RG2012P-8870-B-T5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RG2012P-8870-B-T5 is an 887 Ohm thin film chip resistor manufactured by Susumu in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package. This surface mount device is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation with ±0.1% tolerance and is qualified to the AEC-Q200 automotive standard with anti-sulfur coating. The component is active in production and widely used in automotive and precision analog applications requiring tight tolerance resistors. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified for applications where alternative manufacturers' components or higher power ratings are acceptable within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012P-8870-B-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 887 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Power Rating: May be equal or higher than 0.125W (1/8W)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable
• AEC-Q200 Automotive Rating: Not required for substitution but present in primary part

The identified substitute parts ERA-6AEB8870V and 1-2176092-3 meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The TE Connectivity part 1-2176092-3 features a higher power rating of 0.25W (1/4W), which is acceptable for direct substitution in applications where the original 0.125W rating is not a limiting constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ERA-6AEB8870V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is the primary equivalent substitute for the RG2012P-8870-B-T5. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 887 Ohm resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0.125W power rating. Both components carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The ERA-6AEB8870V is suitable for direct replacement in automotive and precision applications where AEC-Q200 compliance is required.

1-2176092-3 (TE Connectivity Passive Product) is an acceptable substitute where power dissipation margin is not a design constraint. This part matches all critical electrical parameters and maintains the same 0805 package footprint. The higher 0.25W power rating provides additional thermal headroom in applications where the original 0.125W specification is not a limiting factor. This part does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for non-automotive or general-purpose applications.

Selection between substitutes depends on application requirements: choose ERA-6AEB8870V for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance; choose 1-2176092-3 for general-purpose applications where higher power rating is beneficial and automotive qualification is not required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-2176092-3 substitute for the RG2012P-8870-B-T5 in automotive applications?

A: The 1-2176092-3 is electrically and mechanically compatible but does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Use only in non-automotive applications or where automotive qualification is not a design requirement. For automotive applications, use ERA-6AEB8870V.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating on the 1-2176092-3?

A: The 1-2176092-3 is rated for 0.25W (1/4W) compared to the original 0.125W (1/8W). This higher rating provides additional thermal margin and is acceptable for direct substitution. The component will not dissipate more power than the circuit design specifies; the higher rating simply indicates greater capability.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically interchangeable in the 0805 package?

A: All three parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 1.25mm W. Seated heights vary slightly: RG2012P-8870-B-T5 at 0.020" (0.50mm), ERA-6AEB8870V at 0.024" (0.60mm), and 1-2176092-3 at 0.026" (0.65mm). These height variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect mechanical interchangeability.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS and MSL requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture handling is required during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the Susumu RG series and Panasonic ERA-6A series?

A: Both are thin film 0805 chip resistors with identical electrical specifications for this 887 Ohm value. The primary difference is manufacturer and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is present on both the Susumu RG2012P-8870-B-T5 and Panasonic ERA-6AEB8870V but not on the TE Connectivity part.

Q: Can I use ERA-6AEB8870V as a drop-in replacement without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. The ERA-6AEB8870V is a direct equivalent with matching resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating, and package. No circuit redesign is required.
