• Power rating: 1.4W
• Package / Case: 0505 (1412 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Features: Moisture Resistant
• Number of Terminations: 2
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute part RCP0505W25R0GEB matches all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format: RCP0505B25R0GS2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while RCP0505W25R0GEB is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RCP0505W25R0GEB serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for RCP0505B25R0GS2. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: Choose RCP0505B25R0GS2 for Tape & Reel (TR) supply format; select RCP0505W25R0GEB for Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.
• Regulatory compliance: RCP0505W25R0GEB is ROHS3 compliant, while RCP0505B25R0GS2 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance must use RCP0505W25R0GEB.
• Both parts are Active product status and suitable for production use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP0505W25R0GEB replace RCP0505B25R0GS2 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is a continuous reel format suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides smaller quantities in tape format or alternative reel configuration. Both formats contain identical components; the choice depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance in RCP0505W25R0GEB indicates material composition restrictions but does not alter electrical specifications. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across the -65°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Are these parts interchangeable at the PCB assembly level?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 0505 (1412 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.055" L x 0.050" W, 1.40mm x 1.27mm) and height (0.025" / 0.64mm). PCB footprints and pick-and-place programming remain unchanged.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for storage?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. Both parts can be stored indefinitely under standard conditions without special moisture control procedures.
