Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012N-3653-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 365 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Automotive rating: AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C ~ 155°C (substitute must meet or exceed)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (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
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (maintained across all substitutes)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (maintained across all substitutes)

All identified substitutes maintain the mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance specifications and, in one case, enhanced power rating and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Susumu RG Series):

The three Susumu RG2012N-3653 variants (RG2012N-3653-B-T5, RG2012N-3653-W-T1, and RG2012N-3653-W-T5) are direct substitutes for the obsolete RG2012N-3653-C-T5. All three are active products with identical resistance, package, power rating, and operating temperature specifications. The primary difference is tolerance specification:

• RG2012N-3653-B-T5 offers ±0.1% tolerance (tighter than the original ±0.25%)
• RG2012N-3653-W-T1 and RG2012N-3653-W-T5 both offer ±0.05% tolerance (significantly tighter than the original)

All three maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, anti-sulfur construction, and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among these three depends on tolerance requirements of the application circuit.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (Vishay Dale):

The TNPW0805365KBYEA from Vishay Dale is a cross-manufacturer substitute that maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters. This part offers enhanced specifications including 0.26W power rating (versus 0.125W) and extended operating temperature range to 175°C (versus 155°C). The tolerance specification is ±0.1%, which is tighter than the original ±0.25%. This component carries AEC-Q200 qualification and includes moisture-resistant construction in addition to anti-sulfur features. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement in existing designs, any of the three Susumu variants provide equivalent functionality with improved tolerance performance. The Vishay Dale TNPW0805365KBYEA is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation capability or extended temperature operation while maintaining the same footprint and electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RG2012N-3653-W-T5 directly replace the obsolete RG2012N-3653-C-T5?

A: Yes. Both components have identical resistance (365 kOhms), package (0805), power rating (0.125W), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RG2012N-3653-W-T5 offers improved tolerance (±0.05% versus ±0.25%), making it a direct functional substitute. The RG2012N-3653-W-T5 is an active product with current inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between RG2012N-3653-B-T5 and RG2012N-3653-W-T5?

A: Both parts are Susumu thin film 365 kOhms 0805 resistors with identical power rating and operating temperature range. The primary difference is tolerance: RG2012N-3653-B-T5 specifies ±0.1% tolerance, while RG2012N-3653-W-T5 specifies ±0.05% tolerance. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Is the TNPW0805365KBYEA compatible with the original RG2012N-3653-C-T5 footprint?

A: Yes. The TNPW0805365KBYEA uses the same 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049") dimensions. Maximum seated height is 0.022" (0.55mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the Susumu parts, which remains within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 components.

Q: Can I use the TNPW0805365KBYEA in place of the RG2012N-3653-C-T5 if my circuit requires only 0.125W power dissipation?

A: Yes. The TNPW0805365KBYEA is rated for 0.26W power dissipation, which exceeds the 0.125W requirement. Higher power rating does not create compatibility issues in circuits requiring lower power dissipation. All other electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) are compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes (RG2012N-3653-B-T5, RG2012N-3653-W-T1, RG2012N-3653-W-T5, and TNPW0805365KBYEA) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, matching the original component specification.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between the Susumu and Vishay Dale options?

A: Susumu RG2012N-3653 variants operate from -55°C to 155°C. The Vishay Dale TNPW0805365KBYEA operates from -55°C to 175°C, providing 20°C additional high-temperature capability. This extended range is beneficial for applications subject to elevated ambient or component-level thermal conditions.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (RG2012N-3653-B-T5, RG2012N-3653-W-T1, RG2012N-3653-W-T5, and TNPW0805365KBYEA) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original component specification.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These components can be stored indefinitely without moisture baking requirements prior to soldering, simplifying inventory management and assembly processes.
