Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT0402FRE0711R5L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Resistance value: 11.5 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: minimum 0.063W (1/16W)
• Operating temperature range: minimum -55°C ~ 155°C
• Composition: Thin Film

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Size / Dimension: 0.039" L x 0.020" W (1.00mm x 0.50mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.014" (0.35mm)
• Number of Terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Tolerance may be tighter (lower value) than the original specification without affecting substitution eligibility. Temperature coefficient improvements are acceptable enhancements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CPF0402B11R5E1 (TE Connectivity Passive Product) qualifies as a direct substitute for the RT0402FRE0711R5L based on matching electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Both components are Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

The CPF0402B11R5E1 provides improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), representing enhanced performance characteristics within the same package and power rating. These improvements do not introduce incompatibility and maintain full functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, procurement lead time, and cost considerations, as both meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements for 0402 thin film chip resistor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CPF0402B11R5E1 be used as a direct replacement for the RT0402FRE0711R5L?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (11.5 Ohms), power rating (0.063W), package type (0402), physical dimensions, operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The CPF0402B11R5E1 features tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient, which are compatible enhancements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution in 0402 thin film resistors?

A: Substitution eligibility requires matching resistance value, power rating, package / case designation, physical dimensions, and compliance status. Tolerance and temperature coefficient may be equal to or better than the original specification.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both components conform to identical 0402 (1005 Metric) package specifications with matching dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W) and maximum seated height (0.014"). They are mechanically interchangeable on standard PCB layouts designed for 0402 components.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the RT0402FRE0711R5L and CPF0402B11R5E1 are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and support the full operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C.

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these two parts?

A: The RT0402FRE0711R5L has ±1% tolerance, while the CPF0402B11R5E1 has ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides improved accuracy without affecting circuit compatibility.
