Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RP164PJ912CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 9.1k Ohm (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Number of resistors: 4 elements (exact match required)
• Circuit type: Isolated configuration (exact match required)
• Package designation: 1206 (3216 Metric) with Convex, Long Side Terminals (exact match required)
• Number of pins: 8 (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Power per element: Substitute must equal or exceed 62.5mW minimum
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C or better (lower absolute value acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS and regulatory compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status

The RAVF164DJT9K10 from Stackpole Electronics Inc satisfies all mandatory criteria and exceeds minimum power specifications, qualifying as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RAVF164DJT9K10 qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete RP164PJ912CS based on complete parameter alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains identical resistance value, tolerance, array configuration, package geometry, and thermal characteristics while providing enhanced power dissipation capability (100mW versus 62.5mW per element).

The Stackpole component carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification, supporting equivalent handling and storage protocols. The substitute's AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides additional quality assurance documentation, though this represents an enhancement rather than a requirement for substitution.

The increased power rating of the RAVF164DJT9K10 presents no compatibility concerns for applications designed around the RP164PJ912CS specifications, as substitute components with equal or superior power ratings operate within the original design envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RAVF164DJT9K10 be used as a direct replacement for the RP164PJ912CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RAVF164DJT9K10 matches all critical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, array configuration, package dimensions, pin count, and thermal specifications. The higher power rating (100mW versus 62.5mW) does not create compatibility issues for designs specified around the original part.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a higher power rating?

A: The RAVF164DJT9K10 is rated for 100mW per element compared to the RP164PJ912CS at 62.5mW. This represents a design enhancement by Stackpole Electronics and does not affect substitution eligibility. Applications requiring only 62.5mW operation remain fully compatible.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with Convex, Long Side Terminals configuration. Physical dimensions are 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60-0.61mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the "Isolated" circuit type?

A: The Isolated designation indicates that each of the four resistor elements operates independently with no internal connections between elements. This topology is critical for applications requiring separate signal paths or independent biasing networks. Substitute parts must maintain this isolated configuration.

Q: Does the obsolete status of the RP164PJ912CS affect the validity of this substitution?

A: The obsolete status of the original part makes identification of active alternatives necessary for production continuity. The RAVF164DJT9K10 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1). The RAVF164DJT9K10 includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional certification not present in the original part specification.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in tape and reel packaging?

A: The RP164PJ912CS is specified with standard packaging notation, while the RAVF164DJT9K10 is explicitly packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are compatible with automated assembly equipment. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.
