Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP2512W680RGS2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 680 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)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

The substitute part RCP2512W680RGEB meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Differences exist only in RoHS compliance status and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512W680RGS2 and RCP2512W680RGEB are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

• RCP2512W680RGEB is the preferred choice for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and offers higher current inventory availability (2060 Pcs vs. 1040 Pcs).
• RCP2512W680RGS2 remains suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Both parts are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and physical form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W680RGEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP2512W680RGS2?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. RCP2512W680RGEB is ROHS3 compliant, while RCP2512W680RGS2 is not. No circuit modifications or re-qualification are required for substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

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

A: RCP2512W680RGEB meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, restricting hazardous substances. RCP2512W680RGS2 does not carry this certification. Selection depends on end-product regulatory requirements and regional market standards.

Q: Do these parts have identical thermal and electrical performance?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -65°C to 155°C with ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 680 Ohms ±2% resistance, and 4.6W power rating. Thermal and electrical behavior is identical.

Q: Is there a preferred part number for new designs?

A: RCP2512W680RGEB is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability. Both parts remain active products suitable for production use.
