Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 500 mOhms (exact match required)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thick Film (required for application consistency)
• Application: Current Sense capability (required)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter acceptable (tighter tolerance provides improved performance margin)
• Temperature coefficient: Lower values acceptable (±100ppm/°C vs ±200ppm/°C)
• Operating temperature range: Extended range acceptable
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 required
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 required

Both identified substitutes meet all primary and secondary compatibility requirements and are classified as active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CSR1206JKR500 Selection Criteria: This substitute maintains identical tolerance (±5%) and power rating specifications as the LVC06JR500EV. It is manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and carries active product status with current availability. The part provides improved temperature coefficient performance (±100ppm/°C vs ±200ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C vs -40°C ~ 125°C). ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. This option is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original tolerance specification is acceptable.

CSR1206FKR500 Selection Criteria: This substitute provides tighter tolerance specification (±1% vs ±5%), offering improved accuracy for current sense applications requiring enhanced precision. Manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc with active product status, it maintains identical power rating and package specifications. Temperature coefficient and operating range improvements match the CSR1206JKR500. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. This option is suitable for applications where improved tolerance performance provides functional advantage.

Both substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CSR1206JKR500 directly replace LVC06JR500EV? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (500 mOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.5W), package format (1206), and composition (thick film). The substitute provides improved temperature coefficient and extended operating range while maintaining all compliance certifications.

Q: What is the functional difference between CSR1206JKR500 and CSR1206FKR500? A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. CSR1206JKR500 maintains ±5% tolerance matching the original part. CSR1206FKR500 provides ±1% tolerance, offering tighter resistance accuracy. Both are electrically and mechanically compatible with the LVC06JR500EV.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible? A: All three parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. The LVC06JR500EV measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). The Stackpole substitutes measure 0.120" L x 0.061" W (3.05mm x 1.55mm). Both dimensions fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and are mechanically compatible for PCB mounting.

Q: Do the substitutes meet the same compliance requirements? A: Yes. Both CSR1206JKR500 and CSR1206FKR500 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original LVC06JR500EV specifications.

Q: Why is the LVC06JR500EV classified as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The identified substitutes from Stackpole Electronics Inc provide active, currently manufactured alternatives with equivalent or improved electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on tolerance requirements. For applications matching the original ±5% specification, CSR1206JKR500 is appropriate. For applications requiring improved accuracy, CSR1206FKR500 with ±1% tolerance is suitable. Both are active products with established supply availability.
