Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-2372-B-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 23.7 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Power rating: 0.125W minimum (equal or higher ratings are acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes meet this requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes meet this requirement)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on power rating alignment: direct equivalents matching 0.125W (1/8W) specifications, and higher-rated alternatives with 0.25W (1/4W) capability that maintain all other electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Power Rating):

The ERA-6AEB2372V (Panasonic) and RT0805BRD0723K7L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RG2012P-2372-B-T5. Both parts match all critical electrical parameters including 0.125W power rating, 23.7 kOhms resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and REACH Unaffected status. The ERA-6AEB2372V carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification matching the original part specification. The RT0805BRD0723K7L provides equivalent performance without automotive-specific certification. Seated height differences (0.024" vs. 0.020" for original) are within typical PCB design tolerances for 0805 packages.

Higher Power Rating Alternative:

The 3-2176093-9 (TE Connectivity) provides a 0.25W (1/4W) power rating while maintaining all other electrical specifications. This part is suitable for applications where increased thermal margin or higher power dissipation capability is beneficial. The seated height of 0.026" remains within standard 0805 package variation. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined for this part.

Automotive Applications:

For applications requiring automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, the ERA-6AEB2372V is the recommended substitute, as it explicitly carries this rating. The original RG2012P-2372-B-T5 also features anti-sulfur coating and AEC-Q200 qualification; the ERA-6AEB2372V maintains AEC-Q200 compliance.

Inventory Availability:

The ERA-6AEB2372V offers the highest inventory availability at 19,039 units in stock, followed by the 3-2176093-9 at 4,817 units, and RT0805BRD0723K7L at 1,201 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-2176093-9 (0.25W) be used as a direct replacement for the RG2012P-2372-B-T5 (0.125W)?

A: Yes. The 3-2176093-9 maintains all critical electrical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The higher power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W) provides additional thermal capability and does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for 0.125W operation. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical 0805 package dimensions and standard height variation.

Q: Are there differences in seated height between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The RG2012P-2372-B-T5 has a maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm), while the ERA-6AEB2372V and RT0805BRD0723K7L are 0.024" (0.60mm), and the 3-2176093-9 is 0.026" (0.65mm). These variations are within normal 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility for standard designs.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for automotive applications?

A: The ERA-6AEB2372V is recommended for automotive applications as it carries explicit AEC-Q200 qualification, matching the original part's automotive rating. The original RG2012P-2372-B-T5 also features anti-sulfur coating and AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS and environmental compliance requirements?

A: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The ERA-6AEB2372V and RT0805BRD0723K7L have REACH Unaffected status. The 3-2176093-9 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?

A: The primary difference is power rating. The ERA-6AEB2372V and RT0805BRD0723K7L match the original 0.125W specification, while the 3-2176093-9 provides 0.25W capability. All other electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating range) are identical across all substitutes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package with the same footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W). Seated height variations are within standard package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout or assembly processes.
