Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 82PR200LF qualifies as a substitute for the CT-6ETP201 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Matching power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Equivalent tolerance: ±10%
• Same temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical number of turns: 1
• Same adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Matching resistive material: Cermet
• Same mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination style: PC Pins
• Equivalent compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Both components share the same HTSUS classification (8533.40.8050) and ECCN designation (EAR99), confirming functional and regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CT-6ETP201 and 82PR200LF are Active status components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (CT-6ETP201 supplied in Tape & Box; 82PR200LF supplied in Bulk)
• Physical form factor tolerance (CT-6ETP201: Square 7.00mm x 7.00mm; 82PR200LF: Round 6.35mm diameter)
• Supplier inventory and procurement channels

Both components meet identical electrical and regulatory requirements for direct substitution in through-hole applications requiring 200 Ohm, 0.5W trimmer potentiometer functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 82PR200LF directly replace the CT-6ETP201 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, top adjustment, cermet material, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination) and equivalent compliance certifications. Physical form factor differences (square vs. round body) must be evaluated for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The main differences are packaging format and physical dimensions. The CT-6ETP201 features a square body (7.00mm x 7.00mm) supplied in Tape & Box packaging. The 82PR200LF features a round body (6.35mm diameter) supplied in Bulk packaging. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both components are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection for high-reliability applications should include evaluation of supplier certifications, quality documentation, and specific application environmental requirements beyond the parameters listed.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Box vs. Bulk) does not affect electrical performance or functional characteristics. It impacts handling, storage, and procurement logistics only.
