Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ242CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.4k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistor elements: 4
• Circuit configuration: Isolated
• Number of pins: 8
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Power per element may exceed the original specification (62.5mW minimum requirement)
• Product status may differ (active vs. obsolete)
• Packaging format may vary (Tape & Reel acceptable for procurement)

The RAVF164DJT2K40 from Stackpole Electronics Inc satisfies all mandatory parameters while providing enhanced power dissipation capability (100mW per element) and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT2K40 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) is a direct functional equivalent to the RP164PJ242CS. Selection of the Stackpole substitute provides the following advantages:

Compliance & Certification: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Product Lifecycle: The RAVF164DJT2K40 maintains active product status with established supply chain availability (939 pcs in stock), whereas the RP164PJ242CS is obsolete. This transition eliminates long-term procurement risk.

Performance Enhancement: The Stackpole component delivers 100mW power per element versus the Samsung specification of 62.5mW per element. This increased power rating provides additional thermal margin in applications operating at or near maximum current levels.

Automotive Qualification: The RAVF164DJT2K40 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, extending application scope to automotive-grade designs if required.

Physical & Electrical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), pin count (8), and electrical parameters (2.4k Ohm, ±5% tolerance, ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient) ensure direct PCB-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT2K40 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ242CS on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package geometry (1206 / 3216 Metric, Convex, Long Side Terminals), pin configuration (8-pin isolated network), and electrical specifications (2.4k Ohm, ±5% tolerance, ±200ppm/°C). No PCB layout modification is required.

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

A: The increased power dissipation capability of the RAVF164DJT2K40 provides additional thermal headroom. In applications where resistor elements operate at maximum current, this higher rating reduces junction temperature rise and extends component reliability margins.

Q: Are there any temperature range differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with matching temperature coefficient specifications of ±200ppm/°C.

Q: Does the Stackpole part meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT2K40 is ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the Samsung component's compliance profile.

Q: Why is the Stackpole component listed as "Active" while the Samsung part is "Obsolete"?

A: The RP164PJ242CS has been discontinued by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. The RAVF164DJT2K40 remains in active production by Stackpole Electronics Inc, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Is the Tape & Reel packaging of the Stackpole part compatible with automated assembly?

A: Yes. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for surface mount component automated placement and soldering processes. This packaging format is compatible with all standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT2K40 be used in automotive applications?

A: Yes. The Stackpole component carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, enabling use in automotive-grade designs. The Samsung part does not specify automotive qualification.
