CT-6EV201 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CT-6EV201 is a 200 Ohm, 0.5W trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This through-hole component features PC pin termination, cermet resistive material, and top adjustment capability with a single turn range. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring precision resistance adjustment in compact form factors. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and functional characteristics are maintained across different manufacturers while accommodating standard mechanical variations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The CT-6EV201 and its identified substitute maintain electrical equivalence through matching core parameters: 200 Ohm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, single-turn adjustment, top adjustment configuration, cermet construction, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitution is valid when these electrical and functional specifications are preserved. Mechanical form factor differences (square versus round body geometry) do not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality in applications where the trimmer potentiometer operates within specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both CT-6EV201 and 82PR200LF are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Selection between these parts is based on circuit board layout requirements and available mounting space. The CT-6EV201 features a square body geometry (7.00mm x 7.00mm), while the 82PR200LF provides a round body (6.35mm diameter). All electrical parameters, functional characteristics, and regulatory compliance are equivalent. Component selection should prioritize PCB footprint compatibility and available inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 82PR200LF replace the CT-6EV201 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 200 Ohm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, single-turn top adjustment, cermet construction, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The primary difference is body geometry (square versus round), which does not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the impact of different body shapes on circuit board design?

A: Body shape differences affect PCB footprint layout and available mounting space. The CT-6EV201 square body (7.00mm x 7.00mm) and 82PR200LF round body (6.35mm diameter) require different land patterns. Verify PCB layout compatibility before component substitution.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both CT-6EV201 and 82PR200LF are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution validity?

A: Resistance value (200 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins) must all be maintained for electrical equivalence.

Q: Does inventory availability affect component selection?

A: Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions. CT-6EV201 has 693 pieces in stock, while 82PR200LF has 1602 pieces available. Both are Active status components with consistent supply.
