Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012N-2553-C-T5 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable for Substitution):

• Resistance value: 255 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Automotive rating: AEC-Q200
• Anti-sulfur coating: Required
• RoHS3 compliance: Required

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Tolerance: The main part specifies ±0.25%. Substitute parts with tighter tolerances (±0.1% or ±0.05%) are acceptable as they represent improved precision while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.
• Product status: Active alternatives are preferred over obsolete status.
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) is acceptable as a packaging variant.

All three substitute parts maintain identical resistance, power rating, package dimensions, temperature characteristics, and automotive compliance while offering enhanced tolerance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: RG2012N-2553-W-T5

The RG2012N-2553-W-T5 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete RG2012N-2553-C-T5. This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering ±0.05% tolerance (tighter than the original ±0.25%). The part is active in production status, ensuring long-term availability. Inventory of 1155 pieces is available. All automotive compliance certifications (AEC-Q200), RoHS3 status, and anti-sulfur coating specifications are identical to the main part.

Secondary Recommendation: RG2012N-2553-W-T1

The RG2012N-2553-W-T1 provides identical electrical performance to the primary recommendation with ±0.05% tolerance. This part is active in production with 654 pieces in stock. Selection between RG2012N-2553-W-T5 and RG2012N-2553-W-T1 depends on packaging format requirements and inventory availability for specific procurement timelines.

Tertiary Recommendation: RG2012N-2553-B-T5

The RG2012N-2553-B-T5 offers ±0.1% tolerance, representing a middle ground between the original ±0.25% specification and the ±0.05% alternatives. This part is active in production with 1102 pieces in stock. Selection of this part is appropriate when tolerance requirements permit the ±0.1% specification and cost optimization is a consideration.

All three substitute parts are manufactured by Susumu and carry identical AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, anti-sulfur coating, and RoHS3 compliance. Direct PCB layout compatibility is confirmed through identical 0805 package dimensions and termination specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-2553-W-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012N-2553-C-T5 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W, 2.00mm x 1.25mm) with maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). Footprint compatibility is confirmed. The RG2012N-2553-W-T5 offers tighter tolerance (±0.05% versus ±0.25%) while maintaining all other electrical specifications.

Q: What is the difference between RG2012N-2553-W-T5 and RG2012N-2553-W-T1?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with ±0.05% tolerance, 255 kOhms resistance, and 0.125W power rating. The primary difference is packaging format. RG2012N-2553-W-T5 and RG2012N-2553-W-T1 differ in tape configuration (T5 versus T1 designations). Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement specifications.

Q: Why is RG2012N-2553-B-T5 offered as an alternative if tighter tolerance options exist?

A: The RG2012N-2553-B-T5 with ±0.1% tolerance meets all electrical and mechanical requirements while providing a cost-optimized option. Applications that do not require ±0.05% precision can utilize this part. All three substitutes maintain identical automotive compliance, temperature characteristics, and package compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. RG2012N-2553-B-T5, RG2012N-2553-W-T1, and RG2012N-2553-W-T5 all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification identical to the original RG2012N-2553-C-T5. Anti-sulfur coating is present on all parts.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification for substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient with operating range of -55°C to 155°C, identical to the main part specification.

Q: Are substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts (RG2012N-2553-B-T5, RG2012N-2553-W-T1, RG2012N-2553-W-T5) are ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status, matching the original part's environmental compliance.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: RG2012N-2553-W-T5 has 1155 pieces in stock, RG2012N-2553-B-T5 has 1102 pieces, and RG2012N-2553-W-T1 has 654 pieces available as new original stock.
