Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict parameter matching across electrical and mechanical specifications. The following criteria establish direct equivalency:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 10kΩ
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Number of resistors: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Package footprint: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of pins: 8
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Consideration:

• Power per element rating (62.5mW minimum acceptable)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C minimum, 155°C maximum preferred)
• Package terminal configuration (Concave or Convex acceptable for same footprint)

Three active substitute parts meet these criteria and are available from authorized distributors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RAVF164DFT10K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This part is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Stackpole. It maintains identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range while offering increased power dissipation capability (100mW vs. 62.5mW per element). The package terminal configuration differs (Convex vs. Concave), but both configurations are compatible with standard 1206 footprints. Product status is Active with full AEC-Q200 qualification. This option provides the highest compatibility assurance.

TC164-FR-0710KL (YAGEO): This part matches all electrical parameters and maintains the Concave terminal configuration of the original. Operating temperature range and power rating are identical to the main part. Product status is Active with AEC-Q200 qualification. This option provides direct parameter equivalency.

CAT16-1002F4LF (Bourns Inc.): This part matches all electrical parameters and package configuration. Product status is Active with ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range is limited to -55°C ~ 125°C (versus 155°C maximum for the main part). AEC-Q200 qualification status is not specified in available documentation. This option is suitable for applications not requiring the full 155°C upper temperature limit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RAVF164DFT10K0 be used as a direct replacement for RACF164DFT10K0?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (10kΩ ±1%, ±200ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and footprint dimensions. The primary difference is the package terminal configuration (Convex vs. Concave) and increased power rating (100mW vs. 62.5mW). Standard 1206 PCB layouts accommodate both terminal styles. RAVF164DFT10K0 is the manufacturer-recommended active substitute.

Q: What is the difference between Concave and Convex terminal configurations?

A: Terminal configuration refers to the physical shape of the resistor network body. Concave packages have an inward-curved profile, while Convex packages have an outward-curved profile. Both configurations maintain identical footprint dimensions (3.20mm x 1.60mm) and are compatible with standard 1206 land patterns. The difference does not affect electrical performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Is CAT16-1002F4LF suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification?

A: CAT16-1002F4LF meets ROHS3 compliance and shares all electrical parameters with AEC-Q200 qualified parts. However, AEC-Q200 qualification status is not specified in the provided documentation. For applications with mandatory AEC-Q200 requirements, RAVF164DFT10K0 or TC164-FR-0710KL are confirmed qualified options.

Q: What is the significance of the 100mW power rating on RAVF164DFT10K0 compared to 62.5mW on other options?

A: Power rating indicates the maximum power dissipation per resistor element. RAVF164DFT10K0 supports 100mW per element, providing additional thermal margin compared to 62.5mW alternatives. This higher rating does not affect compatibility; it indicates the part can handle greater power dissipation without exceeding temperature limits. For applications operating at or near the 62.5mW threshold, RAVF164DFT10K0 offers improved reliability margin.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging formats as the original?

A: Packaging formats differ. RACF164DFT10K0 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RAVF164DFT10K0 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. TC164-FR-0710KL is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. CAT16-1002F4LF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format selection depends on procurement volume and assembly line requirements.
