Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of CF12JT36R0 with CFM12JT36R0 is valid based on the following criteria:

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 36 Ohm resistance value, ±5% tolerance, and 0.5W power rating. Both utilize carbon film composition with flame retardant coating and safety features. Operating temperature range, temperature coefficient, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) are equivalent across both parts.

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format. CF12JT36R0 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CFM12JT36R0 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both maintain the axial through-hole package configuration with identical electrical and thermal performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CF12JT36R0 and CFM12JT36R0 are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 36 Ohm, 0.5W axial resistors. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance.

CF12JT36R0 in Tape & Reel format is appropriate for high-volume automated assembly processes. CFM12JT36R0 in Cut Tape format is suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or situations where individual component access is required.

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory compatibility across industrial and commercial applications. Active production status for both parts ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CFM12JT36R0 replace CF12JT36R0 in my circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and thermally identical with 36 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, and identical operating temperature range. Substitution is valid from an electrical standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Yes. CF12JT36R0 has dimensions of 0.106" Dia x 0.335" L (2.70mm x 8.50mm). CFM12JT36R0 has dimensions of 0.091" Dia x 0.256" L (2.30mm x 6.50mm). Both maintain axial through-hole configuration but with different physical profiles.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CF12JT36R0 and CFM12JT36R0 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process and volume requirements. Use CF12JT36R0 for automated high-volume assembly with tape reel equipment. Use CFM12JT36R0 for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume production where cut tape format is more practical.
