Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RG3216N-8872-B-T1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 88.7 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Temperature coefficient: ±10ppm/°C or better
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance & Certification:

• Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification
• ROHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Substitute parts must match all electrical parameters and package specifications. Tolerance variations and packaging format differences are permitted when the core electrical and mechanical specifications align with the original component requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RG3216N-8872-B-T5 (Direct Susumu Equivalent)

The RG3216N-8872-B-T5 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RG3216N-8872-B-T1. Both components share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package type, and temperature specifications. The primary difference is product status: RG3216N-8872-B-T5 is active and available in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the original part is obsolete. This substitute maintains full compatibility with existing designs and certifications.

RG3216N-8872-W-T1 (Upgraded Susumu Alternative)

The RG3216N-8872-W-T1 offers improved tolerance specification at ±0.05% compared to the original ±0.1%. All other electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and certifications remain equivalent. This component is active and available in Tape & Reel format. Selection of this upgrade is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control while maintaining identical package footprint and thermal characteristics.

ERA-8ARB8872V (Cross-Manufacturer Alternative)

The ERA-8ARB8872V from Panasonic Electronic Components provides equivalent electrical performance with matching 88.7 kOhms resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, and 1206 package specification. All automotive and compliance certifications align with the original component. This cross-manufacturer option is active and available in Tape & Reel packaging. Maximum seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the original; verification of PCB clearance is required for applications with height constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RG3216N-8872-B-T5 be used as a direct replacement for RG3216N-8872-B-T1?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical with 88.7 kOhms ±0.1% resistance, 0.25W power rating, 1206 package, and equivalent thermal specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (active versus obsolete).

Q: What is the advantage of selecting RG3216N-8872-W-T1 over the original part?

A: The RG3216N-8872-W-T1 provides tighter tolerance at ±0.05% compared to ±0.1% of the original component. All other specifications remain identical. This upgrade is beneficial for precision applications requiring closer resistance value control.

Q: Is ERA-8ARB8872V compatible with existing PCB designs?

A: ERA-8ARB8872V is mechanically and electrically compatible with the original RG3216N-8872-B-T1 in terms of footprint and electrical performance. However, the maximum seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm) versus 0.020" (0.50mm) for the original. PCB clearance must be verified, particularly in applications with limited vertical space or where component height is a design constraint.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (RG3216N-8872-B-T5, RG3216N-8872-W-T1, and ERA-8ARB8872V) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original component's certifications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the standard format for automated assembly processes and high-volume production. Bulk packaging is typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component remain unchanged regardless of packaging format.

Q: Can these substitutes be used interchangeably in production?

A: RG3216N-8872-B-T5 and RG3216N-8872-B-T1 are fully interchangeable. RG3216N-8872-W-T1 is interchangeable with improved tolerance performance. ERA-8ARB8872V is interchangeable with the caveat that maximum seated height must be verified against PCB design constraints.
