Electrical riskmedium

Resistance and technology differences require validation.

Package risklow

All suggested alternatives share the same 1206 package.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacements were found that meet all key electrical parameters. The best alternatives are parametric matches that require engineering review.

Best replacement path

Upgrade to a higher power (1W) current sense resistor like RLH12FTCR150, but verify the 6.25% resistance change is acceptable for your application.

Main risk

The primary risk is the resistance mismatch (150mΩ vs 160mΩ) impacting circuit precision.

Recommended alternatives

A 1206 current sense resistor with a higher 1W power rating but slightly different 150mΩ resistance.
