Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RCP1206B200RJS3 is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Power rating: 2.4W
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance may be tighter (improved specification)
• RoHS compliance status may differ
• Inventory availability may vary

The RCP1206W200RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±2% versus ±5%).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RCP1206W200RGEB serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the RCP1206B200RJS3. Both components are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain identical resistance, power rating, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics.

The primary distinction is tolerance specification: RCP1206W200RGEB provides ±2% tolerance compared to ±5% for the RCP1206B200RJS3. This tighter tolerance may be required for applications with stringent accuracy requirements.

Additionally, RCP1206W200RGEB achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas RCP1206B200RJS3 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and tolerance specifications applicable to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W200RGEB replace RCP1206B200RJS3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical parameters (200 Ohms, 2.4W), thermal characteristics (±150ppm/°C, -65°C ~ 155°C), and mechanical specifications (1206 package, 0.122" x 0.060" dimensions). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RCP1206W200RGEB offers improved tolerance specification at ±2% compared to ±5% for the RCP1206B200RJS3. Additionally, RCP1206W200RGEB is ROHS3 compliant while RCP1206B200RJS3 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) and maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Does tolerance difference affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance difference is application-dependent. The ±2% tolerance of RCP1206W200RGEB provides tighter resistance accuracy compared to ±5% of RCP1206B200RJS3. Applications requiring precise resistance values benefit from the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. Both RCP1206B200RJS3 and RCP1206W200RGEB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.
