Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP1206W200RJS6 is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Power rating: 2.4W
• Composition: Thick Film
• Terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.122" L x 0.060" W (3.10mm x 1.52mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.025" (0.64mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal or tighter (±5% or better)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±150ppm/°C or better
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or equal -65°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: May differ based on application requirements
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Must be MSL 1 or equivalent

The RCP1206W200RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RCP1206W200RGEB serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the RCP1206W200RJS6. Both components are Active status products from Vishay Dale with identical package dimensions, power ratings, and thermal specifications.

The primary distinction is tolerance specification: the substitute part offers ±2% tolerance compared to the main part's ±5% tolerance. This represents improved accuracy and is compatible with applications requiring the original ±5% specification.

RoHS compliance status differs between the two parts. The RCP1206W200RJS6 is RoHS non-compliant, while the RCP1206W200RGEB is ROHS3 compliant. Component selection should align with applicable regulatory and procurement requirements for the end application.

Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) and operating temperature ranges, ensuring equivalent performance in environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP1206W200RGEB replace RCP1206W200RJS6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance values, power ratings, package dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The substitute part's tighter tolerance (±2% versus ±5%) is compatible with applications designed for the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable deviation from the nominal 200 Ohm resistance value. The RCP1206W200RGEB's ±2% tolerance provides a narrower resistance range (196–204 Ohms) compared to the RCP1206W200RJS6's ±5% range (190–210 Ohms). Applications requiring tighter resistance control benefit from the substitute part's improved accuracy.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

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). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for 1206 package components.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant parts depends on regulatory requirements and procurement specifications for the end application.

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

A: Yes. Both the RCP1206W200RJS6 and RCP1206W200RGEB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
