Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MBA02040C3748FRP00 is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 3.74 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.4W
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.063" Dia x 0.142" L (1.60mm x 3.60mm)
• Identical number of terminations: 2
• Equivalent compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute lies in packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Cut Tape (CT). Both formats deliver identical electrical and mechanical performance; packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MBA02040C3748FRP00 and MBA02040C3748FC100 are active products from the same manufacturer series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on assembly process requirements:

• MBA02040C3748FRP00 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations requiring continuous component feed.
• MBA02040C3748FC100 (Cut Tape): Suitable for lower-volume production, manual assembly, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and are suitable for applications requiring -55°C to 155°C operating temperature performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MBA02040C3748FC100 be used as a direct replacement for MBA02040C3748FRP00?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid provided the assembly process accommodates the packaging format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies the same components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value (3.74 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.4W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both MBA02040C3748FRP00 and MBA02040C3748FC100 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. For automated high-volume production, use Tape & Reel format. For manual assembly or lower volumes, Cut Tape format is appropriate. Electrical performance is identical.
