Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012N-183-W-T5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 18 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.05%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)

Compliance & Certification:

• Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• Thin film composition

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria without exception. Packaging format (Tape & Reel) is consistent across all equivalent parts.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012N-183-W-T1 (Susumu)

This part is a direct equivalent to the RG2012N-183-W-T5, differing only in packaging reel specification (T1 versus T5 designation). Both are manufactured by Susumu under the RG series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The RG2012N-183-W-T1 carries higher inventory availability (3,472 pcs) compared to the main part (969 pcs). Selection between these two Susumu variants is based on packaging reel requirements and supply availability.

ERA-6ARW183V (Panasonic Electronic Components)

This part meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters equivalent to the RG2012N-183-W-T5. The ERA-6ARW183V is manufactured by Panasonic under the ERA-6A series and maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The seated height specification differs by 0.004" (0.10mm maximum), with the Panasonic part measuring 0.024" (0.60mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm) for the Susumu part. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The Panasonic part is available with 750 pcs in inventory.

All three parts are actively produced and suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 18 kOhms ±0.05% thin film resistors in 0805 package with automotive-grade specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-183-W-T1 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012N-183-W-T5?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Susumu with identical electrical specifications (18 kOhms ±0.05%, 0.125W, ±10ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), composition (thin film), package (0805), and compliance ratings (AEC-Q200, ROHS3). The T1 and T5 designations refer to packaging reel specifications only. Electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the Susumu RG2012N-183-W-T5 and the Panasonic ERA-6ARW183V?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (18 kOhms), tolerance (±0.05%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package (0805), and compliance (AEC-Q200, ROHS3). The only difference is seated height: Susumu measures 0.020" (0.50mm) maximum, while Panasonic measures 0.024" (0.60mm) maximum. This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference is within typical PCB design tolerances for 0805 components.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are rated for the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). They are suitable for automotive circuit applications requiring precision thin film resistors.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W) and two-termination configuration. The maximum seated height difference of 0.004" (0.10mm) between Susumu and Panasonic parts is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between the RG series and ERA-6A series?

A: These are different manufacturer product lines. The RG series is manufactured by Susumu, while the ERA-6A series is manufactured by Panasonic. Both series offer equivalent 18 kOhms ±0.05% thin film resistors in 0805 package with identical electrical performance and automotive qualification.
