Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCF14JT240K is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (240 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), composition (carbon film), temperature coefficient (0 / -850ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format: the PCF14JT240K is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the CF14JT240K substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc within the CF series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PCF14JT240K and CF14JT240K maintain Active product status with identical electrical performance and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability. The PCF14JT240K in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes, while the CF14JT240K in Cut Tape format accommodates manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for regulated markets. The identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature characteristics ensure functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF14JT240K replace PCF14JT240K in production? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance (240 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts? A: The packaging delivery method differs. PCF14JT240K arrives in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly. CF14JT240K arrives in Cut Tape (CT) format for manual handling or lower-volume assembly operations.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical? A: Yes. Both parts carry ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected designations, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance use.

Q: Do these parts have the same physical dimensions? A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.091" diameter by 0.236" length (2.30mm x 6.00mm) with identical axial configuration and two terminations.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume manufacturing? A: PCF14JT240K in Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated assembly lines. CF14JT240K in Cut Tape format is suitable for manual assembly or prototype applications.
