Yageo
A 2W upgrade from the same manufacturer, matching package, resistance, tolerance, and AEC-Q200 qualification.
The Yageo RL2512FK-070R2L is a popular AEC-Q200 qualified 1W current sense resistor in a 2512 package. When seeking alternatives, prioritize candidates with equal or greater power ratings and matching qualifications.
Low if power rating is increased and other specs match.
2512 is a standard package, ensuring physical compatibility.
Using a non-AEC-Q200 part in an automotive design is a major compliance and reliability risk.
Direct replacement for RL2512FK-070R2L should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.
Upgrade to a higher power resistor like Yageo's PT2512FK-7W0R2L (2W) for increased thermal margin.
The primary risk is substituting with a part that lacks the required AEC-Q200 qualification or has an insufficient power rating, compromising reliability.
