Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W100RJS6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value must remain 100 Ohms
• Power rating must be 2.4W or greater
• Package / Case must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition must be Thick Film
• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C ~ 155°C
• Temperature coefficient must be ±150ppm/°C or better
• Moisture resistant feature must be maintained
• Number of terminations must be 2

The RCP1206W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary distinction is an improved tolerance specification (±2% versus ±5%), which represents an upgrade in precision without compromising any core electrical or mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RCP1206W100RGEB serves as a direct substitute for the RCP1206W100RJS6 in applications where improved tolerance performance is required. The ±2% tolerance specification of the substitute part provides tighter resistance value control compared to the ±5% tolerance of the original part, while all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

The RCP1206W100RGEB additionally offers ROHS3 compliance, which may be required for applications subject to regulatory or customer-mandated environmental standards. The original RCP1206W100RJS6 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a design requirement.

Both parts maintain identical thermal characteristics, moisture resistance properties, and physical dimensions, ensuring direct footprint compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W100RGEB replace RCP1206W100RJS6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RCP1206W100RGEB is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RCP1206W100RJS6. Both components share identical resistance values, power ratings, package dimensions, and thermal operating ranges. The substitute part features improved tolerance (±2% versus ±5%) and ROHS3 compliance.

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

A: The tolerance specification differs. RCP1206W100RJS6 has ±5% tolerance, while RCP1206W100RGEB has ±2% tolerance. Additionally, RCP1206W100RGEB is ROHS3 compliant, whereas RCP1206W100RJS6 is not.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) format with identical length (0.122" / 3.10mm), width (0.060" / 1.52mm), and maximum seated height (0.025" / 0.64mm). They are directly interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: RCP1206W100RJS6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RCP1206W100RGEB is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: RCP1206W100RGEB is ROHS3 compliant and should be selected for applications requiring RoHS compliance. RCP1206W100RJS6 is not RoHS compliant.
