RG2012N-6040-C-T5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RG2012N-6040-C-T5 is a 604 Ohm ±0.25% thin film chip resistor manufactured by Susumu in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation and features anti-sulfur construction with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C.

The RG2012N-6040-C-T5 is classified as obsolete. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production requirements. Substitute components maintain the same resistance value and package format while offering improved tolerance specifications or enhanced temperature stability characteristics.
