Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512B100RGS6 and RCP2512W100RGEB are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 100 Ohms ±2% 4.6W thick film resistors in 2512 package format. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements. RCP2512W100RGEB carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while RCP2512B100RGS6 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or environmental regulations, RCP2512W100RGEB is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W100RGEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP2512B100RGS6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute for RCP2512B100RGS6?

A: Valid substitutes must match all critical parameters: 100 Ohms resistance, ±2% tolerance, 4.6W power rating, 2512 package, thick film composition, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 155°C operating range, and moisture-resistant features.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical dimensions (0.250" L x 0.124" W / 6.35mm x 3.15mm) and maximum seated height (0.025" / 0.64mm), ensuring PCB layout and assembly compatibility.

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

A: RCP2512W100RGEB meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, making it suitable for applications in regulated markets. RCP2512B100RGS6 is non-compliant and should be used only where RoHS restrictions do not apply.

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

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