Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the RP164PJ162CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.6k Ohm (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Circuit type: Isolated (exact match required)
• Number of resistor elements: 4 (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals (exact match required)
• Number of pins: 8 (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)

The RAVF164DJT1K60 manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The power per element specification (100mW versus 62.5mW) represents an increase in power handling capability, which does not restrict substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT1K60 is a direct functional equivalent to the RP164PJ162CS for applications requiring a 4-element 1.6k Ohm isolated resistor array in 1206 surface mount configuration.

Selection Basis:

1. Product Status: The RP164PJ162CS is classified as obsolete. The RAVF164DJT1K60 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

2. Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters align exactly: resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The isolated circuit topology is preserved.

3. Mechanical Compatibility: Package dimensions, pin configuration, and mounting type are identical. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

4. Compliance Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements.

5. Power Handling: The RAVF164DJT1K60 provides 100mW per element compared to 62.5mW in the original part. This increased power rating does not restrict substitution and provides additional thermal margin in power-dissipation-sensitive applications.

6. Automotive Qualification: The RAVF164DJT1K60 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, extending application scope beyond the original part's specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT1K60 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ162CS without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT1K60 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. No circuit redesign or PCB layout changes are required. The component is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent.

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

A: The increased power per element in the RAVF164DJT1K60 represents enhanced thermal capability. Applications designed for the original 62.5mW specification operate within the substitute's power envelope. This does not create incompatibility; it provides additional design margin.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount packages with convex, long-side terminals. Physical dimensions, pin count, and mounting type are identical.

Q: Why is the RP164PJ162CS listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Samsung Electro-Mechanics' discontinuation of this specific model. The RAVF164DJT1K60 provides equivalent functionality with active manufacturing status.

Q: Does the RAVF164DJT1K60 meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification. The substitute maintains equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

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

A: The RAVF164DJT1K60 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly. This packaging format does not affect component electrical or mechanical characteristics and is compatible with automated assembly equipment.

Q: Can the isolated circuit configuration be confirmed in both parts?

A: Yes. Both the RP164PJ162CS and RAVF164DJT1K60 feature isolated circuit topology, meaning each of the four resistor elements operates independently without internal connections between elements.
