Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LVC06FR020EV is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: 20 mOhms ±1%
• Package Type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Application Class: Current Sense
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Two active substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Substitutes may vary in power rating, composition type, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range, provided the primary parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UCR18EVHFSR020 (Rohm Semiconductor) provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the LVC06FR020EV. This part maintains identical power rating (0.5W), package dimensions, and thick film composition. The UCR18EVHFSR020 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and extends operating temperature range to -55°C to 155°C. Product status is active with established supply availability.

PE1206FKM470R02Z (YAGEO) meets all core substitution criteria with identical resistance, tolerance, and package specifications. This part features metal foil composition with superior temperature coefficient performance (±75 ppm/°C versus ±350 ppm/°C) and elevated power rating (1W). Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 170°C. Product status is active.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for temperature stability, power dissipation margin, and composition preference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCR18EVHFSR020 replace LVC06FR020EV in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require AEC-Q200 automotive qualification as a restriction. The UCR18EVHFSR020 maintains equivalent electrical performance and identical package footprint. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) accommodates broader thermal environments than the original part.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute options?

A: Composition and temperature coefficient differ. UCR18EVHFSR020 uses thick film construction matching the original part, while PE1206FKM470R02Z employs metal foil construction with superior temperature stability (±75 ppm/°C). PE1206FKM470R02Z also provides higher power rating (1W versus 0.5W).

Q: Are both substitutes physically compatible with existing PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both substitutes use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions and two-termination configuration. Maximum seated heights are 0.026" (LVC06FR020EV and UCR18EVHFSR020) and 0.033" (PE1206FKM470R02Z), both within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Do the substitutes maintain the same tolerance specification?

A: Yes. Both UCR18EVHFSR020 and PE1206FKM470R02Z maintain ±1% tolerance matching the original LVC06FR020EV specification.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for high-temperature applications?

A: PE1206FKM470R02Z supports the highest operating temperature range (-55°C to 170°C) and offers the lowest temperature coefficient (±75 ppm/°C), providing superior performance stability across extended thermal environments.
