Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LR1F160R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 160 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (precision class equivalence)
• Power rating: 0.6W (thermal capability match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (stability equivalence)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (environmental compatibility)

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package type: Axial (form factor compatibility)
• Composition: Metal film (performance class equivalence)
• Number of terminations: 2 (circuit interface compatibility)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (regulatory equivalence)

The MRS25000C1600FCT00 meets all substitution criteria through identical electrical performance and compatible mechanical form factor, despite minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances for axial resistor applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LR1F160R and MRS25000C1600FCT00 are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging requirements, and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or thermal performance differences.

The LR1F160R is supplied in Tape & Box packaging with 937 pieces currently in stock. The MRS25000C1600FCT00 is supplied in Cut Tape packaging with 10,910 pieces in stock. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications and operate within the same temperature range with equivalent precision and stability characteristics.

Dimensional variations between the two parts (0.091" vs. 0.098" diameter and 0.244" vs. 0.256" length) remain within standard tolerances for axial resistor form factors and do not affect circuit performance or PCB layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MRS25000C1600FCT00 replace the LR1F160R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are 160 Ohms ±1% metal film resistors with 0.6W power rating, ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Electrical performance is identical. Minor dimensional differences do not affect standard through-hole PCB applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Box packaging includes a full reel of components in protective packaging suitable for inventory storage. Cut Tape packaging provides components in shorter tape segments for smaller order quantities. Both formats contain the same component specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with identical regulatory status. The MRS25000C1600FCT00 carries REACH Unaffected designation, while the LR1F160R shows Vendor Undefined REACH status. Both are suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect circuit board design?

A: No. The dimensional variations (0.007" diameter difference and 0.012" length difference) are within standard tolerances for axial resistor components and do not require PCB layout modifications for standard through-hole applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection is based on supply availability and packaging preference. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements. The MRS25000C1600FCT00 offers higher inventory availability (10,910 pieces vs. 937 pieces).
