Packaging & ESD

Industry-standard static shielding packaging is used for electronic components.Anti-static, light-transparent materials allow easy identification of ICs and PCB assemblies.
The packaging structure provides electrostatic protection based on Faraday cage principles.This helps protect sensitive components from static discharge during handling and transportation.


All products are packed in ESD-safe anti-static packaging. Outer packaging labels include part number, brand, and quantity for clear identification. Goods are inspected prior to shipment to ensure proper condition and authenticity.

ESD protection is maintained throughout packing, handling, and global transportation. Secure packaging provides reliable sealing and resistance during transit. Additional cushioning materials are applied when required to protect sensitive components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use RGC1206DTC20R5 as a current-limit or damping resistor in a power or signal path, or is the 0.25W rating too tight?
RGC1206DTC20R5 can fit current-limit, damping, snubber-divider, and termination-style roles when the steady-state dissipation stays within 0.25W and the PCB can remove heat effectively. For design-in, calculate both normal and fault-case power using the actual voltage across the resistor, then derate further if the part sits near other heat sources or in a sealed enclosure. Because RGC1206DTC20R5 is a 1206 thick-film resistor, short pulse loads are often more forgiving than continuous overloads, but the final margin still depends on the waveform, duty cycle, and board thermal design.
Is RGC1206DTC20R5 suitable for precision voltage-divider or feedback networks, and what should I watch for if I need stable ratio accuracy?
RGC1206DTC20R5 is a good fit when the divider or feedback node needs a 20.5 ohm value with tight initial tolerance and moderate temperature drift. Its ±0.5% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C TCR help keep ratio error controlled, but the surrounding resistors, input bias currents, and self-heating can still dominate the final accuracy. In practice, RGC1206DTC20R5 works best when the divider current is high enough to reduce leakage and noise sensitivity, yet low enough to keep power dissipation comfortably below the 0.25W limit.
Can RGC1206DTC20R5 be placed near hot components in an industrial design, and how much temperature headroom does it really have?
RGC1206DTC20R5 is rated for operation from -55°C to 155°C, so it can be used in demanding industrial environments if the PCB and nearby components are designed for the same temperature class. The practical constraint is usually self-heating and board hotspot exposure, not just ambient temperature. If RGC1206DTC20R5 is mounted close to power semiconductors, transformers, or regulators, verify the resistor body temperature under worst-case load and confirm that the chosen land pattern and copper area keep the part within its electrical derating envelope.
What should I consider when replacing another 20 ohm to 22 ohm 1206 resistor with RGC1206DTC20R5?
RGC1206DTC20R5 can be a direct candidate when the circuit can tolerate 20.5 ohms instead of a nominal 20 ohms or 22 ohms, but the value shift may affect current, timing, gain, or setpoints more than expected in sensitive designs. Check whether the original part relied on a specific tolerance class, TCR, or power derating behavior, because RGC1206DTC20R5 is a thick-film 1206 device with its own tolerance and temperature profile. For migration work, recalculate the circuit worst case rather than assuming a "close enough" ohmic match will preserve performance.
If I am sourcing a second source for RGC1206DTC20R5, what differences matter most between Stackpole and other 1206 thick-film resistors?
When cross-replacing RGC1206DTC20R5 with another vendor's 1206 thick-film resistor, the main checks are resistance value, tolerance, TCR, power rating, and package dimensions, not just the catalog ohms. Some equivalent-looking parts differ in end-cap geometry, solderability, pulse handling, or long-term drift, which can change behavior in high-reliability assemblies. For RGC1206DTC20R5, make sure the alternate part matches the 1206 footprint, can handle 0.25W in your thermal environment, and has a comparable drift specification if the circuit is calibration-sensitive.
Is RGC1206DTC20R5 a good choice for automated SMT assembly and high-volume production?
RGC1206DTC20R5 is well suited to standard SMT assembly because it is supplied in tape-and-reel format and uses a common 1206 land pattern. Its MSL 1 rating simplifies factory handling since it does not require special moisture-bake controls before reflow under normal storage conditions. For high-volume builds, RGC1206DTC20R5 is usually chosen when the line already supports 1206 passives and the process can maintain consistent paste volume and placement accuracy.
How reliable is RGC1206DTC20R5 for long-life or industrial equipment, and what failure risks should I design around?
RGC1206DTC20R5 is a thick-film chip resistor that is generally appropriate for long-life equipment when the design avoids continuous operation near its maximum power and temperature limits. The usual wear-out drivers are thermal cycling, surge stress, and sustained overload rather than the storage condition itself. In industrial systems, RGC1206DTC20R5 performs best when the design keeps junction-to-board heating low, avoids excessive pulse energy, and uses conservative derating if the resistor sits in a high-vibration or high-temperature zone.
Can RGC1206DTC20R5 be used in low-noise or high-impedance analog circuits, or should I choose a different resistor technology?
RGC1206DTC20R5 can be used in many analog circuits, but thick-film resistors are not always the first choice for the lowest noise or the tightest long-term drift targets. If your circuit is sensitive to excess noise, offset shift, or very small signal errors, compare RGC1206DTC20R5 against thin-film alternatives with similar value and footprint. For many general-purpose analog nodes, though, RGC1206DTC20R5 is practical when the design benefits from a compact 1206 package, a stable 20.5 ohm value, and moderate precision rather than ultra-high metrology performance.
