CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF is a 6.2 Ohm ±5% thick film chip resistor rated at 0.75W (3/4W) in a 2010 (5025 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by Bourns Inc. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The CRL series has been superseded by the CR2010 series, which maintains electrical compatibility while offering active product status and extended operating temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 6.2 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (electrical accuracy specification)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical and footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (material and performance characteristics)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (regulatory requirements)

The CR2010-J/-6R2ELF qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching resistance, tolerance, package dimensions, and composition. The primary difference is power rating (0.5W vs. 0.75W), which represents a design trade-off. This substitute is suitable for applications where the lower power dissipation requirement does not exceed 0.5W continuous operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CR2010-J/-6R2ELF is the primary substitute for the obsolete CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc., maintain identical resistance and tolerance specifications, and share the same 2010 package footprint. The substitute offers active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The CR2010-J/-6R2ELF operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C), providing superior thermal performance. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), meeting current regulatory requirements.

The power rating differential (0.5W versus 0.75W) is the primary design consideration. The substitute is appropriate for applications where continuous power dissipation does not exceed 0.5W. For applications requiring the full 0.75W rating, thermal analysis and power budget verification are necessary to confirm the substitute's suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR2010-J/-6R2ELF directly replace the CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W, 5.00mm x 2.50mm) and height (0.028" / 0.70mm maximum). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the impact of the lower power rating on the substitute part?

A: The CR2010-J/-6R2ELF is rated at 0.5W versus the original 0.75W. This means the substitute can safely dissipate up to 0.5W continuous power. Applications exceeding this threshold require thermal derating analysis or alternative component selection.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity). Regulatory and environmental compliance are equivalent.

Q: Why does the substitute have a wider operating temperature range?

A: The CR2010-J/-6R2ELF operates to 155°C versus 125°C for the CRL2010-JW-6R20ELF. This extended range reflects the CR2010 series design specifications and provides additional thermal margin for high-temperature applications.

Q: Is the temperature coefficient specification available for the substitute?

A: The temperature coefficient for the CR2010-J/-6R2ELF is not provided in the available technical data. For applications requiring precise temperature coefficient specifications, contact the manufacturer directly.
