Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP2512B680RGS3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 680 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power rating: 4.6W
• Package: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture resistance feature
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part RCP2512W680RGEB meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Differences in RoHS compliance status do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512B680RGS3 and RCP2512W680RGEB are Active status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

• RCP2512B680RGS3: Select when RoHS non-compliant materials are acceptable or required by design specifications.
• RCP2512W680RGEB: Select when ROHS3 compliance is mandated by end-use application or customer requirements.

Both parts are suitable for identical circuit applications and PCB layouts. Inventory availability and lead time may also influence selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W680RGEB replace RCP2512B680RGS3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package specifications: 2512 (6432 Metric) with dimensions of 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm) and maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB footprints are interchangeable.

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

A: RCP2512W680RGEB is ROHS3 compliant, while RCP2512B680RGS3 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection depends on application requirements and regional regulations. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients the same?

A: Yes. Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C and operate across the identical range of -65°C to 155°C.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly, providing maximum flexibility in manufacturing environments.
