Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-2373-B-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Resistance value: 237 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Number of Terminations: 2

Compliance & Environmental Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rated (preferred for automotive applications)

Flexible Parameters (Substitution Allowed):

• Power rating: May be equal to or greater than 0.125W

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent (Direct Substitution): ERA-6AEB2373V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is the primary equivalent for the RG2012P-2373-B-T5. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (237 kOhms ±0.1%, 0.125W, ±25ppm/°C), identical package dimensions (0805), and equivalent automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and ROHS3 Compliant. The ERA-6AEB2373V offers significantly higher inventory availability (53,125 pcs) compared to the main part (854 pcs), supporting supply chain continuity.

Secondary Equivalent (Higher Power Rating): 2-2176094-9 (TE Connectivity Passive Product) is functionally compatible with elevated power dissipation capability (0.25W versus 0.125W). This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, composition, temperature coefficient, and package specifications. The increased power rating provides design margin for applications with higher thermal stress. Operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity are equivalent. REACH status is vendor undefined; confirmation with supplier is required for applications with strict REACH compliance requirements.

Secondary Equivalent (Extended Temperature Range): TNPW0805237KBEEA (Vishay Dale) provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C versus -55°C ~ 155°C) and elevated power rating (0.26W). This part includes anti-sulfur coating and moisture-resistant features matching the main part specifications. All electrical parameters, package dimensions, and compliance certifications are equivalent. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended thermal operating envelope.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The ERA-6AEB2373V and TNPW0805237KBEEA are REACH Unaffected. The 2-2176094-9 carries vendor-undefined REACH status and requires verification for applications with mandatory REACH compliance requirements.

Automotive Applications: For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, ERA-6AEB2373V and TNPW0805237KBEEA are directly qualified. The 2-2176094-9 does not specify AEC-Q200 qualification and is not recommended for automotive applications with this requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-2176094-9 (0.25W) be used in place of the RG2012P-2373-B-T5 (0.125W)?

A: Yes. The 2-2176094-9 maintains identical resistance (237 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and package (0805). The higher power rating (0.25W) represents increased thermal capability and does not compromise electrical compatibility. Physical dimensions are identical. Height seated maximum is 0.026" (0.65mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm) for the main part; verify PCB clearance for height-constrained applications.

Q: Is the ERA-6AEB2373V suitable for automotive applications?
