Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CRL1206-JW-R200ELF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 mOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
• RoHS3 compliance: Required for regulatory equivalence
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better (equal or lower MSL acceptable)

The identified substitute CRL1206-FW-R200ELF maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%), providing enhanced precision for applications requiring tighter resistance control.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CRL1206-JW-R200ELF and CRL1206-FW-R200ELF are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The CRL1206-FW-R200ELF offers superior tolerance specification at ±1% compared to the ±5% tolerance of the CRL1206-JW-R200ELF, while maintaining identical mechanical footprint, power rating, and thermal characteristics. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific tolerance requirements. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in 1206 package footprints where 200 mOhms resistance is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRL1206-FW-R200ELF replace CRL1206-JW-R200ELF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package dimensions (1206/3216 Metric), resistance value (200 mOhms), power rating (0.5W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The CRL1206-FW-R200ELF provides tighter tolerance (±1%) and maintains full RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The tolerance specification differs. CRL1206-JW-R200ELF carries ±5% tolerance, while CRL1206-FW-R200ELF carries ±1% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) and maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both CRL1206-JW-R200ELF and CRL1206-FW-R200ELF are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which part should be selected for precision-critical applications?

A: The CRL1206-FW-R200ELF with ±1% tolerance is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance control. The CRL1206-JW-R200ELF with ±5% tolerance is suitable for general-purpose applications where wider tolerance is acceptable.
