CAT16-102J4GLF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT16-102J4GLF is a 1k Ohm isolated 4-resistor network array in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by Bourns Inc. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part delivers 62.5mW power per element with ±5% tolerance and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient across an operating range of -55°C to 125°C.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CAT16-102J4GLF is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Resistance value: 1k Ohm
Tolerance: ±5%
Number of resistors: 4
Circuit type: Isolated
Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Concave, Long Side Terminals
Number of pins: 8
Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
Mounting type: Surface Mount
RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All qualified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in power per element (62.5mW to 63mW), physical dimensions within tolerance, and operating temperature upper limits do not disqualify substitution when the primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: CAT16-102J4LF

The CAT16-102J4LF is the direct active equivalent from Bourns Inc., the original manufacturer. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package configuration while offering active product status with higher inventory availability (142,217 units). Selection of this part eliminates any cross-manufacturer compatibility concerns and ensures continuity with the original design intent.

Secondary Recommendations: EXB-V8V102JV and 742C083102JP

Both EXB-V8V102JV (Panasonic Electronic Components) and 742C083102JP (CTS Resistor Products) are active products meeting all core substitution parameters. These parts are suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required or where supply chain diversification is beneficial. EXB-V8V102JV offers the highest inventory level (323,010 units). The 742C083102JP variant includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it appropriate for automotive applications.

Tertiary Recommendation: TC164-JR-071KL

The TC164-JR-071KL from YAGEO meets all substitution criteria and extends the operating temperature range to 155°C. This part is qualified for automotive AEC-Q200 applications. However, inventory availability is limited (4,576 units). Selection is appropriate for applications requiring extended temperature performance or automotive qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CAT16-102J4LF directly replace CAT16-102J4GLF in existing designs?

A: Yes. CAT16-102J4LF is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging designations GLF and LF?

A: The GLF designation indicates the original packaging format, while LF represents the active production variant. Both use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package geometry and pin configuration.

Q: Are cross-manufacturer substitutes suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: All listed substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity specifications. Selection depends on application-specific qualification requirements and supply chain policies. Automotive-qualified variants (742C083102JP and TC164-JR-071KL) carry AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Does the 63mW power rating of 742C083102JP affect substitution suitability?

A: No. The 63mW power per element specification of 742C083102JP exceeds the 62.5mW requirement of the original part, providing equivalent or superior performance margin. This represents a compatible variation within the substitution criteria.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: EXB-V8V102JV from Panasonic Electronic Components maintains the highest inventory level at 323,010 units, followed by 742C083102JP at 252,604 units.

Q: Can TC164-JR-071KL be used in applications limited to -55°C to 125°C operating range?

A: Yes. TC164-JR-071KL is rated to -55°C to 155°C, which encompasses the -55°C to 125°C requirement. The extended upper temperature limit does not restrict use in lower-temperature applications.
