Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206B10R0GS6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 10 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±2% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 2.4W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±150ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Moisture Resistance: Required feature (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RCP1206W10R0GEB maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the same RCP series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP1206B10R0GS6 and RCP1206W10R0GEB are Active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RCP1206B10R0GS6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is required.

RCP1206W10R0GEB (Cut Tape packaging) is suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or situations where individual component handling is preferred. This part additionally carries ROHS3 compliance certification, which may be required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W10R0GEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP1206B10R0GS6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape). PCB footprint, soldering characteristics, and electrical performance are identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not an electrical or mechanical parameter. RCP1206W10R0GEB's ROHS3 compliance makes it suitable for applications with RoHS requirements, while RCP1206B10R0GS6 remains suitable for applications without such restrictions.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) with maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB layout and assembly considerations are identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor category?

A: Substitution eligibility is strictly determined by: resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package type, composition, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and moisture resistance features. All these parameters must match exactly between the main part and substitute.
