LVC25FR075EV Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LVC25FR075EV is a 75 mOhm ±1% 1W chip resistor in 2512 (6432 Metric) package manufactured by Ohmite. This current sense thick film resistor is designed for precision low-resistance applications requiring moisture resistance and tight tolerance specifications. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LVC25FR075EV is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant or compatible:

  • Resistance Value: 75 mOhms ±1% tolerance
  • Package Type: 2512 (6432 Metric) form factor
  • Composition: Thick film construction
  • Temperature Coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C
  • Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, EAR99 classification
  • Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part CRM2512-FX-R075ELF from Bourns Inc. meets all critical substitution criteria. While the substitute offers higher power rating (2W versus 1W) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -40°C to 125°C), these represent improvements that maintain full backward compatibility with the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRM2512-FX-R075ELF is the direct substitute for the obsolete LVC25FR075EV. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical resistance value (75 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), and temperature coefficient (±100 ppm/°C), ensuring equivalent circuit performance in current sense applications.

Package Compatibility: Both parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package with identical footprints, enabling direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with EAR99 classification and MSL 1 rating, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements.

Product Status: The substitute part is active and in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Enhanced Specifications: The substitute offers higher power dissipation capability (2W versus 1W) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -40°C to 125°C), providing design margin without compromising the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRM2512-FX-R075ELF be used as a direct replacement for the LVC25FR075EV?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, package type, and compliance certifications. The substitute is electrically and mechanically equivalent for all current sense applications.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: The LVC25FR075EV is rated at 1W, while the CRM2512-FX-R075ELF is rated at 2W. The higher power rating of the substitute provides additional thermal margin and does not affect compatibility with circuits designed for the original 1W part.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Both parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist (LVC25FR075EV: 0.250" L x 0.130" W; CRM2512-FX-R075ELF: 0.248" L x 0.122" W), but these differences are within standard package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute affect circuit design?

A: No. The substitute's operating range (-55°C to 155°C) encompasses the original part's range (-40°C to 125°C). Circuits designed for the original specification remain fully compatible.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LVC25FR075EV and CRM2512-FX-R075ELF are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the packaging format of the substitute?

A: The CRM2512-FX-R075ELF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for production environments and automated assembly processes.
