Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012N-162-P-T1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 1.6 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W minimum (1/8W)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 required
• Composition: Thin film construction

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Tolerance: ±0.02% preferred; ±0.1% acceptable with circuit design verification
• Temperature coefficient: Lower values preferred for precision applications
• RoHS and REACH compliance status

Substitute parts must satisfy all primary criteria. Variations in tolerance and temperature coefficient represent trade-offs between precision requirements and component availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012V-162-P-T1 (Susumu Upgrade)

The RG2012V-162-P-T1 is the primary substitute for the obsolete RG2012N-162-P-T1. This component maintains identical electrical specifications (1.6 kOhms ±0.02% tolerance) and mechanical compatibility (0805 package). The upgrade offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±5ppm/°C versus ±10ppm/°C), enhanced precision stability, and active product status ensuring long-term availability. Both components feature anti-sulfur coating and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with higher inventory availability (850 Pcs).

ERA-6AEB162V (Panasonic Alternative)

The ERA-6AEB162V serves as an alternative substitute when RG2012V-162-P-T1 availability is constrained. This component maintains the same resistance value (1.6 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The ERA-6AEB162V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. The tolerance specification is ±0.1% (versus ±0.02%), and the temperature coefficient is ±25ppm/°C. The seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the primary part. The ERA-6AEB162V lacks anti-sulfur coating. This component is suitable for applications where the relaxed tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications are acceptable. Inventory availability is significantly higher (16,900 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RG2012V-162-P-T1 be used as a direct replacement for the RG2012N-162-P-T1?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 is a direct substitute. Both components share identical resistance (1.6 kOhms), tolerance (±0.02%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The RG2012V-162-P-T1 offers superior temperature coefficient performance and active product status.

Q: What are the tolerance differences between substitute options?

A: The RG2012N-162-P-T1 and RG2012V-162-P-T1 both specify ±0.02% tolerance. The ERA-6AEB162V specifies ±0.1% tolerance. The 0.08% tolerance difference may impact circuit performance in precision applications requiring tight resistance matching.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 and ERA-6AEB162V both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, matching the original RG2012N-162-P-T1 specification.

Q: What is the significance of the anti-sulfur feature?

A: The RG2012N-162-P-T1 and RG2012V-162-P-T1 include anti-sulfur coating. The ERA-6AEB162V does not. Anti-sulfur coating provides protection against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants in automotive and industrial applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: The RG2012V-162-P-T1 is mechanically identical (0.079" L x 0.049" W, 0.020" max height). The ERA-6AEB162V has the same length and width but a maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm). This 0.004" height difference may affect PCB clearance in space-constrained designs.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient impact?

A: The RG2012N-162-P-T1 specifies ±10ppm/°C. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 specifies ±5ppm/°C (improved stability). The ERA-6AEB162V specifies ±25ppm/°C (reduced stability). Lower temperature coefficients provide better resistance stability across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 and ERA-6AEB162V are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the original part specification.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RG2012N-162-P-T1 original specification does not indicate packaging format. The RG2012V-162-P-T1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The ERA-6AEB162V is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format.
