Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Automotive AEC-Q200 Applications:

When AEC-Q200 qualification is a design requirement, select from the following active alternatives:

RG3216N-8873-B-T5 (Susumu): Active product with ±0.1% tolerance, ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and AEC-Q200 rating. Represents direct upgrade from obsolete RG3216P-8873-C-T5 within same manufacturer family.
RG3216N-8873-W-T1 (Susumu): Active product with ±0.05% tolerance and AEC-Q200 rating. Provides highest tolerance specification available in Susumu RG series.
RG3216P-8873-B-T5 (Susumu): Active product with ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 rating. Maintains ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient matching original specification.
ERA-8AEB8873V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Active product with ±0.1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 rating. Cross-manufacturer alternative with established automotive qualification.

For Non-Automotive Applications:

When AEC-Q200 qualification is not required:

RT1206CRD07887KL (YAGEO): Active product with ±0.25% tolerance matching original specification. Direct functional equivalent without automotive-specific features.
RT1206BRD07887KL (YAGEO): Active product with ±0.1% tolerance. Provides improved tolerance specification.
RP73D2B887KBTDF (TE Connectivity Passive Product): Active product with ±0.1% tolerance and ±15ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

All recommended substitutes maintain 1206 package compatibility, 0.25W power rating, and -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding AEC-Q200 qualification, tolerance specification, and temperature coefficient performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace RG3216P-8873-C-T5 with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Direct replacement is possible only with parts meeting all mandatory compatibility parameters: 887 kOhms resistance, 0.25W power rating, 1206 package, -55°C to 155°C operating temperature, and RoHS3 compliance. All listed substitutes meet these criteria. However, if your design specifically requires AEC-Q200 qualification, only RG3216N-8873-B-T5, RG3216N-8873-W-T1, RG3216P-8873-B-T5, and ERA-8AEB8873V are suitable.

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

A: RG3216N-8873-B-T5 offers ±0.1% tolerance with ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient. RG3216N-8873-W-T1 provides the tightest tolerance at ±0.05% with ±10ppm/°C temperature coefficient. RG3216P-8873-B-T5 offers ±0.1% tolerance with ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, matching the original part's temperature coefficient. All three are active products with AEC-Q200 rating.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitutes?

A: While all substitutes use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package, minor dimensional variations exist. The original RG3216P-8873-C-T5 measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W × 0.020" H (max). YAGEO RT series parts measure 0.122" L × 0.063" W × 0.026" H (max). Panasonic ERA-8AEB8873V measures 0.126" L × 0.063" W × 0.028" H (max). TE Connectivity RP73D2B887KBTDF measures 0.120" L × 0.061" W × 0.026" H (max). These variations remain within standard 1206 footprint tolerances and do not affect PCB compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the best tolerance specification?

A: RG3216N-8873-W-T1 provides the tightest tolerance at ±0.05%, followed by multiple options at ±0.1% (RG3216N-8873-B-T5, RG3216P-8873-B-T5, ERA-8AEB8873V, RT1206BRD07887KL, and RP73D2B887KBTDF). The original RG3216P-8873-C-T5 specified ±0.25% tolerance, which is matched only by RT1206CRD07887KL among active products.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient specification?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates resistance value drift across the operating temperature range. The original part specifies ±25ppm/°C. Susumu RG3216N series offers improved ±10ppm/°C performance. TE Connectivity RP73D2B887KBTDF provides ±15ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficients result in more stable resistance values across temperature extremes, beneficial for precision analog circuits.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are RoHS3 compliant and have moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), matching the original part's environmental compliance profile.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: For new automotive designs requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, RG3216N-8873-B-T5 or RG3216N-8873-W-T1 (Susumu) are recommended as they represent active products within the same manufacturer family as the obsolete original. For non-automotive applications, YAGEO RT1206BRD07887KL or TE Connectivity RP73D2B887KBTDF provide active alternatives with improved tolerance specifications.
