• Identical tolerance: ±2%
• Identical number of resistors: 3
• Identical power per element: 300mW
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Identical circuit type: Isolated
• Identical pin count: 6
• Identical package type: 6-SIP
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain functional and electrical equivalence within the specified parameter tolerances for this resistor array category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4606X-AP2-682LF and 4306R-102-682LF are active production parts from Bourns Inc. with ROHS3 compliance. The primary differences are packaging format and series designation. The 4606X-AP2-682LF is supplied in Tape & Box format, while the 4306R-102-682LF is supplied in Tube packaging. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and assembly process compatibility. The 4306R-102-682LF provides an additional specification for Resistor-Ratio-Drift at 50ppm/°C, which may be beneficial for applications requiring tighter matching characteristics. REACH compliance status differs between the two parts and should be evaluated against end-use regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 4306R-102-682LF replace the 4606X-AP2-682LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The 6-SIP through-hole package and pin configuration are identical, allowing direct PCB compatibility.

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

A: Packaging format affects component handling and assembly automation. Tape & Box packaging is typically used for automated pick-and-place systems, while Tube packaging is used for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. The electrical and mechanical properties of the component remain unchanged.

Q: Does the Resistor-Ratio-Drift specification on the 4306R-102-682LF affect substitution?

A: The 4306R-102-682LF specifies a Resistor-Ratio-Drift of 50ppm/°C, which was not provided for the 4606X-AP2-682LF. This additional specification on the substitute part indicates tighter matching characteristics and does not prevent substitution. Applications requiring this level of matching precision may benefit from the 4306R-102-682LF.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 4606X-AP2-682LF is REACH Unaffected, while the 4306R-102-682LF is REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should confirm compatibility with the 4306R-102-682LF before substitution.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: The 4606X-AP2-682LF has 1003 units in stock, while the 4306R-102-682LF has 1828 units in stock. Both parts are available as new original components.
