Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCP2512W680RGTP 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 sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

The substitute part RCP2512W680RGEB meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel) and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional compatibility in applications where the core electrical specifications are the determining factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCP2512W680RGTP and RCP2512W680RGEB are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RCP2512W680RGEB is the preferred choice for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. This part maintains all electrical performance characteristics while meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

RCP2512W680RGTP remains suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement or where existing inventory must be utilized.

Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and are compatible with automated assembly processes. Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions, with RCP2512W680RGEB currently showing higher stock levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCP2512W680RGEB be used as a direct replacement for RCP2512W680RGTP?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same resistance value (680 Ohms), tolerance (±2%), power rating (4.6W), package type (2512), temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 155°C). The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

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

A: RCP2512W680RGEB is ROHS3 compliant, while RCP2512W680RGTP is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is relevant only if your application or supply chain requires adherence to RoHS directives. From a functional standpoint, both parts perform identically.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.250" L x 0.124" W (6.35mm x 3.15mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.025" (0.64mm). They are fully compatible with the same PCB layouts and assembly equipment.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled without special moisture-barrier packaging or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both RCP2512W680RGTP and RCP2512W680RGEB are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
