RCP1206W100RJS2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCP1206W100RJS2 is a 100 Ohms ±5% 2.4W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Vishay Dale. This component is actively produced and widely used in applications requiring moisture-resistant surface-mount resistors with moderate tolerance specifications. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained while offering improved specifications or enhanced availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W100RJS2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 2.4W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Features: Moisture Resistant (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±150ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) (exact match required)

Tolerance may vary within acceptable engineering limits when all other parameters remain identical. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RCP1206W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute for RCP1206W100RJS2 based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part offers improved tolerance (±2% versus ±5%), which provides tighter resistance accuracy without compromising any other parameter. RCP1206W100RGEB achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain active product status and identical operating characteristics across temperature, power, and physical dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206W100RJS2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (100 Ohms), power rating (2.4W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions and MSL ratings are identical. The substitute part features improved tolerance (±2% vs. ±5%).

Q: What is the difference in tolerance between these parts?

A: RCP1206W100RJS2 has ±5% tolerance, while RCP1206W100RGEB has ±2% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of the substitute part provides greater resistance accuracy for applications requiring stricter component specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: RCP1206W100RJS2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RCP1206W100RGEB is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RCP1206W100RJS2 is RoHS non-compliant. RCP1206W100RGEB is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, RCP1206W100RGEB is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) with maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts.
