RCP1206W100RGS2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCP1206W100RGS2 is a 100 Ohms ±2% 2.4W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Vishay Dale. This thick film, moisture-resistant component is designed for high-power applications requiring stable resistance values across extended temperature ranges. The part maintains Active product status and is available in Tape & Reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or when RoHS compliance requirements differ from the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W100RGS2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power rating: 2.4W
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture resistance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RCP1206W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: the original part uses Tape & Reel (TR) delivery, while the substitute uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® delivery. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the same RCP series and maintain Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RCP1206W100RGS2 and RCP1206W100RGEB are electrically and mechanically identical 100 Ohms 2.4W 1206 chip resistors from Vishay Dale's RCP series. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and regulatory compliance needs.

The RCP1206W100RGS2 is specified for applications requiring Tape & Reel packaging and where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or required by design specification.

The RCP1206W100RGEB is specified for applications requiring Cut Tape or Digi-Reel® packaging and where ROHS3 compliance is mandated. This part is preferred for designs subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and moisture resistance characteristics. Selection should be based on procurement packaging format and applicable regulatory compliance standards for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206W100RGS2 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 100 Ohms resistance, ±2% tolerance, 2.4W power rating, and 1206 package. The primary difference is packaging format and RoHS compliance status. Circuit performance is identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) provides components on continuous carrier tape wound on a reel for automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats. Both deliver the same component; packaging format differs based on assembly line requirements and inventory management preferences.

Q: Does RoHS3 compliance affect component performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory and material composition requirement, not a performance specification. Both parts deliver identical electrical and thermal characteristics. RoHS3 compliance is a procurement and regulatory requirement, not a functional difference.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) and maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor?

A: Substitution is based on matching resistance value (100 Ohms), tolerance (±2%), power rating (2.4W), package type (1206), composition (Thick Film), temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 155°C), and moisture resistance features. Packaging format and RoHS compliance are secondary selection criteria that do not affect electrical substitution.
