Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the LVC06FR500EV is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (500 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), package type (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). Both substitute parts—CSR1206FKR500 and CSR1206FTR500—are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and satisfy all electrical and mechanical requirements. These parts maintain active product status and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 155°C), providing superior thermal performance compared to the obsolete LVC06FR500EV. Substitution is valid across all specified parameters with no functional or reliability trade-offs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CSR1206FKR500 and CSR1206FTR500 are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete LVC06FR500EV. Selection between the two Stackpole alternatives depends on procurement and assembly requirements. CSR1206FKR500 in Tape & Reel format suits high-volume automated assembly operations. CSR1206FTR500 in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format accommodates lower-volume production and manual assembly workflows. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and achieve extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 155°C) relative to the original specification, supporting broader application environments. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability for both alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSR1206FKR500 and CSR1206FTR500 be used interchangeably with LVC06FR500EV?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters: 500 mOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, 1206 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape/Digi-Reel), which does not affect component performance.

Q: What is the advantage of the Stackpole alternatives over the Ohmite LVC06FR500EV?

A: Both Stackpole parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability. They also provide extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -40°C ~ 125°C), enabling deployment in more demanding thermal environments while maintaining identical electrical specifications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. CSR1206FKR500 (Tape & Reel) and CSR1206FTR500 (Cut Tape/Digi-Reel) deliver identical electrical and thermal performance. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and production volume.

Q: Are both Stackpole parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both CSR1206FKR500 and CSR1206FTR500 are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the compliance profile of the original LVC06FR500EV.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Either CSR1206FKR500 or CSR1206FTR500 is suitable for new designs. Selection depends on manufacturing process: Tape & Reel format for automated high-volume assembly, or Cut Tape/Digi-Reel format for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.
