Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ6R2CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.2 Ohm
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Number of resistor elements: 4
• Circuit configuration: Isolated
• Number of pins: 8
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric), Convex, Long Side Terminals
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Mounting type: Surface Mount

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Power per element: May exceed 62.5mW (higher power rating is acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: May be lower in absolute value (improved stability is acceptable)
• Product status: Active status preferred over obsolete

The RAVF164DJT6R20 from Stackpole Electronics Inc satisfies all mandatory matching parameters while providing enhanced specifications in power rating and temperature coefficient performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT6R20 from Stackpole Electronics Inc is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete RP164PJ6R2CS. Selection of this alternative is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Advantage: The RAVF164DJT6R20 maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete Samsung component.

Compliance Alignment: Both components maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring no additional handling or environmental requirements are introduced through substitution.

Enhanced Performance Specifications: The Stackpole part provides improved specifications with 100mW power per element (versus 62.5mW) and ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient (versus ±300ppm/°C), delivering superior thermal stability and power handling capacity within the same physical footprint.

Automotive Qualification: The RAVF164DJT6R20 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: Identical package geometry, pin configuration, resistance value, tolerance, and operating temperature range ensure direct PCB-level compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT6R20 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ6R2CS without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package type (1206 Convex, Long Side Terminals), pin count (8), physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W), and electrical specifications (6.2 Ohm, ±5% tolerance, isolated 4-resistor configuration). No PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The higher power per element rating on the RAVF164DJT6R20 indicates improved thermal dissipation capability. This provides design margin for applications operating at or near the original component's power limits and does not introduce incompatibility.

Q: Does the improved temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C vs. ±300ppm/°C) affect circuit performance?

A: The lower temperature coefficient on the RAVF164DJT6R20 indicates reduced resistance drift across the operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). This represents an improvement in thermal stability and does not create compatibility issues with circuits designed for the original component.

Q: Are there any supply chain or packaging differences between these components?

A: The RP164PJ6R2CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the RAVF164DJT6R20 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are compatible with standard surface mount assembly processes. Verify packaging format requirements with your procurement or assembly team.

Q: Why is the Stackpole part listed as AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. This certification indicates the component has undergone additional reliability testing and is suitable for automotive applications. This qualification does not affect use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RP164PJ6R2CS and RAVF164DJT6R20 are ROHS3 compliant with identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), requiring no special handling modifications.
