Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RG2012V-2610-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 261 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thin Film (exact match required)
• Features: Anti-Sulfur, Automotive AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±5ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Variable Parameter (Substitution Basis):

• Tolerance: The main part specifies ±0.25%. Substitute parts with equal or tighter (lower) tolerance values are functionally equivalent and directly interchangeable, as tighter tolerance specifications represent enhanced precision without compromising circuit performance.

All four substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for tolerance ratings, which range from ±0.25% down to ±0.02%, providing upgrade paths for applications requiring higher precision.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution Criteria:

All four substitute parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RG2012V-2610-C-T5 based on identical core specifications: 261 Ohms resistance, 0.125W power rating, 0805 package, thin film composition, anti-sulfur coating, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Product Status Advantage:

The main part RG2012V-2610-C-T5 is classified as obsolete. All substitute parts (RG2012V-2610-B-T5, RG2012V-2610-P-T1, RG2012V-2610-W-T1, and RG2012V-2610-W-T5) maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production runs.

Tolerance-Based Selection:

Selection among substitute parts depends on circuit precision requirements:

• RG2012V-2610-W-T5 and RG2012V-2610-W-T1: ±0.05% tolerance provides moderate precision improvement over the original ±0.25% specification.
• RG2012V-2610-B-T5: ±0.1% tolerance offers intermediate precision enhancement.
• RG2012V-2610-P-T1: ±0.02% tolerance delivers maximum precision for applications requiring tight resistance value control.

Compliance Assurance:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with automotive, industrial, and high-reliability applications without additional qualification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012V-2610-C-T5 be directly replaced with any of the substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts are direct replacements. They share identical resistance value (261 Ohms), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), composition (thin film), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). The only difference is tolerance specification, which is tighter (more precise) in all substitutes, making them functionally equivalent or superior for circuit performance.

Q: What is the primary reason to switch from the main part to a substitute?

A: The RG2012V-2610-C-T5 is obsolete. All substitute parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring reliable sourcing for current and future production requirements.

Q: How do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum deviation from the nominal 261 Ohm resistance value. The main part allows ±0.25% deviation (approximately ±0.65 Ohms). Substitute parts with tighter tolerances (±0.05%, ±0.1%, ±0.02%) provide resistance values closer to the nominal specification. Selection depends on circuit sensitivity to resistance variation. Tighter tolerance substitutes do not negatively impact circuits designed for the original ±0.25% tolerance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: All parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions: 0.079" L × 0.049" W (2.00mm × 1.25mm) with 0.020" maximum seated height. Substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for production environments. No PCB layout or assembly modifications are required.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for maximum precision?

A: RG2012V-2610-P-T1 offers the tightest tolerance at ±0.02%, suitable for precision analog circuits, measurement instrumentation, and applications where resistance value accuracy is critical. This part maintains all other specifications identical to the main part while providing superior precision.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, identical to the main part. This certification confirms suitability for automotive and high-reliability applications across the specified operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are in active production with confirmed new original stock: RG2012V-2610-B-T5 (1038 pcs), RG2012V-2610-P-T1 (1059 pcs), RG2012V-2610-W-T1 (1063 pcs), and RG2012V-2610-W-T5 (990 pcs). The main part RG2012V-2610-C-T5 has 912 pcs available but is obsolete.
