Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012N-76R8-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 76.8 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thin Film (electrical performance characteristics)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±10ppm/°C (thermal stability requirement)
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rating (quality and reliability standard)
• RoHS3 compliance (regulatory requirement)

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
• Packaging format: Original or Tape & Reel (TR) formats are interchangeable

All substitute parts listed maintain the mandatory parameters while offering improvements in tolerance specification, power rating, or temperature range. These upgrades provide enhanced performance without compromising electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012N-76R8-B-T5 (Susumu) This substitute offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) while maintaining identical power rating, package, and operating temperature range. Product status is active with established supply availability. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without additional thermal or power margin requirements.

RG2012N-76R8-W-T1 and RG2012N-76R8-W-T5 (Susumu) Both variants provide the highest tolerance specification (±0.05%) among Susumu offerings, representing a two-level improvement over the original part. Electrical and thermal characteristics remain equivalent. These parts are active products suitable for precision-critical applications. The W-T1 and W-T5 designations indicate different tape reel configurations; electrical performance is identical.

TNPW080576R8BYEA (Vishay Dale) This cross-manufacturer substitute provides enhanced power rating (0.26W versus 0.125W) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C versus -55°C ~ 155°C). Tolerance specification is ±0.1%, with additional moisture-resistant coating. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal headroom or extended temperature operation. Footprint compatibility is maintained at 0805 package with maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm) for Susumu variants.

All substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and reliability requirements are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012N-76R8-C-T5 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain the 76.8 Ohm resistance value, 0805 package footprint, thin film composition, ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Direct PCB-level substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between tolerance grades ±0.25%, ±0.1%, and ±0.05%?

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum deviation from the nominal 76.8 Ohm value. ±0.25% allows deviation of ±0.192 Ohms; ±0.1% allows ±0.0768 Ohms; ±0.05% allows ±0.0384 Ohms. Tighter tolerance grades provide more precise resistance values for applications requiring strict circuit performance specifications.

Q: Why does TNPW080576R8BYEA have a higher power rating (0.26W) in the same 0805 package?

A: Power rating depends on material composition, thermal design, and manufacturing process. The Vishay Dale TNPW e3 series achieves higher power dissipation capability within the same physical package through optimized thin film construction and thermal management.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original RG2012N-76R8-C-T5 uses standard packaging; all substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are compatible for automated assembly. Physical dimensions remain consistent: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm), with maximum seated heights of 0.020" (Susumu) or 0.022" (Vishay Dale).

Q: Can I use TNPW080576R8BYEA in applications with temperature operation above 155°C?

A: TNPW080576R8BYEA is rated for -55°C ~ 175°C operation, providing 20°C additional upper temperature margin compared to the original part and Susumu substitutes. This extended range is suitable for high-temperature automotive or industrial applications.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is the automotive electronics council standard for passive component reliability. All parts listed carry this qualification, confirming compliance with automotive-grade quality, testing, and failure rate requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, confirming absence of restricted substances (lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and phthalates) in accordance with EU directive requirements.
