Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W200RGS3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 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 feature
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct equivalents. Variations in RoHS compliance status or inventory availability do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RCP1206W200RGS3 and RCP1206W200RGEB are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements:

• RCP1206W200RGEB is specified for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• RCP1206W200RGS3 is suitable for applications without RoHS compliance mandates

Both parts maintain Active product status and are available from inventory. The choice between them depends solely on end-application compliance specifications and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W200RGEB replace RCP1206W200RGS3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The only difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm) with maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are both packaged as 1206 (3216 Metric) and are interchangeable on PCBs designed for this package type.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for certain markets and applications. RCP1206W200RGEB meets ROHS3 standards, while RCP1206W200RGS3 does not. Selection depends on end-product regulatory requirements, not electrical performance.

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

A: Yes. Both RCP1206W200RGS3 and RCP1206W200RGEB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level and why does it matter?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.
