Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG3216P-1693-W-T1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 169 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thin Film (required for performance characteristics)
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 (required for application class)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or greater range acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (required for regulatory compliance)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Tolerance: ±0.05% or tighter (equal or tighter acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C or lower (equal or lower acceptable)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

Substitute parts must satisfy all primary criteria. Variations in tolerance and temperature coefficient are permissible when the substitute part maintains equal or superior performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG3216N-1693-W-T1 (Upgrade Substitute)

This part is the primary substitute for the obsolete RG3216P-1693-W-T1. It maintains identical electrical specifications (169 kOhms ±0.05%, 0.25W) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package). The RG3216N-1693-W-T1 offers superior temperature coefficient performance (±10ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C), providing enhanced stability across the operating temperature range. The part is currently in active production status with established supply availability. All regulatory requirements are met: ROHS3 compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

RG3216P-1693-B-T1 (Similar Substitute)

This part provides functional equivalence with a tolerance specification of ±0.1% compared to the ±0.05% requirement of the main part. The RG3216P-1693-B-T1 maintains identical resistance value (169 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Temperature coefficient performance is equivalent (±25ppm/°C). This substitute is suitable for applications where the ±0.1% tolerance specification is acceptable. The part is in active production with higher inventory availability (2801 Pcs) compared to the upgrade substitute. Full compliance with ROHS3 and AEC-Q200 requirements is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG3216N-1693-W-T1 be used as a direct replacement for RG3216P-1693-W-T1?

A: Yes. The RG3216N-1693-W-T1 is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts share identical resistance (169 kOhms), tolerance (±0.05%), power rating (0.25W), and package format (1206). The substitute offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±10ppm/°C). All certifications and compliance requirements are maintained.

Q: What is the difference between RG3216N-1693-W-T1 and RG3216P-1693-B-T1?

A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. RG3216N-1693-W-T1 maintains ±0.05% tolerance matching the original part, while RG3216P-1693-B-T1 has ±0.1% tolerance. Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the original. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements. RG3216N-1693-W-T1 is recommended for applications requiring ±0.05% precision.

Q: Are packaging differences between these parts significant?

A: The main part (RG3216P-1693-W-T1) uses bulk packaging, while both substitute parts use Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both packaging formats are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. No functional or electrical differences result from packaging format variation.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both RG3216N-1693-W-T1 and RG3216P-1693-B-T1 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification identical to the original part. Both are suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: RG3216N-1693-W-T1 has a temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C, while both the original part and RG3216P-1693-B-T1 have ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient indicates superior stability across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. For applications sensitive to resistance drift with temperature variation, RG3216N-1693-W-T1 provides enhanced performance.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and have MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory and compliance status is identical across all parts.
