CSR2512C0R015F Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CSR2512C0R015F is a 15 mOhms ±1% 3W chip resistor in 2512 (6432 Metric) package manufactured by Riedon. This current sense, non-inductive metal element resistor is designed for precision applications requiring low resistance values with tight tolerance specifications. The part is classified as Obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility for ongoing production and field replacement requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CSR2512C0R015F are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 15 mOhms
• Matching tolerance: ±1%
• Equivalent power rating: 3W
• Same package designation: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Identical composition: Metal Element
• Matching functional features: Current Sense, Non-Inductive
• Overlapping operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 170°C
• Equivalent regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The two qualified substitutes (CSRL3-0R015F1 and CSRL3-0R015F8) are from the same manufacturer (Riedon) and maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are classified as Active, providing long-term availability advantages over the Obsolete main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CSRL3-0R015F1 and CSRL3-0R015F8 are direct functional equivalents to the CSR2512C0R015F. Selection between these two active alternatives should be based on:

CSRL3-0R015F1: Recommended for applications where temperature coefficient specification is not explicitly required or where the unspecified temperature coefficient is acceptable. This part offers the highest current inventory availability (84,918 pcs).

CSRL3-0R015F8: Recommended for applications requiring defined temperature coefficient performance (±75ppm/°C). This part provides explicit thermal stability specification for precision current sensing applications.

Both substitutes maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original part. The transition from Cut Tape packaging to Tape & Reel packaging reflects current manufacturing standards for active production parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSRL3-0R015F1 and CSRL3-0R015F8 be used interchangeably with CSR2512C0R015F?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance (15 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (3W), package (2512), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 170°C). The primary difference is temperature coefficient specification, which is unspecified for CSRL3-0R015F1 and defined as ±75ppm/°C for CSRL3-0R015F8.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual component strips, while Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume handling capabilities.

Q: Are the substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both CSRL3-0R015F1 and CSRL3-0R015F8 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original CSR2512C0R015F.

Q: Why is the CSR2512C0R015F classified as Obsolete?

A: The CSR2512C0R015F is no longer in active production. The CSRL series (CSRL3-0R015F1 and CSRL3-0R015F8) represents the current active product line from Riedon for this specification category.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity constraints. Components with this rating do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.
