VMS-R330-1.0-U is a 3W, 330mΩ, 1% precision current sense resistor from Isabellenhuette in a 2512 package. It features a very low TCR (<20 ppm/K) and is AEC-Q200 qualified for demanding applications.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

TCR mismatch can affect precision in sensitive applications.

Package risklow

All viable candidates use the same 2512 package.

Sourcing risklow

Alternatives are available from different manufacturers.

Can it be replaced directly?

Direct replacement for VMS-R330-1.0-U should use only Datasheet verified or Strong match candidates; many approved options still require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The closest match is HoJLR2512-3W-330mR-1%, but it's a performance downgrade in terms of thermal stability (TCR) and lacks an automotive qualification.

Main risk

The primary risk is a change in circuit accuracy over temperature due to the substitute's higher TCR.
