CAT16-472J2LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CAT16-472J2LF is a 2-resistor network array manufactured by Bourns Inc., featuring 4.7k Ohm resistors with ±5% tolerance in a 0606 surface mount package. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The isolated circuit configuration with ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient serves applications requiring matched resistor pairs in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CAT16-472J2LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 4.7k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistors: 2
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Package / Case: 0606, Concave
• Number of pins: 4
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitutes meet all these core parameters. Minor variations in power per element (62.5mW vs. 63mW) and seated height remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for the 0606 package specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 742C043472JP and EXB-V4V472JV are active production alternatives to the obsolete CAT16-472J2LF. Selection between these substitutes should be based on:

742C043472JP (CTS Resistor Products): This part carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and is specified for DDR SDRAM, DRAM, and MDDR applications. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and maintains full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

EXB-V4V472JV (Panasonic Electronic Components): This part matches the original Bourns specification exactly for power per element (62.5mW) and maintains identical electrical characteristics. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with 0606 supplier device package designation and maintains full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the CAT16-472J2LF within the specified operating parameters. The choice between them depends on application-specific requirements, supply chain availability, and existing qualification documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 742C043472JP and EXB-V4V472JV be used interchangeably with CAT16-472J2LF?

A: Yes. Both substitutes meet all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part, including resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and pin configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the power per element difference between CAT16-472J2LF (62.5mW) and 742C043472JP (63mW)?

A: The 0.5mW difference is within normal manufacturing tolerance for resistor networks and does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: The CAT16-472J2LF and EXB-V4V472JV both specify 0606 supplier device package. The 742C043472JP does not specify a supplier device package designation. All three parts use identical 0606 physical package with Concave configuration. Seated height varies slightly: CAT16-472J2LF at 0.030" (0.75mm) versus both substitutes at 0.028" (0.70mm). This difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Do the substitute parts carry automotive qualification?

A: The 742C043472JP carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The EXB-V4V472JV does not list automotive applications in the provided specifications.

Q: Are all parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.
