Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 620 mOhms (exact match required)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Features: Current Sense capability (required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (±1% acceptable as upgrade)
• Power Rating: 0.5W or higher (0.25W not acceptable for direct substitution)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±200ppm/°C or better (±100ppm/°C acceptable as upgrade)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C acceptable (extends beyond original -40°C ~ 125°C)

Substitution Categories:

Direct Substitutes (Equivalent Performance):

• RCWL1206R620JNEA (Vishay Dale): Matches all primary parameters; lower power rating (0.25W) limits direct substitution capability
• RLP73K2BR62JTD (TE Connectivity): Matches all primary parameters with extended temperature range

Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Performance):

• RLP73K2BR62FTDF (TE Connectivity): Improved tolerance (±1%), same power rating, extended temperature range
• CSR1206FTR620 (Stackpole Electronics): Improved tolerance (±1%), improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), extended temperature range
• RCWE1206R620FKEA (Vishay Dale): Improved tolerance (±1%), improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, extended temperature range

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete Part Substitution):

RLP73K2BR62JTD is the primary direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical specifications (620 mOhm ±5%, 0.5W, ±200ppm/°C) and package configuration while offering active product status and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level are preserved.

For Enhanced Performance Applications:

CSR1206FTR620 and RCWE1206R620FKEA are upgrade options providing improved tolerance (±1%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). Both maintain 0.5W power rating and 1206 package compatibility. RCWE1206R620FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

For Automotive Applications:

RCWE1206R620FKEA is specified for designs requiring AEC-Q200 compliance. This part combines upgrade specifications (±1% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) with automotive qualification.

Not Recommended for Direct Substitution:

RCWL1206R620JNEA has reduced power rating (0.25W versus 0.5W original specification) and is not suitable as a direct replacement despite matching resistance and tolerance values.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCWL1206R620JNEA replace the LVC06JR620EV?

A: RCWL1206R620JNEA is not recommended for direct substitution. While it matches resistance (620 mOhm) and tolerance (±5%), the power rating is reduced to 0.25W compared to the original 0.5W specification. This lower power rating may cause thermal stress or failure in applications designed for 0.5W dissipation.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes maintain all original electrical specifications. Upgrade substitutes improve one or more parameters (tolerance, temperature coefficient, or operating temperature range) while maintaining or exceeding the original power rating and package compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts in 1206 package identical in physical dimensions?

A: All substitute parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package designation. Minor dimensional variations exist within tolerance (length 0.120" to 0.126", height 0.024" to 0.028"). These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part is best for automotive applications?

A: RCWE1206R620FKEA is specified for automotive use with AEC-Q200 qualification. It provides upgrade specifications (±1% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) combined with automotive-grade reliability certification.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original LVC06JR620EV is also ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the advantage of ±1% tolerance over ±5%?

A: ±1% tolerance provides tighter resistance value control, reducing circuit performance variation. This is beneficial in precision current sensing applications where resistance accuracy directly affects measurement accuracy.
