Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CSR1206FKR560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 560 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance

The RCWE1206R560FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package designation, and thermal characteristics. Physical dimensions are within acceptable manufacturing tolerances for 1206 package specifications. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CSR1206FKR560 and RCWE1206R560FKEA are active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The Vishay Dale RCWE1206R560FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and whether automotive qualification is mandated by application specifications. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for standard industrial and commercial current sense applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCWE1206R560FKEA replace CSR1206FKR560 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. The 1206 package footprint, resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and thermal characteristics are identical. PCB layout and schematic modifications are not required.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for discrete semiconductors and passive components. This qualification indicates the part has undergone additional reliability testing and is suitable for automotive applications. For non-automotive applications, this certification provides no functional advantage but represents an additional quality assurance level.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Both parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications. The CSR1206FKR560 has dimensions of 0.120" L x 0.061" W (3.05mm x 1.55mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. The RCWE1206R560FKEA has dimensions of 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These variations are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly or functionality.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or reflow soldering processes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.
