Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RVC2512FT100R are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Power rating may be equal or greater than 1W
• Temperature coefficient may be equal or lower (tighter specification)
• Additional features such as moisture resistance or automotive qualification do not disqualify substitution

The identified substitutes meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical specifications of the primary part while maintaining package compatibility and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RHC2512FT100R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This upgrade substitute provides doubled power rating (2W vs 1W) with improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs ±200ppm/°C) and moisture-resistant construction. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring design continuity. This option is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or extended operational margins.

3521100RFT (TE Connectivity Passive Product): This direct substitute offers 2W power rating with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The part maintains identical electrical specifications and package compatibility. This option is appropriate for automotive applications or systems requiring AEC-Q200 certified components.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, and active production status. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for power dissipation, temperature stability, and industry certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RHC2512FT100R replace RVC2512FT100R in all applications?

A: Yes. The RHC2512FT100R meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RVC2512FT100R while providing enhanced power rating and improved temperature coefficient. The 2512 package dimensions are compatible with existing PCB layouts. Verify that the maximum height of 0.028" (0.70mm) does not conflict with board-level clearance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between RHC2512FT100R and 3521100RFT?

A: Both parts provide 2W power rating and ±1% tolerance at 100 Ohms. The primary difference is manufacturer and automotive qualification. RHC2512FT100R is manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc with moisture-resistant features. 3521100RFT is manufactured by TE Connectivity and carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Select based on supply chain preference and automotive requirement compliance.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: All three parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: RVC2512FT100R measures 0.250" L x 0.126" W with 0.026" maximum height, while RHC2512FT100R and 3521100RFT measure 0.248" L x 0.126" W. RHC2512FT100R has 0.028" maximum height. These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not require layout modifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C ~ 155°C. The RHC2512FT100R and 3521100RFT provide superior temperature stability with ±100ppm/°C coefficient compared to RVC2512FT100R at ±200ppm/°C. For applications near temperature extremes, the substitute parts with tighter temperature coefficients are preferred.

Q: What is the significance of moisture resistance in RHC2512FT100R?

A: RHC2512FT100R includes moisture-resistant construction as an additional feature. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The moisture-resistant feature in RHC2512FT100R provides additional protection in high-humidity or harsh environmental conditions.
