CAT16-330J2LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT16-330J2LF is a 33 Ohm isolated 2-resistor network array manufactured by Bourns Inc. in a 0606 surface mount package. 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 for the CAT16-330J2LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 33 Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistors: 2
• Circuit configuration: Isolated
• Package / Case: 0606, Concave
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Number of pins: 4
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts meet all these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the CAT16-330J2LF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, providing supply continuity for the obsolete CAT16-330J2LF. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

The 742C043330JP from CTS Resistor Products is qualified for automotive AEC-Q200 applications and DDR/MDRAM memory systems. The EXB-V4V330JV from Panasonic Electronic Components maintains equivalent electrical specifications with active product status and higher inventory availability.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on application-specific requirements, supply chain considerations, and any existing qualification documentation for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 742C043330JP or EXB-V4V330JV be used as direct replacements for the CAT16-330J2LF?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 33 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 2-resistor isolated configuration, 0606 concave package, 4-pin surface mount, ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between the substitute parts?

A: The 742C043330JP delivers 63mW per element compared to 62.5mW for both the CAT16-330J2LF and EXB-V4V330JV. This 0.5mW difference is within normal manufacturing tolerance and does not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there height differences between these parts?

A: The CAT16-330J2LF has a maximum seated height of 0.030" (0.75mm), while both substitute parts have a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). Both are compatible with standard 0606 package footprints.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which substitute part has better supply availability?

A: The EXB-V4V330JV from Panasonic has significantly higher inventory availability at 18,157 pieces compared to 743 pieces for the CTS part.
