Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CSRN2512FTR360 is determined by strict equivalence across the following 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 manufactured by TE Connectivity Passive Product meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RLP73K3AR36FTDF meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for direct substitution. The maximum seated height difference of 0.005" (0.14mm) between the two parts is within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 2512 package components. Both parts are suitable for current sense applications in automotive and industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RLP73K3AR36FTDF replace CSRN2512FTR360 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (360 mOhms ±1%, 2W, ±200ppm/°C), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), use thick film composition, and comply with ROHS3 standards. The RLP73K3AR36FTDF is qualified for current sense applications. The height difference of 0.005" is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for this package class.

Q: Are there any dimensional concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The length and width are identical at 0.250" x 0.124" (6.35mm x 3.15mm). The seated height of RLP73K3AR36FTDF is 0.033" (0.84mm) compared to 0.028" (0.70mm) for the CSRN2512FTR360. This 0.005" difference is acceptable for standard PCB designs using 2512 package footprints.

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

A: Yes. Both the CSRN2512FTR360 and RLP73K3AR36FTDF carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The CSRN2512FTR360 carries explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for automotive and industrial current sense applications.
