Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP2512B680RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute for RCP2512B680RGEC based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value and tolerance match exactly (680 Ohms ±2%)
• Power rating is identical (4.6W)
• Package dimensions and case type are the same (2512 / 6432 Metric)
• Temperature coefficient specification is identical (±150ppm/°C)
• Operating temperature range is identical (-65°C ~ 155°C)
• Composition and features are identical (Thick Film, Moisture Resistant)
• Compliance certifications are equivalent (ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1)

The difference between RCP2512B680RGEC and RCP2512B680RGEB is limited to internal manufacturing process variants within the RCP series, with no impact on functional or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512B680RGEC and RCP2512B680RGEB are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. The RCP2512B680RGEB currently has higher inventory (2060 units) compared to RCP2512B680RGEC (765 units), making it suitable for high-volume applications where lead time and stock availability are considerations. Both parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications for direct substitution in circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512B680RGEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP2512B680RGEC?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance (680 Ohms), tolerance (±2%), power rating (4.6W), package dimensions (2512), temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C), operating range (-65°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). No circuit redesign or re-qualification is required.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical package specifications: 2512 (6432 Metric) case, 0.250" L x 0.124" W dimensions (6.35mm x 3.15mm), and 0.025" maximum seated height (0.64mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: What is the difference between RCP2512B680RGEC and RCP2512B680RGEB?

A: The difference is limited to manufacturing process variants within the Vishay Dale RCP series. No functional, electrical, or mechanical differences exist between the two part numbers.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RCP2512B680RGEC and RCP2512B680RGEB are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is acceptable for new designs. Selection should be based on current inventory levels and supply chain availability. RCP2512B680RGEB has higher stock availability (2060 units vs. 765 units).
