Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP0505W50R0GS3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 50 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power rating: 1.4W
• Package type: 0505 (1412 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture resistance feature
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part RCP0505W50R0GEB meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the RCP series and share identical functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP0505W50R0GS3 and RCP0505W50R0GEB are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: RCP0505W50R0GS3 is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP0505W50R0GEB is ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, RCP0505W50R0GEB is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is functionally suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP0505W50R0GEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP0505W50R0GS3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The parts are interchangeable from a functional standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance certification. RCP0505W50R0GS3 is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP0505W50R0GEB is ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 0505 (1412 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.055" L x 0.050" W (1.40mm x 1.27mm) and maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are footprint-compatible for PCB assembly.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. No baking or desiccant storage is required.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided regulatory and compliance requirements for your application are satisfied. Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your end market before final selection.
