Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for CSRF2512FK6L00 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 6 mOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 2W (exact match required)
• Package: 2512 (6432 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 170°C (exact match required)
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 (required for automotive applications)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compliance)

Two active substitute parts meet these criteria. CSRF2512FT6L00 is a direct Stackpole Electronics equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel). PE2512FKF7W0R006L from YAGEO meets all electrical parameters and automotive requirements but uses metal film composition instead of metal foil, with minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CSRF2512FT6L00 is the primary substitute for CSRF2512FK6L00. Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications, composition, and mechanical dimensions. The only difference is packaging format: CSRF2512FK6L00 uses bulk packaging while CSRF2512FT6L00 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. CSRF2512FT6L00 maintains active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and AEC-Q200 requirements.

PE2512FKF7W0R006L from YAGEO is an alternative substitute that meets all critical electrical parameters and automotive qualifications. The metal film composition differs from the original metal foil design, and dimensional tolerances show minor variations (0.25mm length difference, 0.02mm height difference). PE2512FKF7W0R006L is suitable for applications where composition flexibility is acceptable and offers higher inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSRF2512FT6L00 be used as a direct replacement for CSRF2512FK6L00?

A: Yes. CSRF2512FT6L00 is electrically and mechanically identical to CSRF2512FK6L00. The difference is packaging format only. Both parts have identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating range, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: What is the difference between CSRF2512FT6L00 and PE2512FKF7W0R006L?

A: Both parts meet the same electrical specifications (6 mOhms ±1%, 2W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 170°C). The primary differences are: manufacturer (Stackpole vs YAGEO), composition (metal foil vs metal film), and minor dimensional variations. Both are AEC-Q200 qualified and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Why is CSRF2512FK6L00 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. CSRF2512FT6L00 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the dimensional differences in PE2512FKF7W0R006L?

A: PE2512FKF7W0R006L has minor dimensional variations: 0.25mm shorter length and 0.02mm lower height compared to CSRF2512FK6L00. These differences are within standard PCB design tolerances for 2512 package footprints and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard applications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring Stackpole composition and specifications, use CSRF2512FT6L00. For applications where alternative manufacturers are acceptable, PE2512FKF7W0R006L provides equivalent electrical performance with higher inventory availability.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification?

A: Yes. Both CSRF2512FT6L00 and PE2512FKF7W0R006L carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are suitable for automotive applications.
