Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LR0204F13R is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 13 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W/1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Regulatory Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 compliance (required for substitution)
• ECCN classification: EAR99 (consistent across substitutes)
• HTSUS code: 8533.21.0090 (consistent across substitutes)

The MFR-25FRF52-13R manufactured by YAGEO meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Physical dimensions differ (0.094" Dia x 0.248" L versus 0.079" Dia x 0.138" L), which may affect board layout and mechanical fit but does not impact electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MFR-25FRF52-13R is electrically and functionally equivalent to the LR0204F13R. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications, temperature performance requirements, and regulatory compliance standards (ROHS3). Selection between these components should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The MFR-25FRF52-13R currently maintains higher inventory levels (10,933 Pcs) compared to the LR0204F13R (1,052 Pcs), which may influence procurement decisions when supply constraints exist.

Physical Dimensions: The MFR-25FRF52-13R exhibits larger physical dimensions (0.094" Dia x 0.248" L) relative to the LR0204F13R (0.079" Dia x 0.138" L). Board layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within existing PCB designs, particularly in space-constrained applications.

Packaging Format: The LR0204F13R is supplied in Tape & Box format, while the MFR-25FRF52-13R is supplied in Cut Tape format. Procurement and assembly processes must accommodate the respective packaging configurations.

Both components maintain active production status and are suitable for new designs and replacement applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MFR-25FRF52-13R directly replace the LR0204F13R in existing circuit designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The MFR-25FRF52-13R provides identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. However, physical dimensions differ. Board layout verification is necessary to confirm that the larger body size (0.094" Dia x 0.248" L) accommodates existing PCB footprints and component spacing requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0090) classifications. No regulatory barriers exist to substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different packaging formats (Tape & Box versus Cut Tape)?

A: Tape & Box packaging is suitable for manual assembly and smaller production volumes. Cut Tape packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and assembly equipment capabilities.

Q: Do the different physical dimensions affect electrical performance?

A: No. Physical dimensions do not alter electrical characteristics. The resistance value, tolerance, power dissipation capability, temperature coefficient, and frequency response remain identical. Dimensional differences are relevant only for mechanical fit and thermal management considerations in specific board layouts.

Q: What parameters must match exactly for substitution to be valid?

A: Resistance value (13 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), package type (Axial), and number of terminations (2) must all match exactly. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies substitution.
