RG2012P-164-D-T5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RG2012P-164-D-T5 is a 160 kOhms ±0.5% thin film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation. Manufactured by Susumu, this component features anti-sulfur coating and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for high-reliability applications in temperature ranges from -55°C to 155°C. The part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support applications requiring alternative tolerance specifications or manufacturer sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012P-164-D-T5 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: resistance value (160 kOhms), package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), power rating (0.125W), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes – Parts with tighter tolerance specifications (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics. These parts are direct functional upgrades suitable for applications requiring higher precision.

Direct Equivalents – Parts from alternative manufacturers (YAGEO, Panasonic) that match the original tolerance (±0.5%) and all other specified parameters. These provide equivalent performance with different sourcing options.

All substitute parts maintain identical package dimensions, thermal characteristics, compliance certifications, and environmental ratings as the primary part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012P-164-B-T5 (Susumu, ±0.1% Tolerance)

This upgrade substitute maintains identical manufacturer sourcing (Susumu) while providing tighter tolerance specification. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur coating. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications requiring higher precision resistor values without changing supplier relationships or qualification status.

RT0805DRD07160KL (YAGEO, ±0.5% Tolerance)

This direct equivalent from YAGEO matches the tolerance specification of the primary part. Both maintain identical electrical and thermal characteristics. This part is suitable for applications where manufacturer substitution is acceptable and equivalent performance specifications are required. Note that AEC-Q200 rating is not specified for this YAGEO variant.

ERA-6AEB164V (Panasonic Electronic Components, ±0.1% Tolerance)

This upgrade substitute from Panasonic provides tighter tolerance with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification maintained. The part is suitable for precision-critical applications and carries the same automotive reliability rating as the primary part. Highest inventory availability (75,550 pcs) supports supply chain continuity.

RT0805BRD07160KL (YAGEO, ±0.1% Tolerance)

This upgrade substitute from YAGEO provides tighter tolerance specification. Both parts maintain identical thermal and environmental ratings. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher precision with alternative manufacturer sourcing. Note that AEC-Q200 rating is not specified for this YAGEO variant.

All substitute parts are active in production status and maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012P-164-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012P-164-D-T5?

A: Yes. RG2012P-164-B-T5 is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%). Both parts are manufactured by Susumu, carry AEC-Q200 qualification, and feature anti-sulfur coating. The ±0.1% tolerance is a functional upgrade suitable for all applications requiring the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the Susumu and YAGEO 160 kOhm resistors?

A: Both manufacturers provide 160 kOhm 0805 thin film resistors with identical resistance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Primary differences are manufacturer sourcing and, in some variants, automotive qualification status. RT0805DRD07160KL (YAGEO, ±0.5%) matches the original tolerance, while RT0805BRD07160KL (YAGEO, ±0.1%) provides tighter tolerance. AEC-Q200 rating is not specified for YAGEO parts.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The primary part RG2012P-164-D-T5 has a maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm), while substitute parts from YAGEO and Panasonic have maximum seated heights of 0.024" (0.60mm). This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference must be considered for applications with strict PCB clearance or assembly height constraints.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: ERA-6AEB164V from Panasonic Electronic Components has the highest inventory availability at 75,550 pieces in stock, compared to 5,895 pieces for RG2012P-164-B-T5, 7,325 pieces for RT0805BRD07160KL, and 1,558 pieces for RT0805DRD07160KL.

Q: Can I use a ±0.1% tolerance part where a ±0.5% part is specified?

A: Yes. A ±0.1% tolerance part is a functional upgrade and can be used in any application requiring a ±0.5% tolerance part. The tighter tolerance provides improved precision and stability without compromising compatibility or performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification?

A: AEC-Q200 qualification is specified for RG2012P-164-D-T5, RG2012P-164-B-T5, and ERA-6AEB164V. This qualification is not specified for the YAGEO parts (RT0805DRD07160KL and RT0805BRD07160KL). For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, select from Susumu or Panasonic sources.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the environmental and regulatory status of the primary part.
