Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 6-2176088-0 with the Susumu RG1608P-3651-B-T5 is permissible based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical Specifications:

• Identical resistance value: 3.65 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±0.1%
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical composition: Thin Film

Compatible Package Specifications:

• Identical package designation: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Identical number of terminations: 2
• Mechanical dimensions within acceptable tolerance for PCB footprint compatibility

Compliance Alignment:

• Both components are ROHS3 Compliant
• Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Both components are REACH Unaffected

The substitute part operates at a lower power rating (0.1W versus 0.167W), which does not restrict its use in applications designed for the primary component, as the substitute can handle all power dissipation requirements of circuits designed for the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Component Selection: The TE Connectivity 6-2176088-0 remains the specified component for applications where the original design parameters are maintained and component availability is confirmed.

Substitute Component Selection: The Susumu RG1608P-3651-B-T5 is a valid substitute when the TE Connectivity component is unavailable. The substitute meets all critical electrical parameters and maintains identical package specifications. The substitute component includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur features, which provide additional robustness for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

Compliance Considerations: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental restrictions. Both components carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Power Rating Consideration: The substitute component's lower power rating (0.1W versus 0.167W) does not restrict its application in circuits designed for the primary component. The substitute can safely operate in all circuits where the primary component was specified, provided the actual power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu RG1608P-3651-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 6-2176088-0?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (3.65 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and package designation (0603 / 1608 Metric). The substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible for direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these components?

A: The TE Connectivity component is rated at 0.167W (1/6W), while the Susumu substitute is rated at 0.1W (1/10W). The substitute's lower power rating does not restrict its use in applications designed for the primary component. The substitute can handle all power dissipation requirements of circuits where the original component was specified, provided actual power dissipation remains within the 0.1W limit.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these components?

A: Both components use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package. The TE Connectivity component has a maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm), while the Susumu component has a maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). Both dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for standard 0603 PCB footprints and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Do both components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Both components are suitable for applications subject to environmental and regulatory restrictions.

Q: What additional features does the Susumu substitute provide?

A: The Susumu RG1608P-3651-B-T5 includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur construction. These features provide enhanced reliability for automotive applications and environments with sulfur exposure, though they do not affect compatibility with the original component specification.

Q: Are both components available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 6-2176088-0 and the Susumu RG1608P-3651-B-T5 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Can these components be used interchangeably in high-precision circuits?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical tolerance (±0.1%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), making them suitable for high-precision applications requiring tight resistance tolerance and stable performance across temperature variations.
