CAT10-152J4LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT10-152J4LF is a 1.5k Ohm isolated 4-resistor network array manufactured by Bourns Inc. in 0804 surface mount package with concave, long side terminals. This component is actively produced and widely used in applications requiring matched resistor networks with controlled tolerance and temperature characteristics. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package footprint and pin configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CAT10-152J4LF is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.5k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Circuit configuration: Isolated 4-resistor network
• Package footprint: 0804 with concave, long side terminals
• Pin count: 8 pins
• Mounting technology: Surface mount
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The EXB-N8V152JX meets all substitution criteria. Variations in power per element and temperature coefficient do not preclude substitution when the application does not impose specific power dissipation or temperature stability requirements beyond the stated operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CAT10-152J4LF and EXB-N8V152JX are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

The CAT10-152J4LF provides higher power per element (62.5mW) and is suitable for applications with higher power dissipation requirements or where the additional thermal margin is beneficial.

The EXB-N8V152JX offers superior temperature coefficient stability (±200ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and lower power per element (31mW), making it appropriate for precision applications or designs with thermal constraints.

Both components are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified operating temperature range when application power requirements are satisfied by the substitute part's power rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EXB-N8V152JX replace the CAT10-152J4LF in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application power dissipation per resistor element does not exceed 31mW. The EXB-N8V152JX has identical electrical specifications (1.5k Ohm, ±5% tolerance, isolated 4-resistor configuration) and identical mechanical footprint (0804 package, 8 pins, surface mount).

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts?

A: The CAT10-152J4LF has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the EXB-N8V152JX has ±200ppm/°C. The EXB-N8V152JX exhibits tighter temperature stability. This difference is relevant only in applications requiring high precision over the full operating temperature range.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the CAT10-152J4LF and EXB-N8V152JX are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and use identical 0804 surface mount package geometry with concave, long side terminals.

Q: What is the maximum power dissipation per resistor element for each part?

A: The CAT10-152J4LF is rated at 62.5mW per element, while the EXB-N8V152JX is rated at 31mW per element. Design thermal analysis must confirm that the substitute part's power rating is sufficient for the application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the CAT10-152J4LF and EXB-N8V152JX are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).
