RUT2012FR360CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RUT2012FR360CS is a 360 mOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, designed for current sensing applications in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This component operates across -55°C to 155°C and delivers 0.25W power rating with moisture-resistant construction. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align with the main part's functional requirements, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RUT2012FR360CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 360 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package designation: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 2.00mm L × 1.25mm W
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• Active product status

The ERJ-U6QFR36V from Panasonic Electronic Components satisfies all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters, establishing it as a direct equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RUT2012FR360CS and ERJ-U6QFR36V maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The ERJ-U6QFR36V incorporates AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and anti-sulfur construction, providing additional environmental protection suitable for automotive and harsh-environment applications. The seated height differential of 0.04mm (0.65mm versus 0.61mm) remains within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact functional performance.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements: the RUT2012FR360CS for general industrial current sensing, and the ERJ-U6QFR36V for automotive or corrosive-environment deployments where AEC-Q200 qualification is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-U6QFR36V replace RUT2012FR360CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (360 mOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±150ppm/°C), mechanical dimensions (0805 package, 2.00mm × 1.25mm), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The 0.04mm height difference is within standard assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the ERJ-U6QFR36V?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates the part meets automotive industry reliability standards for passive components. This qualification is relevant only if the application requires automotive-grade components; it does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for non-automotive uses.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts specify identical temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C) and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). Thermal performance is equivalent across the specified operating envelope.

Q: Does the anti-sulfur feature of ERJ-U6QFR36V affect substitution compatibility?

A: No. Anti-sulfur construction is an additional protective feature that enhances reliability in sulfur-rich environments but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility. It represents a performance enhancement rather than a compatibility constraint.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format in 0805 (2012 Metric) package configuration, ensuring compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly equipment and processes.
