Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP1206W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute 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 sensitivity level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference is packaging format: RCP1206B100RGS6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while RCP1206W100RGEB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RCP1206W100RGEB is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for RCP1206B100RGS6. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: Choose RCP1206B100RGS6 for Tape & Reel applications; select RCP1206W100RGEB for Cut Tape or Digi-Reel® supply chain requirements.
• Compliance requirements: RCP1206W100RGEB carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while RCP1206B100RGS6 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use RCP1206W100RGEB.
• Both parts are Active status and suitable for new designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206B100RGS6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 100 Ohm 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 packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components on tape segments or alternative reel formats, typically for lower-volume or mixed-component applications. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect component performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition requirement, not a performance specification. RCP1206W100RGEB (ROHS3 compliant) and RCP1206B100RGS6 (RoHS non-compliant) have identical electrical characteristics. Selection should be based on application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

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 footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts have MSL 1 rating, meaning they do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.
