Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG3216P-3602-W-T1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 36 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.05%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Anti-sulfur coating: Required
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The RG3216N-3602-W-T1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all mandatory parameters. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active, enabling continued component availability. Secondary differences in temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus unspecified) represent improvements that do not compromise functional compatibility.

Both components carry identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1) and regulatory compliance certifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG3216N-3602-W-T1 be used as a direct replacement for RG3216P-3602-W-T1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (36 kOhms), tolerance (±0.05%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). Physical dimensions and termination count are identical, enabling direct substitution without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The RG3216P-3602-W-T1 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited remaining inventory. The RG3216N-3602-W-T1 maintains active production status, ensuring reliable supply chain access for new production runs and long-term component availability.

Q: How do the temperature coefficients differ between these parts?

A: The main part RG3216P-3602-W-T1 specifies ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while the substitute RG3216N-3602-W-T1 specifies ±10ppm/°C. Both values fall within acceptable ranges for precision thin film resistors. The substitute exhibits superior temperature stability, representing a performance improvement without introducing compatibility issues.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these parts?

A: The RG3216N-3602-W-T1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. The main part packaging format is not specified in available documentation. Both components use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package geometry and are compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Do both parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. Both RG3216P-3602-W-T1 and RG3216N-3602-W-T1 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur coating, meeting reliability and environmental requirements for automotive applications across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Q: Are there any regulatory compliance differences?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) codes. Moisture sensitivity level is identical at MSL 1 (unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.
