CSR1206FTR560 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CSR1206FTR560 is a 560 mOhms ±1% 0.5W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. This current sense resistor is designed for precision low-resistance applications requiring tight tolerance and stable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when original inventory becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative qualified sources with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CSR1206FTR560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Resistance value must match exactly at 560 mOhms with identical ±1% tolerance. Power rating must be 0.5W minimum. Package designation must be 1206 (3216 Metric) to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C must be maintained. Composition must remain thick film. RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are mandatory for regulatory and environmental requirements. All identified substitutes meet these criteria without exception.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CSR1206FTR560 and RCWE1206R560FKEA maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The Stackpole CSR1206FTR560 serves as the primary reference part with 1090 units in current inventory. The Vishay Dale RCWE1206R560FKEA provides an equivalent substitute with 32294 units available and includes additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and moisture-resistant construction. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the Stackpole part is suitable for general industrial applications, while the Vishay Dale part is specified for automotive environments or applications requiring enhanced moisture resistance. Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, package dimensions within tolerance, and regulatory certifications required for deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCWE1206R560FKEA replace CSR1206FTR560 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (560 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part? A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification. The RCWE1206R560FKEA meets this specification, making it suitable for automotive applications. The CSR1206FTR560 does not carry this designation and is appropriate for non-automotive industrial use.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts? A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerance. CSR1206FTR560 measures 0.120" L × 0.061" W (3.05mm × 1.55mm) with 0.026" max height. RCWE1206R560FKEA measures 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm) with 0.028" max height. These differences do not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard 1206 footprints.

Q: Do both parts require identical handling and storage conditions? A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard ESD precautions and dry storage conditions apply to both.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts? A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.
