Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012N-3242-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 32.4 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.25% or tighter (substitute tolerance must not exceed original specification)
• Power rating: 0.125W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (matching specification)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or extended range acceptable)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Compliance & Certification Requirements:

• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Features: Anti-Sulfur, Automotive AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Substitute parts meeting all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012N-3242-B-T5 (Susumu)

This substitute offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) while maintaining all electrical and mechanical parameters. Product status is active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. All compliance certifications and automotive qualifications remain equivalent to the original part.

RG2012N-3242-W-T5 and RG2012N-3242-W-T1 (Susumu)

Both variants provide superior tolerance specification (±0.05%) compared to the original RG2012N-3242-C-T5. These parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance requirements. Product status is active for both variants. The primary distinction between these two parts is packaging configuration (T5 versus T1 tape specifications).

TNPW080532K4BYEA (Vishay Dale)

This cross-manufacturer substitute from Vishay Dale provides tolerance specification of ±0.1% with enhanced power rating capability (0.26W versus 0.125W). The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C) provides additional thermal margin. All mechanical dimensions, package specifications, and compliance certifications are compatible. Product status is active. This option is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation capability or extended temperature performance within the same physical footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-3242-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012N-3242-C-T5?

A: Yes. The RG2012N-3242-B-T5 is electrically and mechanically compatible. It provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%), which is a performance improvement. All other parameters including resistance value, power rating, package type, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between RG2012N-3242-W-T5 and RG2012N-3242-W-T1?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with ±0.05% tolerance specification. The difference is in tape packaging configuration (T5 versus T1 reel specifications). Selection between these variants depends on assembly equipment compatibility and tape reel requirements.

Q: Is TNPW080532K4BYEA suitable for the same circuit application?

A: TNPW080532K4BYEA is compatible for applications where the original RG2012N-3242-C-T5 was specified. The higher power rating (0.26W versus 0.125W) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C) provide additional design margin. Mechanical footprint and electrical parameters are compatible. This part is from a different manufacturer (Vishay Dale) but maintains equivalent automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and compliance status.

Q: Why is the original RG2012N-3242-C-T5 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. Substitute parts with active product status provide equivalent or improved specifications and ensure long-term supply chain availability for new designs and production requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same 0805 package?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are manufactured in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Direct board-level substitution is supported without layout modifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet automotive AEC-Q200 requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and anti-sulfur construction. RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) specifications are maintained across all alternatives.
