CAT16-104J2LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT16-104J2LF is a 100k Ohm isolated 2-resistor network array manufactured by Bourns Inc. in 0606 package format. 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. Surface mount configuration and ROHS3 compliance support modern assembly requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CAT16-104J2LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: 100k Ohm resistance value, ±5% tolerance, 2-resistor isolated configuration, 4-pin count, 0606 package format with concave geometry, ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Power per element ratings of 62.5mW to 63mW fall within acceptable operational margins for this component category. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained across all alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 742C043104JP from CTS Resistor Products and EXB-V4V104JV from Panasonic Electronic Components are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete CAT16-104J2LF.

The 742C043104JP provides additional value through AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and documented application support for DDR SDRAM, DRAM, and MDDR circuits. This part carries higher inventory availability (13,965 units) and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format.

The EXB-V4V104JV from Panasonic delivers equivalent performance with matching power dissipation (62.5mW) and identical dimensional specifications. This option provides 4,313 units in stock with Tape & Reel packaging.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern assembly processes and environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 742C043104JP directly replace CAT16-104J2LF in existing designs? A: Yes. The 742C043104JP matches all critical electrical parameters (100k Ohm, ±5% tolerance, ±200ppm/°C) and physical specifications (0606 package, 4-pin configuration, identical footprint dimensions). Pin configuration and circuit isolation topology are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts? A: Both 742C043104JP and EXB-V4V104JV meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements. The 742C043104JP includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and documented DRAM/SDRAM applications. The EXB-V4V104JV provides equivalent performance without automotive certification. Selection depends on application requirements and supply chain availability.

Q: Are there height differences that affect PCB assembly? A: The CAT16-104J2LF has a maximum seated height of 0.030" (0.75mm), while both substitutes measure 0.028" (0.70mm). This 0.002" difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect placement or reflow processes.

Q: Do all parts meet current compliance standards? A: Yes. CAT16-104J2LF, 742C043104JP, and EXB-V4V104JV are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. REACH status is unaffected for all three parts.

Q: Which substitute offers better availability? A: The 742C043104JP from CTS provides 13,965 units in stock, compared to 4,313 units for the EXB-V4V104JV. Both exceed typical project requirements and support volume production.
