Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCF14JT3R30 is determined by the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 3.3 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Carbon Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±400ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Safety
• Identical RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Same manufacturer: Stackpole Electronics Inc
• Equivalent termination count: 2 terminations

The CFM14JT3R30 qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical electrical parameters and compliance certifications. The primary difference is packaging format: PCF14JT3R30 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) with Panasert configuration, while CFM14JT3R30 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) with standard Axial configuration. Both parts belong to Stackpole's carbon film resistor series and are active products.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PCF14JT3R30 and CFM14JT3R30 are active products from Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements:

• PCF14JT3R30 is appropriate for applications requiring Tape & Reel packaging with Panasert configuration
• CFM14JT3R30 is appropriate for applications requiring Cut Tape packaging with standard Axial configuration

Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs where the packaging format is compatible with assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CFM14JT3R30 replace PCF14JT3R30 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 3.3 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, and ±400ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid if your assembly process accommodates Cut Tape (CT) packaging instead of Tape & Reel (TR).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly processes.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: No. PCF14JT3R30 has dimensions of 0.091" Dia x 0.236" L (2.30mm x 6.00mm), while CFM14JT3R30 has dimensions of 0.067" Dia x 0.130" L (1.70mm x 3.30mm). The CFM14JT3R30 is physically smaller. Verify that your circuit board layout and component placement accommodate the smaller dimensions.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both PCF14JT3R30 and CFM14JT3R30 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.10.0065) classifications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±400ppm/°C and operate across the range of -55°C to 155°C. This specification defines the resistance change per degree Celsius within the operating temperature range.
