Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PCF14JT5K60 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (5.6 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), composition (carbon film), temperature coefficient (0 / -400ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must remain identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Physical dimensions (0.091" Dia x 0.236" L / 2.30mm x 6.00mm), termination count (2), and axial configuration must be maintained.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status must be preserved.

The CF14JT5K60 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is packaging format: PCF14JT5K60 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CF14JT5K60 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both maintain the same component performance characteristics and regulatory certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CF14JT5K60 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the PCF14JT5K60. Both components are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc within the CF series and maintain identical electrical performance specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional performance.

PCF14JT5K60 (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes where tape-fed component handling is required. CF14JT5K60 (Cut Tape format) is appropriate for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or situations where individual component access is preferred.

Both parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected regulatory standing. No functional performance degradation occurs when substituting between these part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF14JT5K60 be used as a direct replacement for PCF14JT5K60?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only: PCF14JT5K60 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CF14JT5K60 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Functional performance in the circuit is identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Component specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between PCF14JT5K60 and CF14JT5K60?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory certifications and environmental compliance are equivalent.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Resistance (5.6 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), composition (carbon film), temperature coefficient (0 / -400ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), physical dimensions (0.091" Dia x 0.236" L), and regulatory compliance must all remain identical for valid substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring radial bend configuration?

A: PCF14JT5K60 supports both axial and radial bend configurations. CF14JT5K60 is specified for axial configuration only. If radial bend configuration is required, PCF14JT5K60 is the appropriate selection.
