Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012V-2371-P-T1 (Susumu - Upgrade Path)

The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 represents the direct upgrade from the obsolete RG2012P-2371-P-T1. Both components are manufactured by Susumu and share identical electrical specifications including 2.37 kOhms resistance, ±0.02% tolerance, and 0.125W power rating. The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 offers superior temperature coefficient performance at ±5ppm/°C compared to ±25ppm/°C of the original part. This component maintains active product status and carries full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The packaging format is Tape & Reel (TR), suitable for automated assembly processes. This part is the preferred substitute for direct replacement applications.

ERA-6AEB2371V (Panasonic Electronic Components - Alternative Substitute)

The ERA-6AEB2371V from Panasonic Electronic Components provides functional equivalence with a tolerance specification of ±0.1%, which is relaxed compared to the original ±0.02% specification. This component is suitable for applications where the tighter tolerance of the original part is not a circuit requirement. The ERA-6AEB2371V maintains identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The maximum seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the original part; this difference must be evaluated for PCB layout and assembly clearance constraints. This part offers the highest inventory availability at 14,253 pieces and is packaged in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when tolerance relaxation is acceptable and cost or availability considerations are primary factors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RG2012V-2371-P-T1 be used as a direct replacement for the RG2012P-2371-P-T1?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RG2012P-2371-P-T1. Both components share identical resistance (2.37 kOhms), tolerance (±0.02%), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±5ppm/°C versus ±25ppm/°C) and maintains active product status.

Q: What is the key difference between the RG2012V-2371-P-T1 and ERA-6AEB2371V?

A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 maintains ±0.02% tolerance matching the original part, while the ERA-6AEB2371V has ±0.1% tolerance. Both components meet all other electrical and mechanical requirements including resistance value, power rating, package type, and AEC-Q200 qualification. The ERA-6AEB2371V has a slightly greater maximum seated height (0.024" versus 0.020").

Q: Is the ERA-6AEB2371V suitable for applications requiring ±0.02% tolerance?

A: The ERA-6AEB2371V carries ±0.1% tolerance specification and is not suitable for applications with strict ±0.02% tolerance requirements. For circuits requiring the original ±0.02% tolerance specification, the RG2012V-2371-P-T1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are all three components AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. The RG2012P-2371-P-T1, RG2012V-2371-P-T1, and ERA-6AEB2371V all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are suitable for automotive applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The ERA-6AEB2371V is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both formats are compatible with standard automated assembly equipment.

Q: Does the height difference between RG2012V-2371-P-T1 and ERA-6AEB2371V affect PCB assembly?

A: The RG2012V-2371-P-T1 has a maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm), while the ERA-6AEB2371V has 0.024" (0.60mm). This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, component clearances, and assembly specifications. For most standard 0805 package applications, both heights are within acceptable tolerances.

Q: What is the RoHS and REACH compliance status of these parts?

A: All three components (RG2012P-2371-P-T1, RG2012V-2371-P-T1, and ERA-6AEB2371V) are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
