RG2012P-1620-B-T5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RG2012P-1620-B-T5 is a 162 Ohm ±0.1% thin film chip resistor manufactured by Susumu in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation and features anti-sulfur coating with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The part is actively produced and available in high volume. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications requiring alternative sourcing, inventory management, or design flexibility while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-1620-B-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Flexible Parameter:

• Power Rating: Substitutes with equal or higher power rating (0.125W or greater) are acceptable

Three substitute parts meet these criteria. Two substitutes (ERA-6AEB1620V and RT0805BRD07162RL) match the exact power rating of 0.125W. One substitute (4-2176091-4) provides increased power rating of 0.25W, which is compatible for applications where the main part is specified, as higher power rating provides additional thermal margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

RG2012P-1620-B-T5 (Susumu): Primary specification. Features anti-sulfur coating and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm). Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and corrosion resistance.

ERA-6AEB1620V (Panasonic): Direct functional equivalent with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification matching the main part. Seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). Highest inventory availability (11,384 pcs). Recommended for applications where automotive qualification is required and Panasonic sourcing is preferred.

RT0805BRD07162RL (YAGEO): Direct functional equivalent without automotive qualification. Seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). Suitable for non-automotive applications requiring 162 Ohm ±0.1% thin film resistors in 0805 package.

4-2176091-4 (TE Connectivity): Higher power rating of 0.25W (1/4W) without automotive qualification. Seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). Suitable for applications where increased thermal margin is beneficial and automotive qualification is not required. Height difference may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 4-2176091-4 replace RG2012P-1620-B-T5 in automotive applications?

A: No. The 4-2176091-4 lacks automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. For automotive applications, use ERA-6AEB1620V or maintain RG2012P-1620-B-T5.

Q: Are all substitutes mechanically compatible with the original part?

A: All substitutes use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049"). Seated heights vary: RG2012P-1620-B-T5 at 0.020", ERA-6AEB1620V and RT0805BRD07162RL at 0.024", and 4-2176091-4 at 0.026". Verify PCB clearance in height-constrained designs.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.1% tolerance across all parts?

A: All parts maintain ±0.1% tolerance, ensuring precision circuit performance. This tight tolerance is critical for applications requiring accurate impedance matching, filter tuning, or reference networks.

Q: Can RT0805BRD07162RL be used in place of RG2012P-1620-B-T5?

A: RT0805BRD07162RL is electrically and mechanically compatible but lacks anti-sulfur coating and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Use only in non-automotive applications where these features are not required.

Q: Why does 4-2176091-4 have a higher power rating?

A: The 0.25W (1/4W) rating provides increased thermal dissipation capability. This does not affect circuit operation when the original 0.125W specification is adequate; it only provides additional thermal margin.

Q: Are all parts REACH compliant?

A: RG2012P-1620-B-T5, ERA-6AEB1620V, and RT0805BRD07162RL are REACH Unaffected. 4-2176091-4 has Vendor Undefined REACH status. Verify compliance requirements with your supply chain for the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All four parts have MSL 1 rating, allowing standard storage and handling procedures.
