An AEC-Q200 qualified upgrade path with tighter ±0.5% tolerance in the same 1206 package.
Finding a substitute for the Milliohm HoYLR1206-1W-5mR-1% current sense resistor is straightforward. This 1W, 5mΩ, 1% resistor has several pin-compatible alternatives from manufacturers like Yageo and Vishay, including AEC-Q200 qualified options.
Some alternatives have a higher TCR (e.g., ±150ppm/°C), which can impact precision in temperature-sensitive applications.
One candidate is in a 2512 package, which is not a drop-in replacement for the 1206 footprint and requires a board redesign.
Multiple vendors (Yageo, Vishay, Milliohm) offer similar parts, providing good supply chain flexibility.
Direct replacement for HoYLR1206-1W-5mR-1% should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
PA1206FRF470R005L is the best direct replacement, offering identical specs plus AEC-Q200 qualification. For higher precision, PA1206DRF470R005L is an excellent upgrade.
The primary risks when substituting are mismatched Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) or different package sizes. Some candidates have a worse TCR, while others are in a different package requiring a PCB change.
