RP164PJ150CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RP164PJ150CS is a 4-resistor isolated network array manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component features 15 Ohm resistance per element with ±5% tolerance and 62.5mW power rating per element in a 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design support and procurement requirements. The part operates across -55°C to 155°C and complies with RoHS3 and REACH standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ150CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistors: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Number of pins: 8
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power Per Element: Substitute must equal or exceed 62.5mW
• Product Status: Active substitutes are preferred for obsolete parts
• Packaging format: May differ (Tape & Reel acceptable for Surface Mount components)

The RAVF164DJT15R0 from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute. It maintains all mandatory parameters while providing 100mW power per element (exceeding the 62.5mW requirement) and holds Active product status with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT15R0 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete RP164PJ150CS. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Compliance & Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental standards.

Product Status: The RP164PJ150CS is obsolete, creating supply chain risk. The RAVF164DJT15R0 holds Active product status with established manufacturing continuity.

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters match identically: 15 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. The substitute's 100mW power per element exceeds the original 62.5mW specification, providing thermal margin in applications.

Automotive Qualification: The RAVF164DJT15R0 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, extending its applicability to automotive and high-reliability environments.

Physical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), pin count (8), and mounting type (Surface Mount) ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Packaging Format: The substitute is available in Tape & Reel format, standard for surface mount production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT15R0 directly replace the RP164PJ150CS without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package geometry (1206 / 3216 Metric), pin count (8), and terminal configuration (Convex, Long Side Terminals). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating (100mW vs. 62.5mW) in the substitute?

A: The substitute's 100mW power per element exceeds the original specification. This provides additional thermal headroom and does not create incompatibility. Applications designed for 62.5mW operation remain within safe operating limits with the 100mW substitute.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Resistance (15 Ohm), tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and circuit topology (Isolated, 4-resistor network) are identical.

Q: Why is the RP164PJ150CS listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The Samsung Electro-Mechanics RP series has been discontinued. The RAVF164DJT15R0 from Stackpole Electronics Inc provides active manufacturing support and supply continuity.

Q: Does the substitute meet automotive standards?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT15R0 carries AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for automotive applications. The original RP164PJ150CS does not list automotive qualification in the provided specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats (- vs. Tape & Reel)?

A: The original part lists packaging as "-" (unspecified). The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, the standard packaging for surface mount component production. This is compatible with automated assembly processes.

Q: Are compliance certifications maintained with the substitute?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance in applications subject to environmental standards.

Q: Can the substitute be used in designs originally specified for the RP164PJ150CS?

A: Yes, provided the design does not depend on the specific manufacturer (Samsung Electro-Mechanics). All electrical, thermal, and mechanical parameters are equivalent or superior. Verification of design-specific requirements is the responsibility of the design engineer.
