Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CAT16-100J2GLF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Resistance value and tolerance must match exactly at 10 Ohm ±5%. The circuit configuration must remain isolated with 2 resistor elements. The package footprint and physical dimensions (0606, Concave, 1.60mm x 1.60mm) must be identical to ensure PCB compatibility without layout modification. Temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) must be maintained. Power per element rating must meet or exceed 62.5mW. Pin count (4) and surface mount mounting type are non-negotiable. Compliance certifications including ROHS3, MSL 1, and REACH Unaffected status must be preserved.

The substitute part 742C043100JP from CTS Resistor Products satisfies all these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 742C043100JP from CTS Resistor Products is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete CAT16-100J2GLF. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications across resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating range. The CTS part provides a marginal increase in power per element (63mW versus 62.5mW) and a slightly lower seated height (0.028" versus 0.030"), both favorable characteristics for thermal and spatial considerations.

The CTS part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and automotive applications. The identical 0606 package footprint and pin configuration enable direct PCB substitution without layout modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 742C043100JP replace the CAT16-100J2GLF on existing PCBs? A: Yes. Both components share identical package dimensions (0606, 1.60mm x 1.60mm), pin count (4), and mounting type (surface mount). Direct substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

Q: Are the electrical specifications compatible? A: Yes. Resistance (10 Ohm), tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) are identical. The CTS part exceeds the power per element specification (63mW versus 62.5mW).

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution? A: The CAT16-100J2GLF is classified as obsolete. The 742C043100JP is an active product from CTS Resistor Products, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity.

Q: Are compliance certifications maintained? A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and hold REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Does the slightly lower height of the CTS part affect compatibility? A: No. The CTS part height (0.028" seated maximum) is lower than the Bourns part (0.030" seated maximum), which is favorable for PCB assembly and clearance considerations.

Q: Are there packaging differences? A: The CAT16-100J2GLF packaging is not specified in available data. The 742C043100JP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for surface mount production environments.
