Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RG1608P-5232-D-T5 are classified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 52.3 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS3 Compliance (exact match required)
• MSL 1 rating (exact match required)

Secondary Substitution Parameters (Allowable Variations):

• Tolerance: ±0.5% (main part) to ±0.1% (substitute parts) — tighter tolerance is acceptable
• Power Rating: 0.1W (main part) to 0.167W (substitute part 6-2176089-4) — higher power rating is acceptable
• Automotive AEC-Q200 certification: Present in main part and most substitutes; absence does not preclude substitution for non-automotive applications
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® — both formats are compatible

Substitute parts meeting all primary criteria and at least one secondary criterion are classified as direct equivalents or upgrades.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG1608P-5232-B-T5 (Susumu Upgrade)

This part is a direct upgrade from the main part RG1608P-5232-D-T5. It maintains identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and automotive AEC-Q200 certification while providing improved tolerance of ±0.1% compared to ±0.5%. Both parts are manufactured by Susumu and share the same series designation. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control without any design modifications. Higher inventory availability (5946 pieces) supports production continuity.

6-2176089-4 (TE Connectivity Direct Equivalent)

This part provides equivalent electrical performance with ±0.1% tolerance and higher power rating of 0.167W. Manufactured by TE Connectivity under the RP73P series, it maintains the 0603 package form factor and identical temperature characteristics. This part lacks AEC-Q200 certification and is suitable for non-automotive applications. The higher power rating provides additional thermal margin in power-dissipation-sensitive circuits.

ERA-3AEB5232V (Panasonic Upgrade)

This Panasonic part delivers ±0.1% tolerance with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification matching the main part's reliability requirements. Electrical and thermal specifications are identical. The ERA-3A series provides a multi-source option from a major passive component manufacturer. Highest inventory availability (7915 pieces) ensures supply chain flexibility.

RT0603BRD0752K3L (YAGEO Upgrade)

This YAGEO part offers ±0.1% tolerance in the 0603 package with identical electrical characteristics. It is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format rather than standard Tape & Reel, suitable for applications with flexible packaging requirements. This part lacks AEC-Q200 certification. Highest inventory availability (23067 pieces) supports high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG1608P-5232-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG1608P-5232-D-T5?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Susumu in the 0603 package with identical resistance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating range. The RG1608P-5232-B-T5 provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±0.5%), which is acceptable for direct substitution. Both carry AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and the upgrade parts regarding tolerance?

A: The main part RG1608P-5232-D-T5 has ±0.5% tolerance, while all substitute parts (RG1608P-5232-B-T5, 6-2176089-4, ERA-3AEB5232V, RT0603BRD0752K3L) have ±0.1% tolerance. Tighter tolerance is a performance upgrade and does not affect backward compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: RG1608P-5232-B-T5 and ERA-3AEB5232V carry AEC-Q200 certification and are suitable for automotive applications. Parts 6-2176089-4 and RT0603BRD0752K3L lack AEC-Q200 certification and are suitable for non-automotive applications only.

Q: Does the packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. RT0603BRD0752K3L supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format is electrically identical to parts supplied in standard Tape & Reel format.

Q: Can 6-2176089-4 with 0.167W power rating replace the 0.1W main part?

A: Yes. Higher power rating is acceptable for direct substitution. The 0.167W rating provides additional thermal margin and does not affect circuit operation when the original design calls for 0.1W dissipation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the main part's environmental compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All parts in this comparison carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring identical storage and handling requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not specifically require AEC-Q200 certification. All parts share identical 0603 package dimensions, resistance value, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Designs requiring automotive qualification should use RG1608P-5232-B-T5 or ERA-3AEB5232V.
