CT-6ETP204 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CT-6ETP204 is a 200 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This cermet-based component features top adjustment with PC pin termination and is designed for applications requiring precision resistance tuning in compact form factors. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when primary inventory is unavailable or when procurement requirements necessitate qualified alternatives meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CT-6ETP204 are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1
• Adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The identified substitute part 82PR200KLF from TT Electronics/BI meets all electrical specifications and regulatory requirements. Physical form factor differences (square versus round housing) do not affect functional equivalence when PCB layout accommodates the alternative geometry.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CT-6ETP204 and 82PR200KLF are Active status components with identical electrical performance characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• PCB layout constraints and available mounting footprint space
• Packaging requirements (Tape & Box versus Bulk)
• Supplier availability and lead time
• Cost considerations within procurement specifications

Both parts satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for regulated applications. The housing geometry difference (square versus round) requires verification against PCB design constraints prior to substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 82PR200KLF directly replace CT-6ETP204 in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid when the PCB layout accommodates the round housing geometry (0.250" diameter) of the 82PR200KLF versus the square housing (0.276" x 0.276") of the CT-6ETP204. All electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there differences in adjustment characteristics between these parts?

A: Both parts feature identical single-turn top adjustment with cermet resistive material and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Functional adjustment behavior is equivalent.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these substitutes?

A: CT-6ETP204 is supplied in Tape & Box packaging, while 82PR200KLF is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but not component performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both CT-6ETP204 and 82PR200KLF are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What is the primary consideration when selecting between these parts?

A: PCB footprint compatibility is the primary engineering consideration. The housing shape and size difference must be accommodated in the circuit board design.
