Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP2512B10R0GS2 and RCP2512W10R0GEB are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents within the Vishay Dale RCP series. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 10 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±2%
• Identical power rating: 4.6W
• Identical package: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm)
• Identical height: 0.025" (0.64mm) maximum seated
• Identical composition and features: Thick Film, Moisture Resistant
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Identical number of terminations: 2

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Cut Tape (CT).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512B10R0GS2 and RCP2512W10R0GEB are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring 10 Ohm 4.6W resistors in 2512 package format. Selection between these parts is determined by:

Packaging requirements: RCP2512B10R0GS2 is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly processes. RCP2512W10R0GEB is supplied in Cut Tape format suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Regulatory compliance: RCP2512W10R0GEB carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while RCP2512B10R0GS2 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must specify RCP2512W10R0GEB.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical compatibility with 2512 footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W10R0GEB replace RCP2512B10R0GS2 in production assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The substitution is valid for any application requiring a 10 Ohm ±2% 4.6W 2512 resistor. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affects handling and assembly method but not circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume production runs.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. RCP2512W10R0GEB is ROHS3 compliant. RCP2512B10R0GS2 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS certification must use RCP2512W10R0GEB.

Q: Do these parts have identical thermal performance?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 155°C), ensuring equivalent thermal behavior in circuit applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical physical dimensions (0.250" L x 0.124" W, 6.35mm x 3.15mm) and height (0.025" maximum seated), ensuring direct footprint compatibility.
