Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RP164PJ681CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 680 Ohm
• Number of resistors: 4
• Circuit type: Isolated
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Number of pins: 8
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±5% (main part) to ±1% (upgrade option)
• Power per element: 62.5mW (main part) to 100mW (upgrade option)
• Manufacturer and series designation
• Product status (obsolete to active)
• Packaging format (bulk to tape & reel)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents maintaining identical electrical specifications, and upgrade options providing enhanced performance characteristics within compatible mechanical and thermal parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

YC164-JR-07680RL (YAGEO) - Direct Equivalent:

The YC164-JR-07680RL maintains identical electrical specifications to the RP164PJ681CS with matching tolerance (±5%), power per element (62.5mW), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C). This part is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The component is available in tape & reel packaging with 11,920 pieces in stock. Height seated maximum is 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to 0.024" (0.60mm) for the original part, representing a 0.008" (0.10mm) increase. This dimensional variance is within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 package components.

RAVF164DFT680R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) - Upgrade Option:

The RAVF164DFT680R provides enhanced performance specifications with improved tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) and increased power per element (100mW versus 62.5mW). All other critical parameters remain identical: 680 Ohm resistance, 4-resistor isolated configuration, 1206 package, 8-pin count, -55°C to 155°C operating range, and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This part is active product status with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Height seated maximum matches the original part at 0.024" (0.60mm). Selection of this upgrade option is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or higher power dissipation capability within the same package footprint.

Both substitute parts satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and maintain full compatibility with the original RP164PJ681CS design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can YC164-JR-07680RL be used as a direct replacement for RP164PJ681CS?

A: Yes. The YC164-JR-07680RL maintains identical electrical specifications including 680 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 62.5mW power per element, and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Both components use the same 1206 (3216 Metric) package with 8 pins in isolated configuration. The maximum seated height difference of 0.008" (0.10mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The YC164-JR-07680RL is a direct equivalent with identical specifications to the original part. The RAVF164DFT680R is an upgrade option offering tighter tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) and higher power per element (100mW versus 62.5mW). All other parameters including resistance value, package type, pin count, and operating temperature range remain identical across all three parts.

Q: Are both substitute parts automotive qualified?

A: Yes. Both YC164-JR-07680RL and RAVF164DFT680R carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are classified as active product status. The original RP164PJ681CS does not specify automotive qualification but is classified as obsolete.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.004" (0.10mm) height difference between parts?

A: The YC164-JR-07680RL has a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to 0.024" (0.60mm) for both the original RP164PJ681CS and the RAVF164DFT680R upgrade. This 0.004" (0.10mm) variance is within typical PCB assembly clearance specifications for 1206 package components and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can RAVF164DFT680R be used in applications originally designed for RP164PJ681CS?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DFT680R maintains all mandatory matching parameters including resistance value, package type, pin configuration, and operating temperature range. The enhanced specifications (±1% tolerance and 100mW power per element) provide improved performance characteristics and are backward compatible with designs specified for the original part.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The YC164-JR-07680RL is supplied in tape & reel (TR) packaging. The RAVF164DFT680R packaging format is not specified in available documentation. Verify packaging requirements with component suppliers based on specific production and assembly needs.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RP164PJ681CS, YC164-JR-07680RL, and RAVF164DFT680R are all ROHS3 compliant with moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited). All parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
