Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012N-104-W-T1 (Susumu): This part is functionally identical to the RG2012N-104-W-T5 with the same electrical specifications, temperature coefficient, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The primary difference is the tape reel format designation (T1 versus T5). Both parts are manufactured by Susumu, carry ROHS3 compliance, and are suitable for direct substitution. This option provides continuity within the same manufacturer's product line.

ERA-6ARW104V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This part meets all electrical and mechanical requirements with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. It carries the same AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The seated height specification is 0.024" (0.60mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the Susumu parts. This cross-manufacturer substitute is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required or where Panasonic supply chain availability is preferred.

Both substitute parts are active products with established inventory levels and are suitable for direct replacement in automotive and industrial precision resistor applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-104-W-T1 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012N-104-W-T5?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Susumu with identical electrical specifications (100 kOhms ±0.05%, 0.125W, ±10ppm/°C), the same 0805 package, and equivalent AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The difference in part number designation (T1 versus T5) reflects tape reel format variation and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the Susumu RG2012N-104-W-T5 and the Panasonic ERA-6ARW104V?

A: Both parts share identical electrical characteristics (100 kOhms ±0.05%, 0.125W, ±10ppm/°C) and the same 0805 package dimensions. The Panasonic part has a maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm) for the Susumu part. Both carry AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The height difference is within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 components.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and operate across the -55°C ~ 155°C temperature range required for automotive environments.

Q: What is the significance of the 0805 package designation?

A: The 0805 package (2012 Metric) is a standard surface-mount resistor size measuring 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). All three substitute parts use this identical package, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly equipment.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-precision applications?

A: Yes. All three parts meet the ±0.05% tolerance specification and ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient requirement. They are suitable for precision measurement and signal conditioning circuits where tight tolerance and low temperature drift are required.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures. These parts do not require dry-pack storage or baking procedures prior to assembly, simplifying inventory management and reducing handling costs.
