Description

The RMG 2012 and RCG 2012 are small type II film resistors with end caps („căpăcele”) and axial leads, made to STAS 7668-78 for general use: RMG 2012 (nickel film) from 100 to 330 Ω and RCG 2012 (carbon film) from 100 Ω to 1 MΩ, with a limit voltage of 125 V [1][3].

The Agenda radioelectronistului names IPEE Electro-Argeș of Curtea de Argeș as the producer of all the resistors in its section on resistors made in Romania, in both editions [3][4]. Un secol de electronică în România says that the works, founded in 1972 as ICEP, took over the resistor lines that IPRS Băneasa made under a Thomson-CSF licence: the carbon resistors in 1973 and the wire-wound resistors in 1974 [5].

RCG construction type: general-use resistor with a carbon film
2 package type („tipul capsulei”, 1…6)
012 rated power: 0.125 W

Romanian resistors are generally marked in clear, with the series code, the nominal value (100 = 100 Ω, 1 K = 1 kΩ, 1 M = 1 MΩ), the tolerance [3]. The 1st edition (1983) gives the same data [2].

Dimensions in mm (fig. 16.3): body at most 7 long and Ø 2.2, leads Ø 0.6, at least 30 mm long [1].
