Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCF14JT240R is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 240 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Carbon Film
• Temperature coefficient: 0 / -400ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Allowed Variation):

• Package configuration: Axial or Axial with Radial Bend
• Physical dimensions: Variation permitted within axial resistor standards
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT)

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Manufacturer: Stackpole Electronics Inc (same manufacturer series)

The PCF14JT240R (Tape & Reel packaging) is substitutable with CF14JT240R and CFM14JT240R, both available in Cut Tape packaging. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—PCF14JT240R, CF14JT240R, and CFM14JT240R—are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and maintain identical electrical specifications, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and procurement requirements rather than electrical performance.

PCF14JT240R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and supports both Axial and Radial Bend configurations, making it suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-based component feeding.

CF14JT240R is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format with standard Axial configuration, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

CFM14JT240R is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format with a smaller physical footprint (0.067" Dia x 0.130" L versus 0.091" Dia x 0.236" L), classified under the CFM series. This variant is suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining all electrical and compliance specifications.

All parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PCF14JT240R be replaced with CF14JT240R in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: PCF14JT240R uses Tape & Reel (TR) while CF14JT240R uses Cut Tape (CT). Assembly process compatibility should be verified based on your equipment capabilities.

Q: What is the difference between CF14JT240R and CFM14JT240R?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. The CFM14JT240R is physically smaller (0.067" Dia x 0.130" L) compared to CF14JT240R (0.091" Dia x 0.236" L). Selection depends on available board space and mechanical layout requirements.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same circuit applications?

A: Yes. PCF14JT240R, CF14JT240R, and CFM14JT240R are electrically equivalent and can be used interchangeably in circuits requiring a 240 Ohms ±5% 0.25W resistor with the specified temperature coefficient and operating range.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) affects only procurement, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical performance and specifications remain identical across all three parts.

Q: Are these parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: Can CFM14JT240R be used in applications with space constraints?

A: Yes. The CFM14JT240R offers a smaller physical footprint while maintaining all electrical specifications and compliance certifications, making it suitable for compact circuit designs.
