Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP2512B680RGTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The substitute part RCP2512W680RGEB meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the RCP series and share identical functional characteristics, dimensional specifications, and environmental performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512B680RGTP and RCP2512W680RGEB are Active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: RCP2512B680RGTP is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP2512W680RGEB is ROHS3 compliant.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and procurement requirements. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer specifications requiring RoHS3 compliance, RCP2512W680RGEB is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part provides equivalent functional performance. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W680RGEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP2512B680RGTP?

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

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

A: RCP2512B680RGTP is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP2512W680RGEB is ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements and customer specifications. RoHS3 compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and for many OEM customers with environmental mandates.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 2512 (6432 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm) and maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part number.

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

A: Yes. Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C. This specification defines the maximum change in resistance value per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range of -65°C to 155°C. This parameter is critical for applications requiring stable resistance performance across temperature variations.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or supply format?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RCP2512B680RGTP has 1028 Pcs in stock, while RCP2512W680RGEB has 2060 Pcs in stock at the time of this reference.
