TAI-TECH RLM25FEER005 is a strong alternative with matching resistance, power, tolerance, and 2512 package.
Find verified substitutes for the Milliohm HoYLR2512-2W-5mR-1% current sense resistor. This page lists pin-compatible, upgrade, and functional alternatives from top manufacturers.
For matched parts, electrical risk is low. Unconfirmed TCR on some candidates increases risk.
All promising candidates share the same 2512 package, minimizing layout changes.
Direct replacement for HoYLR2512-2W-5mR-1% should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct path is TAI-TECH RLM25FEER005, which matches all critical specs. For improved power handling, TAI-TECH RLP25FEGMR005 is a recommended upgrade.
The main risk is subtle differences in resistor technology (Metal Alloy vs. Foil/Element) and unconfirmed secondary parameters like TCR for some candidates.
