Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CSRF2512FT15L0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 2W
• Package designation: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50 ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 170°C
• Automotive compliance: AEC-Q200 qualification
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The PE2512FKE7W0R015L from YAGEO meets all substitution criteria. While composition differs (metal film versus metal foil), both materials satisfy the specified electrical and thermal performance requirements within the defined parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CSRF2512FT15L0 and PE2512FKE7W0R015L are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements. The YAGEO PE2512FKE7W0R015L offers higher inventory availability (6838 units) compared to the Stackpole part (886 units). Dimensional variations are within typical manufacturing tolerances for the 2512 package class and do not affect functional compatibility in standard PCB layouts. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and current sense applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PE2512FKE7W0R015L replace CSRF2512FT15L0 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification, identical resistance and tolerance specifications, matching power ratings, and equivalent temperature coefficients. Automotive compliance is maintained with the substitute part.

Q: What is the difference between metal foil and metal film composition in these resistors?

A: Composition is not a substitution-limiting parameter for this application. Both materials meet the specified electrical performance, temperature coefficient, and tolerance requirements. The choice between them is determined by availability and supply chain factors.

Q: Are the dimensional differences between these parts significant?

A: No. The CSRF2512FT15L0 measures 0.254" × 0.128" with 0.037" maximum height, while the PE2512FKE7W0R015L measures 0.250" × 0.125" with 0.035" maximum height. Both conform to the 2512 (6432 Metric) package standard and are compatible with standard PCB footprints designed for this package class.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on supply availability and procurement lead times. Both parts are functionally equivalent and meet all specified automotive and compliance requirements. The YAGEO part offers higher current inventory levels.
