Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 910 mOhms (exact match required)
• Package form factor: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower value) than the original ±5%
• Power Rating: May be equal or higher than 0.5W
• Operating Temperature Range: May be equal or extended
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all primary parameters match

The identified substitutes meet these criteria and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the CRL1206-JW-R910ELF is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRL1206-FW-R910ELF (Bourns Inc.): This substitute offers tighter tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) while maintaining identical power rating, package, and operating temperature range. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and carry equivalent compliance certifications. Selection of this part provides improved accuracy in resistance value with no trade-offs in thermal or mechanical specifications.

RMCF1206FTR910 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This substitute features tighter tolerance (±1%) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The power rating is reduced to 0.25W compared to the original 0.5W specification. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection is appropriate for applications where the lower power rating is acceptable and automotive-grade reliability is required or beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRL1206-FW-R910ELF directly replace CRL1206-JW-R910ELF?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, package, power rating, and operating temperature range. The CRL1206-FW-R910ELF provides tighter tolerance (±1% versus ±5%), making it a direct upgrade with no electrical or mechanical incompatibilities.

Q: Is RMCF1206FTR910 suitable as a replacement in all applications?

A: RMCF1206FTR910 matches the resistance, package, and temperature coefficient of the original part. However, its power rating is 0.25W compared to the original 0.5W. Substitution is valid only in applications where the circuit design does not require the full 0.5W power dissipation capability. Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) provides additional margin in high-temperature environments.

Q: What is the significance of the 1206 package specification?

A: The 1206 (3216 Metric) package designation defines the physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W / 3.20mm x 1.60mm) and land pattern for PCB mounting. All listed substitutes use identical package specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility without PCB redesign.

Q: How do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: The original part specifies ±5% tolerance, meaning the actual resistance can vary between 864.5 mOhms and 955.5 mOhms. Substitute parts with ±1% tolerance narrow this range to 901.9 mOhms and 918.1 mOhms. Tighter tolerance reduces circuit parameter variation and improves performance predictability in precision applications.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification indicate for RMCF1206FTR910?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. This certification indicates the part meets automotive reliability and quality requirements. Selection of AEC-Q200 qualified components is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component reliability.
