Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CMF601K5000CERE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 1.5 kOhms
• Power Rating: Must be 1W
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be ±25ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: Must be -55°C to 175°C
• Features: Must include Flame Retardant Coating and Moisture Resistant

The CMF601K5000BEBF qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The tolerance specification differs (±0.1% versus ±0.25%), representing an upgrade in precision capability while maintaining full compatibility with the original part's functional requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CMF601K5000CERE and CMF601K5000BEBF are active products from Vishay Dale with identical regulatory compliance status. The primary distinction is tolerance specification: the CMF601K5000BEBF provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to the ±0.25% of the main part. This represents improved precision capability without any compromise to electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, making them interchangeable from a compliance perspective. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific tolerance requirements and packaging format availability (Tape & Reel versus Bulk).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CMF601K5000BEBF replace CMF601K5000CERE in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical parameters including resistance value, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions and package type are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?
