Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between CF12JT5R60 and CFM12JT5R60 is valid based on the following criteria:

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 5.6 Ohm resistance, ±5% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, carbon film composition, ±400ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range. Both are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc within the same product series family (CF and CFM variants) and carry equivalent safety and compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

The primary difference is packaging format: CF12JT5R60 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while CFM12JT5R60 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Physical dimensions vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances within the axial package specification. Both parts are active products with established supply chains.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CF12JT5R60 and CFM12JT5R60 are qualified substitutes for applications requiring 5.6 Ohm axial resistors with 0.5W power dissipation and ±5% tolerance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and assembly processes.

CF12JT5R60 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations utilizing standard pick-and-place equipment. CFM12JT5R60 in Cut Tape packaging accommodates lower-volume production runs, manual assembly processes, or applications where individual component handling is required.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory requirements. Active product status ensures continued availability and manufacturing support from Stackpole Electronics Inc. Inventory levels differ between packaging formats, with CFM12JT5R60 showing higher stock availability (33,415 units versus 1,090 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CFM12JT5R60 replace CF12JT5R60 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The CF and CFM designations indicate packaging format differences only. Electrical performance, temperature characteristics, and safety features are identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated assembly lines. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies the same components on cut segments of carrier tape, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within axial package specifications. CF12JT5R60 measures 0.106" diameter × 0.335" length (2.70mm × 8.50mm). CFM12JT5R60 measures 0.091" diameter × 0.256" length (2.30mm × 6.50mm). Both fit standard axial component footprints and mounting requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CF12JT5R60 and CFM12JT5R60 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with identical EAR99 and HTSUS classifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements. For automated assembly, CF12JT5R60 (Tape & Reel) is standard. For manual assembly or prototype development, CFM12JT5R60 (Cut Tape) may be more practical. Both are active products with established supply chains.
