Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-2610-D-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 261 Ohms
• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal or tighter (±0.5% or better)
• Power rating: May be equal or higher (0.125W or greater)
• Automotive rating: May be present or absent (AEC-Q200 is optional for substitution)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as follows:

Direct Substitute (Electrical Upgrade): 6-2176091-3 by TE Connectivity Passive Product provides tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and higher power rating (0.25W) while maintaining identical package and thermal specifications.

Upgrade Substitute (Electrical & Automotive Equivalent): ERA-6AEB2610V by Panasonic Electronic Components provides tighter tolerance (±0.1%) while maintaining identical power rating (0.125W) and includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification matching the original part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012P-2610-D-T5 (Primary Part): Select this part for applications requiring automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with anti-sulfur coating and standard ±0.5% tolerance. The part is actively produced with established supply availability.

6-2176091-3 (Direct Substitute - Electrical Upgrade): Select this part when circuit design permits higher power dissipation capability (0.25W vs. 0.125W) and tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±0.5%) is required. This part does not carry automotive AEC-Q200 rating. Physical height is 0.026" (0.65mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the primary part; verify PCB clearance in space-constrained layouts.

ERA-6AEB2610V (Upgrade Substitute - Electrical & Automotive Equivalent): Select this part as a direct functional equivalent when tighter tolerance (±0.1%) is required while maintaining identical power rating (0.125W) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Physical height is 0.024" (0.60mm), which is intermediate between the primary part and the TE Connectivity substitute. This part is actively produced with high inventory availability.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, operate across -55°C to 155°C, and feature MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 6-2176091-3 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012P-2610-D-T5?

A: Yes, 6-2176091-3 is electrically compatible. Both parts share identical resistance (261 Ohms), package (0805), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The TE Connectivity part provides superior tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±0.5%) and higher power rating (0.25W vs. 0.125W). However, it lacks automotive AEC-Q200 certification and has greater seated height (0.026" vs. 0.020"). Verify that the application does not require automotive qualification and that PCB layout accommodates the increased height.

Q: Can ERA-6AEB2610V be used as a direct replacement for RG2012P-2610-D-T5?

A: Yes, ERA-6AEB2610V is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (261 Ohms), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), composition (thin film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and automotive AEC-Q200 certification. The Panasonic part provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±0.5%) and intermediate seated height (0.024" vs. 0.020"). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the ±0.5% vs. ±0.1% tolerance difference?

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum deviation of the actual resistance value from the nominal 261 Ohm specification. The RG2012P-2610-D-T5 allows deviation up to ±1.305 Ohms (261 × 0.5%), while both substitute parts limit deviation to ±0.261 Ohms (261 × 0.1%). Tighter tolerance is beneficial for precision circuits but is not required for general-purpose applications. Select tighter tolerance only when circuit performance depends on precise resistance values.

Q: Does the 0805 package dimension differ between these parts?

A: The length and width dimensions are identical across all three parts: 0.079" L × 0.049" W (2.00mm × 1.25mm). The seated height varies: RG2012P-2610-D-T5 is 0.020" (0.50mm), 6-2176091-3 is 0.026" (0.65mm), and ERA-6AEB2610V is 0.024" (0.60mm). Verify PCB layout clearance, particularly for space-constrained designs or applications with low-profile component height requirements.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The RG2012P-2610-D-T5 and ERA-6AEB2610V both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The 6-2176091-3 does not specify automotive rating. For applications requiring automotive compliance, select either the primary part or the Panasonic ERA-6AEB2610V substitute.

Q: What is the difference between anti-sulfur coating and standard thin film construction?

A: The RG2012P-2610-D-T5 specifies anti-sulfur coating, which is not mentioned for the substitute parts. Anti-sulfur coating provides protection against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. If the application environment includes sulfur exposure, verify that substitute parts provide equivalent protection or select the primary part.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or assembly.
