Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ364CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 360k Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistors: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Number of pins: 8
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power per element: May exceed the original 62.5mW specification (higher power rating provides design margin)
• Product status: Active status preferred over obsolete for long-term availability
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 and REACH status must be maintained

The RAVF164DJT360K from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute. This part maintains all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters while providing increased power dissipation capability (100mW per element versus 62.5mW), enhanced supply availability through active product status, and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT360K is a qualified substitute for the RP164PJ364CS based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical resistance value (360k Ohm), tolerance (±5%), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The four-resistor isolated configuration with eight pins is identical, ensuring direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package dimensions, footprint, and mounting characteristics are identical. Both components use 1206 (3216 Metric) convex long-side terminal configuration, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

Power Dissipation Advantage: The RAVF164DJT360K provides 100mW power per element compared to the original 62.5mW specification. This increased power rating provides additional thermal margin and design flexibility without introducing any compatibility issues.

Supply Chain Status: The RAVF164DJT360K holds active product status with established inventory availability, addressing the obsolescence of the original Samsung part. Stackpole Electronics Inc maintains ongoing production and distribution support.

Automotive Qualification: The RAVF164DJT360K carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, extending application scope beyond the original part's capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT360K be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ364CS without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT360K is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RP164PJ364CS. All critical parameters—resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, circuit configuration, and package dimensions—are identical. No circuit redesign or PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The increased power per element rating in the RAVF164DJT360K provides additional thermal headroom. This allows the component to dissipate more power without exceeding temperature limits, offering improved reliability margin in applications operating near the original part's power specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in package footprint between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) convex long-side terminal packaging with matching dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W / 3.20mm x 1.60mm) and nearly identical seated heights (0.61mm vs. 0.60mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 qualification of the RAVF164DJT360K affect its use in non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates automotive-grade testing and reliability standards. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications; it only confirms that the part meets additional automotive industry requirements. The part remains fully compatible with all original applications.

Q: What is the difference between the RP series and RAVF series designations?

A: RP and RAVF are manufacturer-specific series designations from Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Stackpole Electronics Inc respectively. These designations identify the product line but do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when all specified parameters match.

Q: Are there any temperature coefficient differences that would affect circuit performance?

A: No. Both parts specify ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring identical thermal drift characteristics across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. Circuit performance and accuracy remain equivalent.

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT360K be used in existing inventory management systems designed for the RP164PJ364CS?

A: Yes, provided the inventory system is updated to recognize the new part number. The electrical and mechanical equivalence allows the RAVF164DJT360K to fulfill all functional requirements of the original part. Update part master records and cross-reference documentation accordingly.
