Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 Ohms
• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±0.5% (main part) to ±0.1% (substitute parts) — tighter tolerance is acceptable
• Power rating: 0.125W (main part) to 0.25W (substitute part 4-2176091-4) — higher power rating is acceptable
• Height seated maximum: 0.020" to 0.026" — within standard 0805 package envelope
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rating: Present in main part and ERA-6AEB1620V; not present in other substitutes but not disqualifying

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: ERA-6AEB1620V (Panasonic Electronic Components)

The ERA-6AEB1620V is the closest functional equivalent to the RG2012P-1620-D-T5. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package format, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The ERA-6AEB1620V offers improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), maintaining all critical electrical and thermal parameters. This part is active in production with the highest inventory availability (11384 units), ensuring supply continuity.

Secondary Substitute: RT0805BRD07162RL (YAGEO)

The RT0805BRD07162RL matches the main part in resistance, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. It provides ±0.1% tolerance and is active in production with substantial inventory (5232 units). This part does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification but meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for general industrial applications.

Alternative Substitute: 4-2176091-4 (TE Connectivity Passive Product)

The 4-2176091-4 provides higher power dissipation capability (0.25W versus 0.125W) while maintaining the same resistance value and package format. This part is suitable for applications where thermal margin is required. It is active in production with 1122 units in stock. The higher power rating and improved tolerance (±0.1%) provide design flexibility, though the increased height (0.026" versus 0.020") must be verified against PCB layout constraints. This part does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification.

Selection Criteria:

• For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance: ERA-6AEB1620V
• For general industrial applications with standard tolerance requirements: RT0805BRD07162RL
• For applications requiring higher thermal dissipation margin: 4-2176091-4

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and available in Tape & Reel packaging format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERA-6AEB1620V directly replace the RG2012P-1620-D-T5 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are AEC-Q200 qualified, share identical 162 Ohm resistance, 0.125W power rating, 0805 package format, and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The ERA-6AEB1620V offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), which is acceptable for direct substitution.

Q: What is the impact of the ±0.1% tolerance in substitute parts compared to the ±0.5% tolerance of the main part?

A: Tighter tolerance (±0.1%) represents improved accuracy and is functionally superior to ±0.5% tolerance. All substitute parts with ±0.1% tolerance are directly compatible with circuit designs specified for ±0.5% tolerance.

Q: Is the 4-2176091-4 suitable for applications with space constraints?

A: The 4-2176091-4 has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm) compared to the main part's 0.020" (0.50mm). PCB layout and component clearance must be verified before selection. The higher power rating (0.25W) may require additional board space for thermal management.

Q: Can non-AEC-Q200 parts (RT0805BRD07162RL and 4-2176091-4) be used in automotive designs?

A: Non-AEC-Q200 parts do not meet automotive qualification standards. Use of these parts in automotive applications requires design review and customer approval. For automotive applications, ERA-6AEB1620V is the qualified substitute.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, matching the main part's packaging specification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts in this comparison?

A: All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can the RT0805BRD07162RL be used as a direct replacement without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The RT0805BRD07162RL matches the main part in all critical electrical parameters: 162 Ohm resistance, 0.125W power rating, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. The ±0.1% tolerance is tighter than the specified ±0.5%, making it functionally compatible.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: ERA-6AEB1620V has the highest inventory availability (11384 units), followed by RT0805BRD07162RL (5232 units) and 4-2176091-4 (1122 units). For long-term supply assurance, ERA-6AEB1620V is the preferred choice.
