Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ331CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 330 Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistor elements: 4
• Circuit configuration: Isolated
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Pin count: 8
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Allowable Variation:

• Power per element: Substitute parts may exceed the original 62.5mW specification, provided the higher power rating does not introduce thermal or reliability concerns in the application circuit.

The RAVF164DJT330R from Stackpole Electronics Inc meets all mandatory matching parameters and provides increased power dissipation capability (100mW per element), making it a direct functional substitute.
