Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012P-1960-B-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 196 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Flexible Parameters:

• Power Rating: Substitutes with equal or higher power rating are acceptable
• Automotive Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification is not required for all substitute parts
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers are acceptable provided all mandatory parameters match

Three substitute parts meet the mandatory parameter requirements:

1. ERA-6AEB1960V (Panasonic) – Direct equivalent with matching power rating and AEC-Q200 qualification
2. RT0805BRD07196RL (YAGEO) – Direct equivalent with matching power rating
3. 5-2176091-2 (TE Connectivity) – Higher power rating (0.25W) with all other parameters matching

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred for AEC-Q200 Applications):

ERA-6AEB1960V from Panasonic is the direct equivalent to RG2012P-1960-B-T5. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, matching power rating, and identical electrical specifications. This substitute is suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance.

Direct Equivalent (General Applications):

RT0805BRD07196RL from YAGEO is a direct equivalent with matching electrical and mechanical specifications. This substitute is suitable for general industrial and consumer applications where AEC-Q200 qualification is not required.

Higher Power Rating Substitute:

5-2176091-2 from TE Connectivity provides a 0.25W (1/4W) power rating while maintaining all other electrical parameters. This substitute is suitable for applications where higher power dissipation capability is beneficial or required. The increased height (0.026" maximum) must be verified for PCB layout compatibility.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, and operate across the full -55°C to 155°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-6AEB1960V replace RG2012P-1960-B-T5 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERA-6AEB1960V is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both parts are thin film 196 Ohm ±0.1% resistors in 0805 package with 0.125W power rating and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

Q: What is the difference between the RG2012P-1960-B-T5 and 5-2176091-2?

A: The primary difference is power rating. RG2012P-1960-B-T5 is rated for 0.125W (1/8W), while 5-2176091-2 is rated for 0.25W (1/4W). All other electrical parameters are identical. The higher power rating of 5-2176091-2 results in a slightly increased maximum seated height of 0.026" compared to 0.020" for the original part.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (ERA-6AEB1960V, RT0805BRD07196RL, and 5-2176091-2) are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can RT0805BRD07196RL be used in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200?

A: RT0805BRD07196RL does not carry AEC-Q200 qualification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use ERA-6AEB1960V or the original RG2012P-1960-B-T5.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same package dimensions?

A: All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049"). Maximum seated height varies slightly: RG2012P-1960-B-T5 at 0.020", ERA-6AEB1960V and RT0805BRD07196RL at 0.024", and 5-2176091-2 at 0.026". PCB layout clearance must accommodate the maximum height of the selected substitute.

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

A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, have a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C and operate across -55°C to 155°C.
