Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 7-2176088-9 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value of 5.9 kOhms
• Tolerance of ±0.1% or better
• Package form factor 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Thin film composition
• Temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C or wider
• Moisture Sensitivity Level MSL 1 or better
• RoHS3 compliance

Acceptable Variation:

• Power rating may be lower than the original 0.167W (1/6W) provided the substitute is rated for the intended application's actual power dissipation requirements
• Physical dimensions may vary within standard 0603 package tolerances
• Additional features such as automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) or anti-sulfur properties do not disqualify a substitute

The Susumu RG1608P-5901-B-T5 meets all mandatory matching criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Susumi RG1608P-5901-B-T5 qualifies as a direct substitute for the TE Connectivity 7-2176088-9 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components are Active products with identical resistance, tolerance, package, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity ratings.

The primary difference is the power rating: the Susumu substitute is rated at 0.1W (1/10W) compared to the original 0.167W (1/6W). This lower power rating is acceptable for applications where actual power dissipation does not exceed the substitute's rating. The Susumu component includes additional features including anti-sulfur properties and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provide enhanced reliability in specific environments without compromising compatibility.

Both components are available in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Selection between these parts should be based on application power dissipation requirements, supply chain availability, and any specific environmental or automotive qualification needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Susumu RG1608P-5901-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 7-2176088-9?

A: Yes, the Susumu RG1608P-5901-B-T5 is a direct substitute provided the application's actual power dissipation does not exceed 0.1W. All critical electrical parameters including resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range are identical. The 0603 package form factor ensures mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the lower power rating on the Susumu substitute?

A: The Susumu component is rated at 0.1W (1/10W) versus the original 0.167W (1/6W). This means the substitute can safely dissipate up to 0.1W continuously. If your application requires power dissipation between 0.1W and 0.167W, the original TE Connectivity part is required. For applications dissipating 0.1W or less, the Susumu substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: Both components use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package form factor. The TE Connectivity part measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). The Susumu part measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). These variations fall within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes, both the TE Connectivity 7-2176088-9 and Susumu RG1608P-5901-B-T5 are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The Susumu component additionally qualifies to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and includes anti-sulfur properties, making it suitable for automotive and harsh environment applications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient and why does it matter?

A: Both components have a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, meaning the resistance value changes by a maximum of 25 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in temperature. This specification is critical for precision applications requiring stable resistance values across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. The identical temperature coefficients ensure equivalent performance stability.

Q: Are these components suitable for automated assembly?

A: Yes, both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is the standard format for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The identical 0603 package ensures compatibility with existing assembly processes and equipment settings.
