RG2012P-161-P-T1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RG2012P-161-P-T1 is a 160 Ohms ±0.02% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation. This component features anti-sulfur coating and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, designed for high-precision applications requiring tight tolerance and stable performance across extended temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C).

The RG2012P-161-P-T1 is classified as Obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications. Active alternatives with identical electrical specifications and package compatibility are available from the same manufacturer.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012P-161-P-T1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (160 Ohms), tolerance (±0.02%), and power rating (0.125W) must remain constant across all substitute parts.

Package Compatibility: The 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package is mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Material and Composition: Thin film construction is required to maintain the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient performance.

Automotive Qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and anti-sulfur coating are essential for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and environmental protection.

Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating must be maintained for regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility.

The RG2012V-161-P-T1 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. The primary distinction is product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RG2012V-161-P-T1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete RG2012P-161-P-T1. Both components are manufactured by Susumu and share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and automotive qualification ratings.

Product Status Advantage: The RG2012V-161-P-T1 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The RG2012P-161-P-T1 is Obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. MSL 1 rating on both components indicates unlimited shelf life under controlled storage conditions.

Temperature Coefficient Consideration: The RG2012V-161-P-T1 exhibits a superior temperature coefficient of ±5ppm/°C compared to the RG2012P-161-P-T1 at ±25ppm/°C. This represents improved temperature stability and is a performance enhancement for precision applications.

Packaging Format: The RG2012V-161-P-T1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Verify packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RG2012V-161-P-T1 be used as a direct replacement for the RG2012P-161-P-T1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (160 Ohms), tolerance (±0.02%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the different temperature coefficients?

A: The RG2012P-161-P-T1 has a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C, while the RG2012V-161-P-T1 has ±5ppm/°C. The substitute part exhibits superior temperature stability, meaning its resistance value changes less across the operating temperature range. This is a performance improvement for precision applications.

Q: Why is the RG2012P-161-P-T1 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The RG2012V-161-P-T1 is the active equivalent and is the recommended source for new procurement.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both components are 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) and maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm).

Q: What does Tape & Reel (TR) packaging mean?

A: Tape & Reel is a standard format for automated surface mount assembly. Components are wound on a continuous tape and reel for high-speed pick-and-place machine compatibility. This is the industry standard for production environments.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RG2012P-161-P-T1 and RG2012V-161-P-T1 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life. These components do not require special moisture-controlled storage and can be stored under standard conditions without time restrictions.
