Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012P-332-W-T5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 3.3 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±0.05%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Thin Film

Mechanical Specifications:

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

Compliance & Environmental:

• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1

The ERA-6ARW332V from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and automotive compliance ratings. Variations in temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±10ppm/°C) and seated height (0.020" vs. 0.024") remain within acceptable mechanical and thermal performance boundaries for equivalent circuit operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RG2012P-332-W-T5 and ERA-6ARW332V are active production components with full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences.

The RG2012P-332-W-T5 (Susumu) is suitable for applications requiring the specified anti-sulfur coating feature and the lower seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm).

The ERA-6ARW332V (Panasonic) provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with improved temperature coefficient stability (±10ppm/°C) and higher current inventory availability (3457 pieces in stock versus 760 pieces). The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) remains within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 package components.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in automotive and industrial applications operating within the -55°C to 155°C temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERA-6ARW332V replace RG2012P-332-W-T5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (3.3 kOhms), tolerance (±0.05%), power rating (0.125W), package format (0805), and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The 0.004" (0.10mm) difference in seated height does not affect PCB assembly or circuit performance.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The ERA-6ARW332V has a temperature coefficient of ±10ppm/°C compared to ±25ppm/°C for the RG2012P-332-W-T5. This means the Panasonic part exhibits lower resistance drift across temperature variations. For precision analog circuits, the ERA-6ARW332V provides tighter performance stability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the RG2012P-332-W-T5 and ERA-6ARW332V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. Both are rated for the full automotive temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Q: What does the 0805 package designation mean?

A: The 0805 designation refers to the 2012 Metric package format, with physical dimensions of 0.079" length by 0.049" width (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Both substitute parts use this identical package, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly equipment.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns?

A: No. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life and no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

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

A: The RG2012P-332-W-T5 includes anti-sulfur coating as a feature, which provides additional protection against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. The ERA-6ARW332V does not specify this feature but maintains equivalent electrical performance and automotive qualification.
