Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012V-162-B-T1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.6 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±5ppm/°C
• Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification
• RoHS3 compliance

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal or tighter (±0.1%, ±0.05%, ±0.02%)
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) substitutes for bulk packaging
• Manufacturer: Cross-manufacturer substitution permitted when all electrical and mechanical parameters align
• Operating temperature range: May be equal or extended

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents (matching tolerance ±0.1%) and upgraded tolerance alternatives (tighter tolerance specifications). All substitutes maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical performance characteristics, and automotive qualification standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Substitutes (Matching ±0.1% Tolerance):

RG2012V-162-B-T5 and TNPU08051K60BZEN00 are direct functional equivalents to the RG2012V-162-B-T1. Both maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. RG2012V-162-B-T5 is the preferred Susumu equivalent with active product status and identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). TNPU08051K60BZEN00 from Vishay Dale provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with additional moisture-resistant features; however, its operating temperature range is limited to -55°C ~ 125°C, which may restrict use in applications requiring the full -55°C ~ 155°C range.

Upgraded Tolerance Alternatives:

RG2012V-162-P-T1 (±0.02% tolerance) and RG2012V-162-W-T1 / RG2012V-162-W-T5 (±0.05% tolerance) are precision upgrades suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerances. These parts maintain all other electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the main part. Selection between these upgraded options depends on circuit precision requirements and tolerance budget constraints. All upgraded alternatives carry active product status.

Packaging Consideration:

The main part RG2012V-162-B-T1 is specified with bulk packaging. All substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is the standard production packaging for SMD components and is compatible with automated assembly processes.

Compliance and Certification:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with automotive and high-reliability applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012V-162-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012V-162-B-T1?

A: Yes. RG2012V-162-B-T5 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (1.6 kOhms ±0.1%, 0.125W, ±5ppm/°C) and mechanical dimensions (0805 package). The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and active product status. Both parts are qualified to AEC-Q200 and operate across -55°C ~ 155°C.

Q: What is the difference between the Susumu RG series substitutes?

A: The Susumu RG2012V-162 series substitutes differ in tolerance specification. RG2012V-162-B-T1/T5 maintain ±0.1% tolerance matching the original part. RG2012V-162-W-T1/T5 provide ±0.05% tolerance (5x tighter). RG2012V-162-P-T1 provides ±0.02% tolerance (50x tighter). All other parameters remain identical. Selection depends on circuit precision requirements.

Q: Is TNPU08051K60BZEN00 suitable for all applications using RG2012V-162-B-T1?

A: TNPU08051K60BZEN00 is functionally equivalent for most applications. However, its maximum operating temperature is 125°C compared to 155°C for the original part. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use RG2012V-162-B-T5 or other Susumu alternatives. TNPU08051K60BZEN00 includes additional moisture-resistant features beneficial for high-humidity environments.

Q: Why is the main part RG2012V-162-B-T1 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. RG2012V-162-B-T5 is the active production equivalent from Susumu with identical specifications. For new designs or production requirements, RG2012V-162-B-T5 is the recommended primary source.

Q: Can upgraded tolerance parts (±0.05%, ±0.02%) be used in place of ±0.1% specifications?

A: Yes. Upgraded tolerance parts are backward compatible with designs specifying ±0.1% tolerance. Tighter tolerance specifications provide improved circuit performance and stability. No circuit modifications are required when substituting with upgraded tolerance alternatives.

Q: What is the significance of the T1 and T5 designations in Susumu part numbers?

A: The T1 and T5 designations indicate packaging tape specifications. T1 and T5 both represent Tape & Reel formats suitable for automated assembly. Both are functionally equivalent for component selection purposes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications with RoHS requirements. Moisture Sensitivity Level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all parts, indicating no special moisture handling precautions are required.

Q: What is the maximum seated height difference between parts?

A: RG2012V-162-B-T1, RG2012V-162-B-T5, RG2012V-162-P-T1, RG2012V-162-W-T1, and RG2012V-162-W-T5 have maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). TNPU08051K60BZEN00 has maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). This 0.002" (0.05mm) difference is negligible for most PCB designs but should be verified for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.
