Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLM2BER015JTD is permissible with parts that maintain identical or superior electrical and mechanical specifications. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 mOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C or better
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum coverage

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal foil construction
• Terminations: 2-terminal configuration

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 or equivalent

The TLM2BER015FTD qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria, with the distinction of offering improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TLM2BER015JTD and TLM2BER015FTD are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity Passive Product and are suitable for current sensing applications in the 1206 package format.

TLM2BER015JTD Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ±5% tolerance specification
• Cost-optimized designs where tighter tolerance is not required
• Designs with established performance margins accommodating ±5% resistance variation

TLM2BER015FTD Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring improved accuracy with ±1% tolerance specification
• Precision current sensing circuits where tighter resistance tolerance improves measurement accuracy
• Designs where resistance variation must be minimized for circuit performance

Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, thermal performance, and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, MSL 1). Selection between these parts depends on the tolerance requirement of the specific application circuit. The TLM2BER015FTD provides superior tolerance performance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TLM2BER015FTD replace TLM2BER015JTD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TLM2BER015FTD is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TLM2BER015JTD. Both parts share identical 1206 package dimensions, resistance value, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%), which represents an improvement in accuracy.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between these parts?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable resistance variation from the nominal 15 milliohm value. The TLM2BER015JTD allows ±5% variation (14.25 to 15.75 mOhms), while the TLM2BER015FTD allows ±1% variation (14.85 to 15.15 mOhms). Tighter tolerance improves measurement accuracy in current sensing applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both TLM2BER015JTD and TLM2BER015FTD are RoHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package with matching dimensions (0.120" L x 0.061" W, 3.05mm x 1.55mm) and maximum seated height (0.029", 0.73mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and how does it affect performance?

A: Both parts specify ±100 ppm/°C temperature coefficient, indicating that resistance changes by approximately 100 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. This specification is identical between both parts and applies across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: These specifications are provided for DC and low-frequency current sensing applications. The metal foil construction and 1206 package are standard for precision current sensing resistors in power management and measurement circuits.
