Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-3163-D-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 316 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±0.5%
• Power Rating: May be equal to or higher than 0.125W (1/8W)
• Automotive Rating: AEC-Q200 qualification is preferred but not mandatory for all applications
• Anti-Sulfur Feature: Present in main part; absence does not disqualify substitutes

Three substitute parts meet these criteria with varying tolerance and power rating specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG2012P-3163-B-T5 (Susumu Upgrade)

This substitute offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) while maintaining identical power rating, package, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Both parts are manufactured by Susumu within the same RG series. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring improved tolerance performance without power rating changes. Higher inventory availability (5664 units) supports supply chain continuity.

4-2176094-1 (TE Connectivity Direct)

This substitute provides increased power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W) with tighter tolerance (±0.1%) in the same 0805 package. Manufactured by TE Connectivity as part of the RP73P Holsworthy series, this part does not carry explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection is appropriate for applications where higher power dissipation capability is beneficial and automotive qualification is not a design requirement. Inventory availability is 1935 units.

ERA-6AEB3163V (Panasonic Upgrade)

This substitute offers tighter tolerance (±0.1%) while maintaining identical power rating and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Manufactured by Panasonic within the ERA-6A series, this part provides an alternative source for automotive-qualified 316 kOhms 0805 resistors. Selection is appropriate for supply chain diversification and design flexibility across manufacturers. Highest inventory availability (24018 units) supports extended production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012P-3163-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012P-3163-D-T5?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (316 kOhms), package (0805), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The RG2012P-3163-B-T5 features tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), which is a compatible upgrade for applications where improved tolerance is beneficial or neutral.

Q: What is the key difference between 4-2176094-1 and the main part RG2012P-3163-D-T5?

A: The 4-2176094-1 provides higher power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W) and tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%). Both maintain the same 316 kOhms resistance and 0805 package. The primary distinction is that 4-2176094-1 does not carry explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection depends on whether automotive qualification is required for the application.

Q: Is ERA-6AEB3163V suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERA-6AEB3163V carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification identical to the main part RG2012P-3163-D-T5. It provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) while maintaining the same power rating (0.125W), package (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C).

Q: Can I use a substitute with higher power rating in place of the original part?

A: Yes. The 4-2176094-1 with 0.25W (1/4W) rating can be used in applications designed for 0.125W (1/8W) components. Higher power rating provides additional thermal margin and does not create compatibility issues in standard PCB layouts using 0805 package footprints.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (RG2012P-3163-B-T5, 4-2176094-1, and ERA-6AEB3163V) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part RG2012P-3163-D-T5.

Q: What is the difference in physical dimensions between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079" / 2.00mm) and width (0.049" / 1.25mm). Maximum seated height varies slightly: RG2012P-3163-D-T5 and RG2012P-3163-B-T5 are 0.020" (0.50mm), 4-2176094-1 is 0.026" (0.65mm), and ERA-6AEB3163V is 0.024" (0.60mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 components.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: ERA-6AEB3163V (Panasonic) offers the highest inventory with 24018 units in stock, followed by RG2012P-3163-B-T5 (Susumu) with 5664 units, and 4-2176094-1 (TE Connectivity) with 1935 units.
