Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP2512B680RGED is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Resistance value and tolerance must match exactly at 680 Ohms ±2%. Power dissipation capability must equal or exceed 4.6W to ensure thermal performance in the application circuit. Package dimensions must conform to 2512 (6432 Metric) specifications to guarantee PCB footprint compatibility. Composition type (Thick Film) and environmental features (Moisture Resistant) must be identical. Temperature coefficient and operating temperature range must match to maintain circuit stability across the specified thermal envelope. Compliance certifications including RoHS3 and MSL Level 1 must be maintained.

The RCP2512W680RGEB meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RCP2512W680RGEB is a direct equivalent to the RCP2512B680RGED.
