Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012V-121-C-T5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

  • Resistance value: 120 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W) (exact match required)
  • Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
  • Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
  • Temperature coefficient: ±5ppm/°C (exact match required)
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
  • Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
  • Anti-sulfur construction (exact match required)

Variable Parameter (Substitution Basis):

  • Tolerance specification: Substitute parts offer improved tolerance grades (±0.1%, ±0.05%, ±0.02%) compared to the main part (±0.25%). Tighter tolerance specifications are electrically and mechanically compatible with applications designed for ±0.25% tolerance.

All substitute parts maintain identical physical dimensions, termination count, RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating, and REACH status as the main part.
