LVC06FR068EV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LVC06FR068EV is a 68 mOhms ±1% 0.5W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Ohmite. This component is designed for current sense applications with moisture-resistant characteristics. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and package compatibility while meeting current availability and compliance standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LVC06FR068EV are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 68 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C
• Composition: Thick Film

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Operating temperature range: minimum -40°C to 125°C

All identified substitutes meet these criteria. Differences in operating temperature range (extended upper limits) and physical dimensions (within tolerance) do not affect functional equivalence for current sense applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended):

CSR1206FK68L0 and CSR1206FT68L0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are the preferred substitutes. Both parts are active products with extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C), providing greater thermal margin than the original LVC06FR068EV. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. CSR1206FK68L0 is available in Tape & Reel packaging with 2500 units in stock, while CSR1206FT68L0 offers the same electrical and mechanical specifications with 879 units available.

Secondary Substitute:

73E4R068F (CTS Resistor Products) is an active alternative meeting all electrical and mechanical requirements. This part maintains the original operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. CTS supply availability is 1104 units.

All three substitutes are functionally equivalent for current sense applications in 1206 package form factor. Selection should be based on supply chain availability, lead time, and packaging requirements (Tape & Reel).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSR1206FK68L0 or CSR1206FT68L0 be used as direct replacements for LVC06FR068EV?

A: Yes. Both Stackpole parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They maintain the same 68 mOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, and 1206 package configuration. The extended operating temperature range provides additional design margin.

Q: What is the difference between CSR1206FK68L0 and CSR1206FT68L0?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions are equivalent (0.120" L x 0.061" W). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Selection between them should be based on packaging availability and supply chain requirements.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of Stackpole parts affect compatibility?

A: No. Extended temperature ranges do not affect compatibility. The original operating range of -40°C to 125°C is fully contained within the Stackpole range of -55°C to 155°C, ensuring functional equivalence across all specified operating conditions.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: All three substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The original LVC06FR068EV packaging format is not specified in the available data.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS and MSL requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original part's compliance profile.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability?

A: CSR1206FK68L0 (Stackpole) has the highest inventory at 2500 units. CSR1206FT68L0 (Stackpole) has 879 units, and 73E4R068F (CTS) has 1104 units available.
