RCP1206W100RGS6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCP1206W100RGS6 is a 100 Ohms ±2% 2.4W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Vishay Dale. This moisture-resistant thick film resistor is designed for high-power applications requiring stable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, supply chain constraints, or specific compliance requirements for end-use applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP1206W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute for the RCP1206W100RGS6 based on the following critical parameters:

• 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
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: RCP1206W100RGS6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while RCP1206W100RGEB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Both formats are standard industry packaging options suitable for automated assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP1206W100RGS6 and RCP1206W100RGEB are electrically and mechanically identical and suitable for direct substitution in 1206 package applications requiring 100 Ohms ±2% at 2.4W power dissipation.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging format requirements: Tape & Reel (TR) for RCP1206W100RGS6 or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® for RCP1206W100RGEB
• Regulatory compliance: RCP1206W100RGEB meets ROHS3 compliance, while RCP1206W100RGS6 is RoHS non-compliant
• Supply availability: RCP1206W100RGEB currently has higher inventory (2802 Pcs) compared to RCP1206W100RGS6 (1114 Pcs)

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206W100RGS6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The only differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

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

A: Tape & Reel is a continuous reel format optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® provides flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-component orders. Both formats contain the same component and are compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement dependent on end-use application and market region. RCP1206W100RGEB (ROHS3 compliant) is suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification. RCP1206W100RGS6 (RoHS non-compliant) may be restricted in certain markets. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) with maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are footprint-compatible on PCBs designed for 1206 package resistors.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are compatible with standard SMD pick-and-place equipment. Packaging format differences (TR vs. CT & Digi-Reel®) may require feeder adjustments, but component performance and PCB placement are identical.
