Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 4306R-101-223LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 22kΩ
• Matching tolerance: ±2%
• Same number of resistors: 5
• Identical circuit topology: Bussed configuration
• Equivalent power rating: 200mW per element
• Same temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Same pin count and electrical interface: 6-SIP
• Equivalent package class: 6-SIP through-hole

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tube) and minor dimensional variations that do not affect electrical performance or board-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4606X-AP1-223LF and 4306R-101-223LF are Active products manufactured by Bourns Inc. and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: Choose Cut Tape format for automated pick-and-place assembly; choose Tube format for manual assembly or specific supply chain requirements
• Inventory availability: The 4306R-101-223LF currently has higher stock availability (1726 Pcs versus 957 Pcs)
• Compliance scope: The 4306R-101-223LF is REACH Affected, while the 4606X-AP1-223LF is REACH Unaffected; verify compliance requirements for your application jurisdiction
• Dimensional constraints: Minor dimensional differences exist; verify PCB footprint and board layout clearances if space is constrained

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4306R-101-223LF be used as a direct replacement for the 4606X-AP1-223LF on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, pin configuration, and 6-SIP package class. The minor dimensional variations (approximately 0.014" in length and 0.013" in width) do not affect board-level compatibility for standard through-hole designs.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tube packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape cut to specific lengths, optimized for automated assembly equipment. Tube packaging supplies components in plastic tubes, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 4306R-101-223LF is REACH Affected, while the 4606X-AP1-223LF is REACH Unaffected. Verify your application's regulatory requirements before selection.

Q: Do these parts have identical temperature stability?

A: Yes. Both parts feature ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across the identical -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: From an electrical standpoint, yes. However, verify your quality assurance and traceability requirements, as these are different manufacturer part numbers from different product series (4600X versus 4300R).
