Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ160CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 16 Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistor elements: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Package configuration: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Number of pins: 8
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power per element: Substitute parts may exceed the 62.5mW specification of the main part, provided the higher power rating does not introduce thermal or reliability concerns in the application circuit
• Product status: Active status substitutes are acceptable for obsolete parts
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is compatible with the original packaging specification

The RAVF164DJT16R0 from Stackpole Electronics Inc satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and represents a direct functional equivalent with enhanced power per element rating (100mW versus 62.5mW).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT16R0 is a direct functional substitute for the RP164PJ160CS based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical resistance value (16 Ohm), tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The four-element isolated configuration and eight-pin count are identical.

Package Compatibility: Both components utilize the 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package with convex, long side terminals. Physical dimensions and maximum seated height are equivalent, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modification.

Compliance Status: The RAVF164DJT16R0 maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the environmental and regulatory requirements of the original part. The Stackpole component carries Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components.

Product Availability: The transition from obsolete (RP164PJ160CS) to active product status (RAVF164DJT16R0) ensures long-term procurement continuity and supply chain stability.

Power Rating Enhancement: The increased power per element specification (100mW versus 62.5mW) provides thermal margin without introducing compatibility concerns, as the substitute operates within the same package envelope and temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT16R0 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ160CS without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package configuration (1206 Convex, Long Side Terminals), physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W), and pin count (8). No PCB layout changes are required for substitution.

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

A: The increased power rating indicates enhanced thermal capability. The substitute part can dissipate greater power within the same package without exceeding temperature limits. This provides design margin and does not create compatibility issues when substituting into circuits designed for the original 62.5mW specification.

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

A: Yes. Both parts specify 16 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified parameters.

Q: Does the Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification of the RAVF164DJT16R0 affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. Automotive qualification represents an additional quality and reliability standard. Parts meeting automotive specifications are suitable for general industrial and commercial applications without restriction.

Q: What is the difference between the original packaging and the Tape & Reel (TR) format of the substitute?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is a standard surface mount component delivery format suitable for automated assembly processes. The component itself is identical; only the packaging presentation differs. TR format is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment used in manufacturing.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RP164PJ160CS and RAVF164DJT16R0 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
