Manufacturer Equivalents: Vishay Dale parts meeting all electrical and mechanical parameters with minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances for 6-SIP packages.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 4606X-101-223LF (Bourns Inc.)

This part provides direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 4606X-101-223 while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. It maintains identical electrical specifications and package dimensions, requiring no circuit redesign.

Secondary Recommendations:

4306R-101-223LF (Bourns Inc.) — Active status with ROHS3 compliance. Introduces specified resistor-ratio-drift of 50ppm/°C and minor dimensional variations (0.584" L × 0.085" W vs. 0.598" L × 0.098" W). Suitable for applications where tighter resistor matching is not critical.

CSC06A0122K0GEJ (Vishay Dale) — Cross-manufacturer equivalent with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Specified resistor-ratio-drift of ±50ppm/°C. Dimensions: 0.590" L × 0.098" W. Functionally equivalent with established supply availability.

MSP06A0122K0GEJ (Vishay Dale) — Cross-manufacturer equivalent with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Specified resistor-ratio-drift of ±50ppm/°C. Dimensions: 0.590" L × 0.090" W. Tube packaging provides alternative supply format.

Compliance Considerations:

Parts designated with "LF" suffix (4606X-101-223LF, 4306R-101-223LF, CSC06A0122K0GEJ, MSP06A0122K0GEJ) meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Non-compliant variants (4306R-101-223, CSC06A0122K0GPA) are available but subject to regulatory restrictions in certain markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4306R-101-223LF be used as a direct replacement for 4606X-101-223?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all core electrical specifications: 22kΩ resistance, ±2% tolerance, 200mW power per element, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The 4306R series introduces a specified resistor-ratio-drift of 50ppm/°C and has minor dimensional variations within acceptable 6-SIP package tolerances. Circuit-level compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tube packaging?

A: Bulk packaging (4606X-101-223LF, CSC06A0122K0GEJ, CSC06A0122K0GPA) is supplied without individual component containment. Tube packaging (4306R-101-223LF, MSP06A0122K0GEJ) provides individual component protection in plastic tubes. Both formats are mechanically and electrically identical; selection depends on handling, storage, and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are Vishay Dale parts (CSC and MSP series) electrically equivalent to Bourns parts?

A: Yes. CSC06A0122K0GEJ, CSC06A0122K0GPA, and MSP06A0122K0GEJ meet all specified electrical parameters: 22kΩ resistance, ±2% tolerance, 200mW power per element, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Resistor-ratio-drift is specified as ±50ppm/°C. Mechanical compatibility with 6-SIP footprints is confirmed.

Q: What does "ROHS3 Compliant" mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3, restricting specified hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. Parts marked ROHS3 Compliant (4606X-101-223LF, 4306R-101-223LF, CSC06A0122K0GEJ, MSP06A0122K0GEJ) are suitable for applications subject to EU and equivalent regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the original 4606X-101-223 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Bourns Inc. The active equivalent 4606X-101-223LF provides identical functionality with current manufacturing support and improved compliance certifications.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: All listed substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible. However, assembly consistency and supply chain management typically favor single-part selection per design revision to maintain traceability and simplify procurement.
