Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CSRN2512FKR360 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 360 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 2W
• Package: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The RLP73K3AR36FTDF from TE Connectivity Passive Product meets all these electrical and mechanical specifications, making it a direct equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CSRN2512FKR360 and RLP73K3AR36FTDF are active production parts with identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. The RLP73K3AR36FTDF offers higher inventory availability (27,648 pieces) compared to the CSRN2512FKR360 (847 pieces). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating. The maximum seated height differs by 0.005" (0.14mm), which is within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 2512 package components. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement lead time, inventory availability, and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RLP73K3AR36FTDF be used as a direct replacement for CSRN2512FKR360?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (360 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (2W), package (2512), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference in height between these two parts?

A: The CSRN2512FKR360 has a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm), while the RLP73K3AR36FTDF has a maximum seated height of 0.033" (0.84mm). This 0.005" (0.14mm) difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 2512 package resistors.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The CSRN2512FKR360 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RLP73K3AR36FTDF is specified as a current sense thick film resistor without explicit AEC-Q200 notation in the provided data. Automotive application requirements should be confirmed with the respective manufacturers.
