Milliohm
A 3W upgrade with a better temperature coefficient (≤50ppm/°C) in the same 2512 package.
Find suitable replacements for the FMF25FPJR005-LH, a 2W, 5mΩ current sense resistor. Explore verified upgrade paths with higher 3W power ratings and improved performance in the same 2512 package.
Upgrading power and TCR improves robustness.
All recommended alternatives use the same 2512 package.
Multiple vendors offer compatible 3W, 5mΩ, 2512 resistors.
No exact 2W replacements meet the engineering safety margin rule. The recommended path is to use a 3W-rated component, which is a common and safe upgrade.
Upgrade to a 3W-rated part like Milliohm's LR2512D-3W-5mR-1% for increased power handling and better thermal performance in the same 2512 package.
The primary consideration is thermal management. While upgrading from 2W to 3W is generally safe, ensure your PCB layout can dissipate heat if the part operates near its new, higher limit.
