Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the CSRF2512FK8L00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 8 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 Compliance: AEC-Q200 (required for automotive applications)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (required for reliability)

Two direct substitutes meet all electrical and mechanical requirements: CSRF2512FT8L00 (Stackpole Electronics Inc, same series, active status) and PE2512FKF7W0R008L (YAGEO, active status). Both maintain identical electrical specifications and automotive qualifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are qualified replacements based on product status and compliance criteria:

CSRF2512FT8L00 is the primary substitute, offering direct manufacturer continuity from Stackpole Electronics Inc within the same CSRF series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while providing active product status and tape & reel packaging for production environments.

PE2512FKF7W0R008L from YAGEO provides an alternative from an established automotive-qualified manufacturer. While the composition differs (metal film versus metal foil), all critical electrical parameters, temperature performance, and automotive certifications remain equivalent. This part is also in active production with tape & reel packaging.

Both parts satisfy AEC-Q200 automotive requirements, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications required for the original application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSRF2512FT8L00 be used as a direct replacement for CSRF2512FK8L00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (8 mOhms ±1%, 2W), package dimensions (2512/6432 Metric), temperature performance (-55°C ~ 170°C, ±100ppm/°C), and automotive qualifications (AEC-Q200). The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tape & reel versus bulk).

Q: What is the difference between the metal foil composition of CSRF2512FT8L00 and the metal film composition of PE2512FKF7W0R008L?

A: Both compositions meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. The resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and power rating are identical. Selection between them depends on supply chain availability and established qualification history within your manufacturing process.

Q: Are both substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both CSRF2512FT8L00 and PE2512FKF7W0R008L carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, matching the original part's requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original CSRF2512FK8L00 was supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet RoHS and moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), matching the original part's environmental and regulatory specifications.
