CAT10-200J4LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT10-200J4LF is a 4-resistor network array manufactured by Bourns Inc., featuring 20 Ohm isolated resistors in a 0804 surface mount package. This component is designed for applications requiring multiple matched resistive elements in a compact form factor. The part is currently in active production status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific application performance requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CAT10-200J4LF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 Ohm (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Number of resistors: 4 (exact match required)
• Circuit type: Isolated (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0804, Concave, Long Side Terminals (exact match required)
• Number of pins: 8 (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

The EXB-N8V200JX from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, resistor count, circuit topology, package configuration, pin count, and operating temperature specifications. Differences in power per element (62.5mW vs. 31mW) and temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C vs. ±200ppm/°C) represent performance variations that do not preclude substitution when application requirements permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CAT10-200J4LF and EXB-N8V200JX are active production components with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific power dissipation requirements and thermal stability needs. The CAT10-200J4LF provides higher power per element (62.5mW) and tighter temperature coefficient specification (±250ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications with elevated power demands or stringent thermal drift requirements. The EXB-N8V200JX offers lower power per element (31mW) and improved temperature coefficient performance (±200ppm/°C), appropriate for power-constrained or thermally sensitive applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EXB-N8V200JX directly replace the CAT10-200J4LF in existing designs?

A: Yes, the EXB-N8V200JX is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute. Both parts feature identical 20 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 4-resistor isolated configuration, 0804 package with concave long side terminals, 8-pin count, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. PCB layout and schematic modifications are not required.

Q: What are the differences in power handling between these parts?

A: The CAT10-200J4LF is rated for 62.5mW power per element, while the EXB-N8V200JX is rated for 31mW power per element. Applications requiring higher power dissipation should specify the CAT10-200J4LF. Applications with lower power requirements can utilize the EXB-N8V200JX.

Q: How do the temperature coefficients differ?

A: The CAT10-200J4LF has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the EXB-N8V200JX has ±200ppm/°C. The EXB-N8V200JX provides superior thermal stability. Applications requiring minimal resistance drift over temperature should consider the EXB-N8V200JX specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the CAT10-200J4LF and EXB-N8V200JX are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for these components?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage, transport, or assembly.
