Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CF1/4CT52R162J is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 1.6 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W/1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Carbon Film (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: -450/+350 ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.091" Dia x 0.240" L (exact match required)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The identified substitute part CF1/4C162J maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The primary distinction is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., belong to the CF series, and carry Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CF1/4CT52R162J and CF1/4C162J are Active products manufactured by KOA Speer Electronics, Inc., and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulatory requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

CF1/4C162J is appropriate for applications where Bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred, or where Cut Tape packaging is not required. This part is available with 2,060 pieces in inventory. The CF1/4C162J includes Flame Proof and Safety features in its specification, providing additional safety characteristics for applications where these attributes are beneficial.

Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters and are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF1/4C162J replace CF1/4CT52R162J in my circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching resistance values (1.6 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (-450/+350 ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The primary difference is packaging format: Cut Tape versus Bulk.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Bulk packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on continuous tape that is cut into individual strips, suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment in production environments. Bulk packaging supplies loose components, typically used for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where tape packaging is not required.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both CF1/4CT52R162J and CF1/4C162J are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Do the physical dimensions differ between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical physical dimensions of 0.091" Dia x 0.240" L (2.30mm x 6.10mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and component placement specifications.

Q: What additional features does CF1/4C162J provide?

A: CF1/4C162J includes Flame Proof and Safety features in its specification. These characteristics provide enhanced safety performance in applications where flame resistance or safety ratings are required.

Q: Which part should I select if inventory is a concern?

A: CF1/4CT52R162J has higher current inventory availability at 5,773 pieces compared to CF1/4C162J at 2,060 pieces. Selection should be based on packaging requirements and production timeline needs.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical temperature coefficients of -450/+350 ppm/°C across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.
