Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP1206B100RGS3 and RCP1206W100RGEB are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents within the Vishay Dale RCP series. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±2%
• Identical power rating: 2.4W
• Identical package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thick Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Identical moisture resistance feature and MSL rating

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: RCP1206B100RGS3 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RCP1206W100RGEB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain Active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the RCP series. Selection between RCP1206B100RGS3 and RCP1206W100RGEB should be based on:

Packaging requirements: RCP1206B100RGS3 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. RCP1206W100RGEB in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format accommodates lower-volume or mixed-component assembly scenarios.

Compliance requirements: RCP1206W100RGEB carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while RCP1206B100RGS3 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must specify RCP1206W100RGEB.

Inventory availability: Current stock levels differ between formats, with RCP1206W100RGEB showing higher availability (2802 Pcs) compared to RCP1206B100RGS3 (706 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206B100RGS3 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 100 Ohms resistance, ±2% tolerance, 2.4W power rating, and 1206 package dimensions are identical. Substitution is valid from a functional standpoint.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format provides components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not an electrical performance factor. If your application or region requires RoHS3 compliance, RCP1206W100RGEB must be specified. If RoHS compliance is not required, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB footprint and assembly clearances are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided packaging format compatibility with your assembly process. No circuit design changes are required. Both parts operate identically across the -65°C ~ 155°C temperature range with ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
