Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ362CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 3.6k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistor elements: 4
• Circuit configuration: Isolated
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Pin count: 8
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Allowable Variation:

• Power per element may exceed the original specification (62.5mW minimum requirement)
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) does not affect functional compatibility
• Product status transition from obsolete to active does not impact electrical performance

The RAVF164DJT3K60 from Stackpole Electronics Inc satisfies all mandatory criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT3K60 is qualified as a direct substitute for the RP164PJ362CS based on the following engineering factors:

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range—are identical. The increased power rating (100mW vs. 62.5mW per element) provides additional thermal margin without introducing compatibility issues.

Physical Compatibility: Identical package dimensions, pin configuration, and mounting type ensure drop-in replacement capability on existing PCB layouts without design modification.

Compliance Status: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an enhancement in quality assurance standards.

Product Lifecycle: The transition from obsolete (RP164PJ362CS) to active status (RAVF164DJT3K60) ensures long-term supply availability and manufacturing continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT3K60 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ362CS without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package dimensions (1206/3216 Metric), pin count (8), pin spacing, and mounting type (surface mount). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Does the higher power rating (100mW vs. 62.5mW) of the RAVF164DJT3K60 create any compatibility concerns?

A: No. A higher power rating indicates greater thermal capacity and does not affect circuit operation. The substitute part will perform identically to the original in all electrical respects.

Q: Are there any differences in temperature stability between these two parts?

A: No. Both components specify ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across the identical -55°C to 155°C range.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 qualification on the RAVF164DJT3K60?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive-grade reliability standard. This qualification indicates the substitute part meets enhanced quality and testing requirements, providing additional assurance for critical applications.

Q: Can the RP164PJ362CS and RAVF164DJT3K60 be mixed on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Identical electrical and physical specifications allow both parts to coexist in the same design without functional or compatibility issues.

Q: Are there any packaging format differences between these parts?

A: The RP164PJ362CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the RAVF164DJT3K60 is available in Tape & Reel format. This difference affects procurement and handling only; electrical and mechanical performance remain identical.
