Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CF12JT360R qualifies as a direct substitute for the CFM12JA360R based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 360 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical composition: Carbon Film
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical temperature coefficient: 0 / -400ppm/°C
• Identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The primary difference between these parts is the packaging format: CFM12JA360R is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) configuration, while CF12JT360R is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with CF12JT360R offering significantly higher inventory availability (28,565 pieces versus 673 pieces).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CFM12JA360R and CF12JT360R are active production parts from Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations. The CFM12JA360R in Tape & Box format is suitable for applications requiring boxed component delivery, while the CF12JT360R in Cut Tape format is appropriate for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The dimensional variance between the two parts (CFM12JA360R: 2.30mm diameter, CF12JT360R: 2.70mm diameter) must be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CF12JT360R be used as a direct replacement for CFM12JA360R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Box versus Cut Tape) and physical dimensions.

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

A: Tape & Box (TB) packaging supplies components in tape format with a protective box, suitable for manual handling and smaller quantity orders. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components in tape format without the box, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems and high-volume production.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: Yes. CFM12JA360R measures 0.091" diameter x 0.256" length, while CF12JT360R measures 0.106" diameter x 0.335" length. PCB layout and component spacing must accommodate the larger dimensions of the CF12JT360R variant.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CFM12JA360R and CF12JT360R are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume manufacturing?

A: CF12JT360R in Cut Tape format is recommended for high-volume production due to compatibility with automated assembly equipment and significantly higher inventory availability (28,565 pieces in stock).
