Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PCF14JT8R20 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Carbon Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±400ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts maintain these electrical and environmental specifications. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, Axial, Radial Bend) do not affect electrical performance and represent alternative procurement and assembly options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—PCF14JT8R20, CF14JT8R20, and CFM14JT8R20—are electrically and functionally equivalent. Selection should be based on:

• Packaging format requirements: PCF14JT8R20 and CF14JT8R20 are supplied in Tape & Reel format; CFM14JT8R20 is supplied in Cut Tape format
• Package configuration: PCF14JT8R20 supports both axial and radial bend configurations; CF14JT8R20 and CFM14JT8R20 are axial only
• Inventory availability: CFM14JT8R20 offers the highest stock level at 13,907 pieces
• All parts maintain identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected) and are active in production

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF14JT8R20 be used as a direct replacement for PCF14JT8R20?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format (both Tape & Reel) and package configuration (CF14JT8R20 is axial only, while PCF14JT8R20 supports axial and radial bend).

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in procurement and assembly logistics.

Q: Is CFM14JT8R20 compatible with PCF14JT8R20 in all applications?

A: CFM14JT8R20 is electrically and functionally equivalent to PCF14JT8R20. The CFM series uses a smaller physical size (0.067" Dia x 0.130" L versus 0.091" Dia x 0.236" L) and is supplied in Cut Tape format. Compatibility depends on PCB layout constraints and assembly equipment specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. PCF14JT8R20, CF14JT8R20, and CFM14JT8R20 are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Which part should be selected for maximum inventory availability?

A: CFM14JT8R20 offers the highest stock level at 13,907 pieces, compared to 939 pieces for CF14JT8R20 and 738 pieces for PCF14JT8R20.
