Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CAT16-240J4GLF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Resistance Value: 24 Ohm (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
Circuit Configuration: Isolated 4-resistor network (exact match required)
Number of Pins: 8 (exact match required)
Package Type: 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount (exact match required)
Temperature Coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory alignment)

The identified substitutes meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in power per element (62.5mW vs. 63mW) and physical dimensions within tolerance do not affect functional equivalence in isolated resistor network applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CAT16-240J4LF is the primary substitute for CAT16-240J4GLF. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. within the CAT16 series and share identical electrical specifications. The CAT16-240J4LF is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. This part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

742C083240JP manufactured by CTS Resistor Products is a secondary substitute option. This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with equivalent functional performance. The 742C083240JP offers slightly higher power per element (63mW vs. 62.5mW), providing additional thermal margin. This part is qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 and supports DDR SDRAM, DRAM, and MDDR applications. The 742C083240JP is also in active production with robust inventory availability.

Both substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CAT16-240J4LF directly replace CAT16-240J4GLF in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CAT16-240J4LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the CAT16-240J4GLF. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and package configuration. The primary difference is product status: CAT16-240J4LF is in active production while CAT16-240J4GLF is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between CAT16-240J4GLF and CAT16-240J4LF packaging?

A: The CAT16-240J4GLF was supplied in standard packaging, while CAT16-240J4LF is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount packages with concave, long side terminals. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly.

Q: Is 742C083240JP suitable for applications requiring automotive qualification?

A: Yes. The 742C083240JP is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is specified for automotive, DDR SDRAM, DRAM, and MDDR applications. If your application requires automotive-grade components, 742C083240JP provides this certification.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between the substitutes?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within manufacturing tolerance. CAT16-240J4GLF and CAT16-240J4LF are nominally 0.126" L x 0.061" W (3.20mm x 1.55mm) with 0.024" (0.60mm) maximum seated height. The 742C083240JP is 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" (0.70mm) maximum seated height. These variations remain within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 package footprints.

Q: Do all substitutes meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts—CAT16-240J4GLF, CAT16-240J4LF, and 742C083240JP—are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. All maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
