A pin-compatible 2512 resistor with matching power and resistance, plus a superior temperature coefficient (TCR).
Finding a replacement for the Yageo PA2512FKF7T0R02E 3W 20mΩ current sense resistor involves matching its 2512 package, power rating, and AEC-Q200 qualification. Key alternatives exist with similar or better performance.
Key parameters are well-matched or improved.
All viable candidates use the same 2512 package.
Using a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive design is a major compliance and reliability risk.
Direct replacement for PA2512FKF7T0R02E should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
The most direct path is RLP25FEGR020, which is parametrically very similar and AEC-Q200 qualified. Other options lack this qualification.
The main risk is using a non-AEC-Q200 qualified part in an automotive application, which can lead to reliability issues.
