Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RP73D2B604RBTDF is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Resistance value of 604 Ohms with tolerance equal to or tighter than ±0.1%, power rating of 0.25W minimum, and thin film composition.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type 1206 (3216 Metric) with two terminations, ensuring direct footprint compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Environmental Performance: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C minimum, RoHS3 compliance, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification.

Temperature Stability: Temperature coefficient of ±15ppm/°C or better to maintain performance across the operating temperature range.

The substitute part RG3216V-6040-P-T1 meets all these criteria with enhanced specifications in tolerance and temperature coefficient performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RP73D2B604RBTDF (TE Connectivity Passive Product): Select this part for standard applications requiring 604 Ohm thin film resistors with ±0.1% tolerance. The component is Active status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, suitable for general industrial and commercial applications across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.

RG3216V-6040-P-T1 (Susumu): Select this substitute part for applications requiring enhanced precision and stability. The ±0.02% tolerance provides tighter resistance control, and the ±5ppm/°C temperature coefficient delivers superior temperature stability compared to the original part. This component carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur features, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Both parts maintain identical package compatibility and thermal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG3216V-6040-P-T1 be used as a direct replacement for RP73D2B604RBTDF?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions, two-terminal configuration, 604 Ohm resistance value, 0.25W power rating, and -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range. The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical and environmental specifications of the original part.

Q: What are the tolerance differences between these parts?

A: The RP73D2B604RBTDF has ±0.1% tolerance, while the RG3216V-6040-P-T1 has ±0.02% tolerance. The substitute part provides four times tighter tolerance control, resulting in more precise resistance values across production batches.

Q: How do the temperature coefficients compare?

A: The RP73D2B604RBTDF has a temperature coefficient of ±15ppm/°C, while the RG3216V-6040-P-T1 has ±5ppm/°C. The substitute part exhibits superior temperature stability, maintaining more consistent resistance values across the full -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RP73D2B604RBTDF and RG3216V-6040-P-T1 are RoHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

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

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The RG3216V-6040-P-T1 carries this certification along with anti-sulfur features, indicating suitability for automotive and high-reliability applications where enhanced environmental resistance is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. The RP73D2B604RBTDF measures 0.120" L x 0.061" W with 0.026" maximum seated height. The RG3216V-6040-P-T1 measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W with 0.020" maximum seated height. These minor dimensional variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.
