Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RCP2512W100RGEB qualifies as a direct substitute for RCP2512W100RGS3 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following criteria are met:

• Resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±2%
• Power rating: 4.6W
• Package designation: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.025" (0.64mm)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture resistance: Present
• Termination count: 2

Both parts maintain identical specifications across all functional and dimensional parameters, confirming direct interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512W100RGS3 and RCP2512W100RGEB are Active status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: RCP2512W100RGS3 is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP2512W100RGEB is ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, RCP2512W100RGEB is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W100RGEB replace RCP2512W100RGS3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (100 Ohms ±2%, 4.6W), mechanical dimensions (2512 package, 6.35mm x 3.15mm), and operating characteristics (-65°C ~ 155°C). Direct substitution is valid from a functional and dimensional standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance certification. RCP2512W100RGS3 is RoHS non-compliant, while RCP2512W100RGEB is ROHS3 compliant. All other specifications remain identical.

Q: Are the physical packages identical?

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

Q: Do these parts have the same temperature performance?

A: Yes. Both components operate across -65°C to 155°C with identical temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C, ensuring equivalent thermal stability and performance across the operating range.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, specify RCP2512W100RGEB. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.
