RP164PJ204CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RP164PJ204CS is a 200k Ohm isolated resistor array manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, featuring four independent resistors in a 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package with convex, long side terminals. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part delivers 62.5mW power per element with ±5% tolerance and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, suitable for applications requiring isolated resistor networks in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ204CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 200k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistors: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Number of pins: 8
• 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 or Obsolete
• Packaging format: May differ (Tape & Reel vs. other formats)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all electrical and mechanical parameters align

The RAVF164DJT200K from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment of all mandatory parameters and superior power rating (100mW per element vs. 62.5mW).

• All mechanical parameters (package, dimensions, pin configuration) are identical
• Power rating is superior (100mW vs. 62.5mW per element), providing design margin
• Product status is Active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating match the original specification
• Automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200) and Tape & Reel packaging provide additional reliability assurance

The RAVF164DJT200K is a direct pin-for-pin and functionally equivalent replacement suitable for immediate substitution in PCB designs currently specified for RP164PJ204CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RAVF164DJT200K be used as a direct replacement for RP164PJ204CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT200K is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Pin configuration, package dimensions, and performance characteristics are fully compatible. No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: The higher power rating in the RAVF164DJT200K provides additional thermal margin and design flexibility. It does not affect circuit operation when used in applications originally designed for 62.5mW per element. The substitute will operate at lower junction temperatures under identical load conditions.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The RAVF164DJT200K includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is an additional certification not specified for the original RP164PJ204CS. This does not create incompatibility; it represents enhanced qualification.

Q: Does the packaging format difference (Tape & Reel for RAVF164DJT200K) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format refers to how the component is supplied for manufacturing (Tape & Reel vs. other formats). Once assembled onto the PCB, the component itself is identical. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification, and why is it important?

A: Both parts specify ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, meaning resistance changes by a maximum of 200 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. This specification ensures predictable performance across the -55°C to 155°C operating range and is critical for precision analog circuits.

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT200K be used in automotive applications?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT200K carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. The original RP164PJ204CS does not specify automotive qualification, so the substitute actually expands application scope.
