Engineering Selection Recommendations

YC164-JR-07300RL (YAGEO Direct Equivalent)

The YC164-JR-07300RL is a direct functional equivalent to the RP164PJ301CS. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 300 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 62.5mW power per element, and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The YC164-JR-07300RL maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions and pin configuration are identical. The maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) for the YAGEO part is 0.004" greater than the Samsung original, which remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 packages. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original Samsung component is no longer available.

RAVF164DFT300R (Stackpole Upgrade Alternative)

The RAVF164DFT300R represents an upgraded alternative with enhanced electrical performance. While maintaining the same 300 Ohm resistance, package type, and pin configuration, this Stackpole part offers tighter tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) and higher power rating (100mW per element versus 62.5mW). The RAVF164DFT300R carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and active product status. The maximum seated height matches the Samsung original at 0.024" (0.60mm). This part is appropriate for applications requiring improved tolerance specifications or higher power dissipation capability within the same physical footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the YC164-JR-07300RL be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the RP164PJ301CS?

A: Yes. The YC164-JR-07300RL meets all core compatibility requirements: identical 300 Ohm resistance, 4-element isolated configuration, 8-pin count, 1206 package with convex long-side terminals, and matching operating temperature range. Electrical specifications are identical. The 0.004" difference in maximum seated height is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for this package class.

Q: What is the primary difference between the YC164-JR-07300RL and RAVF164DFT300R?

A: The RAVF164DFT300R provides tighter tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) and higher power per element (100mW versus 62.5mW). Both maintain identical resistance value, package type, and pin configuration. The RAVF164DFT300R includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection depends on application requirements for tolerance and power dissipation.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RP164PJ301CS, YC164-JR-07300RL, and RAVF164DFT300R are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the height difference between the YC164-JR-07300RL (0.028" max) and the original RP164PJ301CS (0.024" max) affect PCB assembly?

A: The 0.004" (0.10mm) difference is negligible for standard surface mount assembly processes. Both parts use the same 1206 package footprint and convex long-side terminal configuration. This height variation is within typical component tolerance ranges for this package class and does not require PCB layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the YC164-JR-07300RL provides direct electrical equivalence with active product status and established supply chain availability. The RAVF164DFT300R is appropriate if design specifications require ±1% tolerance or higher power dissipation capability.

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

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The RAVF164DFT300R carries additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RP164PJ301CS is classified as obsolete, while both YC164-JR-07300RL and RAVF164DFT300R maintain active product status.
