Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCP4651T-104E/ST is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Resistance value: 100k Ohm (exact match required)
  • Circuit configuration: 2 circuits (exact match required)
  • Tap count: 257 taps (exact match required)
  • Interface protocol: I2C (exact match required)
  • Supply voltage range: 1.8V ~ 5.5V (exact match required)
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
  • Package type: 14-TSSOP (exact match required)
  • Mounting method: Surface Mount (exact match required)

The substitute part MCP4651-104E/ST meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Tube packaging. Both parts share identical base product designation (MCP4651) and are manufactured by Microchip Technology.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MCP4651T-104E/ST and MCP4651-104E/ST are active products manufactured by Microchip Technology with identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

  • MCP4651T-104E/ST: Select when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or high-volume production environments.
  • MCP4651-104E/ST: Select when Tube packaging is acceptable or preferred for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or specific procurement workflows.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MCP4651T-104E/ST and MCP4651-104E/ST electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical resistance values (100k Ohm), circuit configuration (2 circuits), tap count (257), I2C interface, supply voltage range (1.8V ~ 5.5V), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. MCP4651T-104E/ST is supplied in Tape & Reel configuration, while MCP4651-104E/ST is supplied in Tube packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I substitute MCP4651-104E/ST for MCP4651T-104E/ST in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process and procurement specifications accommodate Tube packaging instead of Tape & Reel. The electrical performance and pinout are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the 14-TSSOP package specification?

A: 14-TSSOP is a 14-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package with 0.173 inches (4.40mm) width. Both parts use this identical surface-mount package.

Q: Does packaging format affect the component's electrical characteristics?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Tube) affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical specifications remain unchanged.
