Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG1608V-362-C-T5 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: resistance value (3.6 kOhms), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±5ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), automotive qualification (AEC-Q200), and anti-sulfur construction. Tolerance specifications may be tightened without functional impact, as lower tolerance values represent improved precision while maintaining backward compatibility. All substitute parts must be from the Susumu RG series and retain identical mechanical dimensions and electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—RG1608V-362-B-T5, RG1608V-362-P-T1, and RG1608V-362-W-T1—are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete RG1608V-362-C-T5. Each substitute maintains identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The primary distinction among substitutes is tolerance specification: RG1608V-362-B-T5 offers ±0.1% tolerance, RG1608V-362-W-T1 provides ±0.05% tolerance, and RG1608V-362-P-T1 delivers ±0.02% tolerance. All substitute parts are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Selection between substitutes depends on circuit precision requirements; tighter tolerance specifications do not introduce incompatibility and may enhance circuit performance in precision applications. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG1608V-362-B-T5, RG1608V-362-P-T1, or RG1608V-362-W-T1 be used as direct replacements for the obsolete RG1608V-362-C-T5?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible. They share identical resistance value (3.6 kOhms), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), thermal characteristics (±5ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). The substitutes feature tightened tolerance specifications, which represent improved precision without introducing functional incompatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The substitutes differ only in tolerance specification. RG1608V-362-C-T5 (main part) specifies ±0.25% tolerance. RG1608V-362-B-T5 provides ±0.1% tolerance, RG1608V-362-W-T1 provides ±0.05% tolerance, and RG1608V-362-P-T1 provides ±0.02% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts conform to 0603 (1608 Metric) package format with dimensions of 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain automotive compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification, anti-sulfur construction, and ROHS3 compliance. They are suitable for automotive applications with identical reliability characteristics.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for precision-critical applications?

A: Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements. RG1608V-362-P-T1 (±0.02%) provides the highest precision, followed by RG1608V-362-W-T1 (±0.05%), then RG1608V-362-B-T5 (±0.1%). All are functionally compatible with the original specification.

Q: Are packaging formats different between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part RG1608V-362-C-T5 is supplied in standard packaging. All three substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly processes.
