RCP1206W200RJS3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCP1206W200RJS3 is a 200 Ohms ±5% 2.4W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Vishay Dale. This thick film, moisture-resistant component operates across -65°C to 155°C and is classified as Active product status. Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and packaging remain compatible within the allowed tolerance and performance parameters for this resistor category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W200RJS3 is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value must be 200 Ohms
• Package / Case must be 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating must be 2.4W or greater
• Composition must be Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient must be ±150ppm/°C or better
• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture Resistant feature must be present
• Tolerance may be equal to or tighter than ±5%

The RCP1206W200RGEB qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical resistance, package, power rating, composition, temperature coefficient, operating range, and moisture resistance. The tolerance is upgraded to ±2%, which is tighter and therefore compatible with applications requiring the RCP1206W200RJS3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RCP1206W200RJS3 and RCP1206W200RGEB are Active status products from Vishay Dale. The RCP1206W200RGEB offers improved tolerance specification (±2% versus ±5%), providing tighter resistance accuracy. The RCP1206W200RGEB achieves RoHS3 compliance, whereas the RCP1206W200RJS3 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements and tolerance specifications demanded by the application circuit design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W200RGEB replace RCP1206W200RJS3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, package dimensions, operating temperature range, and moisture resistance characteristics. The RCP1206W200RGEB provides tighter tolerance (±2% versus ±5%), making it functionally compatible for direct substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) with dimensions of 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 remain unchanged.

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

A: The RCP1206W200RJS3 has ±5% tolerance, while the RCP1206W200RGEB has ±2% tolerance. Tighter tolerance in the substitute part provides improved resistance accuracy without affecting electrical performance in applications designed for the original part.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The RCP1206W200RJS3 is RoHS non-compliant. The RCP1206W200RGEB is RoHS3 compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use the RCP1206W200RGEB.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: No. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
