Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CMF601K5000FHRE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 1W (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 175°C (minimum requirement)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety (required)

Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering margins. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The CMF601K5000BEBF qualifies as a direct substitute, offering improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CMF601K5000FHRE and CMF601K5000BEBF are active products from Vishay Dale with identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific tolerance and temperature stability requirements:

The CMF601K5000FHRE is suitable for applications where ±1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient meet design specifications and where Tape & Reel packaging is preferred for automated assembly processes.

The CMF601K5000BEBF provides superior tolerance (±0.1%) and temperature stability (±25ppm/°C), making it appropriate for precision circuits requiring tighter resistance control across temperature variations. This substitute is available in Bulk packaging format.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance in terms of resistance value and power rating, identical physical dimensions for PCB layout compatibility, and identical environmental protection features. Compliance certifications remain consistent across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CMF601K5000BEBF replace CMF601K5000FHRE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (1.5 kOhms), power rating (1W), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and protective features. The CMF601K5000BEBF offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications, making it a direct electrical and mechanical substitute.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Component specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there tolerance implications when substituting CMF601K5000FHRE with CMF601K5000BEBF?

A: The CMF601K5000BEBF features tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%), which represents an improvement in resistance accuracy. This substitution will not cause tolerance-related failures in circuits designed for the original ±1% specification. Applications requiring the original tolerance specification can still use the substitute without performance degradation.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CMF601K5000FHRE and CMF601K5000BEBF share identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected classification, and ECCN/HTSUS codes. Environmental protection features (flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, safety rating) are identical across both parts.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor category?

A: Substitution eligibility is strictly determined by matching resistance value, power rating, package type, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, composition, and protective features. Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable margins. Packaging format does not affect substitution eligibility.
