Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012N-364-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 360 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rating (exact match required)
• RoHS3 compliance (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: Can be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±0.25%
• Power rating: Can be equal to or higher than 0.125W
• Operating temperature range: Can be equal to or wider than -55°C ~ 155°C

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance within the specified tolerance band while meeting or exceeding the original part's power handling capability and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Susumu RG Series):

The RG2012N-364-B-T5, RG2012N-364-W-T1, and RG2012N-364-W-T5 are direct substitutes manufactured by Susumu within the same RG series. All three parts maintain identical resistance, package, composition, and temperature coefficient specifications. These parts offer improved tolerance performance (±0.1% and ±0.05% respectively) compared to the original ±0.25% specification, ensuring superior accuracy in circuit applications. All three are classified as active products with current manufacturing support and availability.

Secondary Substitute (Vishay Dale TNPW Series):

The TNPW0805360KBYEA manufactured by Vishay Dale provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining core electrical parameters. This part offers enhanced power rating capability (0.26W versus 0.125W) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C versus -55°C ~ 155°C). The tolerance specification of ±0.1% meets the original requirement. This component is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal margin or extended temperature operation within automotive environments.

All substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, anti-sulfur coating, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with the original design requirements and manufacturing processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-364-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012N-364-C-T5?

A: Yes. The RG2012N-364-B-T5 maintains identical resistance (360 kOhms), package (0805), power rating (0.125W), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The tolerance is improved from ±0.25% to ±0.1%, providing enhanced accuracy. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 rating and anti-sulfur coating.

Q: What is the difference between RG2012N-364-W-T1 and RG2012N-364-W-T5?

A: Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in packaging and tape configuration (T1 versus T5 designations). Both offer ±0.05% tolerance, which is tighter than the original ±0.25% specification. Selection between these parts depends on tape reel compatibility with existing assembly equipment.

Q: Why does TNPW0805360KBYEA have a higher power rating (0.26W) than the original part (0.125W)?

A: The TNPW0805360KBYEA is manufactured by Vishay Dale using different construction techniques within the same 0805 package footprint. The higher power rating provides additional thermal margin and allows operation in higher dissipation environments. This does not affect compatibility; the part operates safely at the original 0.125W specification and below.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, anti-sulfur coating, and RoHS3 compliance, meeting automotive industry standards equivalent to the original RG2012N-364-C-T5.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with tighter tolerance (±0.05%) in place of the original ±0.25% specification?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance specifications are fully compatible and provide improved circuit accuracy. The substitute part will perform within the original tolerance band while offering superior precision.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating on all parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All listed parts, including the original and substitutes, can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between substitute parts?

A: No. All parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Maximum seated height varies slightly (0.020" to 0.022"), which is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect placement or soldering.
