Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG2012V-2611-C-T5 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant across all alternatives:

Fixed Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Resistance value: 2.61 kOhms
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±5ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Anti-sulfur construction
• RoHS3 compliance

Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Tolerance: The original part specifies ±0.25%. Substitute parts with tighter tolerances (±0.1%, ±0.05%, ±0.02%) are electrically compatible and represent performance upgrades, as they maintain the same resistance value within a narrower specification band.

All substitute parts listed maintain identical mechanical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W, 2.00mm x 1.25mm) and electrical characteristics except for tolerance specifications, which are tightened in the active alternatives.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: RG2012V-2611-W-T5

The RG2012V-2611-W-T5 is the preferred direct substitute for the obsolete RG2012V-2611-C-T5. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering a tighter tolerance of ±0.05% compared to the original ±0.25%. The part is currently in active production status with 1135 units in stock. The tolerance upgrade provides improved circuit accuracy without requiring any design modifications or PCB layout changes.

Secondary Recommendations (Tolerance-Dependent Selection):

• RG2012V-2611-B-T5: Select this part when ±0.1% tolerance is acceptable and cost optimization is a priority. This represents a moderate tolerance improvement over the original specification.

• RG2012V-2611-W-T1: This variant offers the same ±0.05% tolerance as the primary recommendation but with different tape reel specifications (T1 vs. T5). Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and reel format requirements.

• RG2012V-2611-P-T1: This part provides the tightest tolerance specification at ±0.02% and is suitable for precision analog circuits requiring maximum resistance accuracy. The T1 reel format must be verified against assembly equipment specifications.

All substitute parts carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. All alternatives maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance, meeting the same regulatory and reliability requirements as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG2012V-2611-W-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG2012V-2611-C-T5 without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-2611-W-T5 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. Both parts share identical resistance values (2.61 kOhms), power ratings (0.125W), package dimensions (0805), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). The tighter tolerance of ±0.05% in the substitute part is a performance upgrade that does not require circuit modifications.

Q: What is the difference between the T1 and T5 tape reel formats?

A: The T1 and T5 designations refer to different tape reel specifications used in automated assembly equipment. T1 and T5 represent different reel configurations and tape pitch standards. Selection between these formats depends on the specific requirements of your assembly equipment. Verify your equipment's compatibility before ordering.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (RG2012V-2611-B-T5, RG2012V-2611-P-T1, RG2012V-2611-W-T1, and RG2012V-2611-W-T5) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification identical to the original part. All are suitable for automotive applications requiring this certification.

Q: What does the tolerance specification mean for circuit performance?

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum deviation of the actual resistance value from the nominal 2.61 kOhms specification. The original part allows ±0.25% deviation (2.5975 kOhms to 2.6225 kOhms). Substitute parts with tighter tolerances (±0.1%, ±0.05%, ±0.02%) provide resistance values closer to the nominal specification, improving circuit accuracy in applications sensitive to component value variations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance status of the original RG2012V-2611-C-T5.

Q: Can I use RG2012V-2611-P-T1 (±0.02% tolerance) in place of the original ±0.25% part?

A: Yes. The RG2012V-2611-P-T1 is electrically and mechanically compatible. The tighter ±0.02% tolerance represents a performance upgrade and will not cause circuit incompatibility. This part is suitable for precision applications requiring maximum resistance accuracy.

Q: What is the current availability status of substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are in active production status with current inventory: RG2012V-2611-B-T5 (1017 units), RG2012V-2611-P-T1 (926 units), RG2012V-2611-W-T1 (958 units), and RG2012V-2611-W-T5 (1135 units).
