Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 82PR200LF from TT Electronics / BI Technologies qualifies as a substitute for the CT-6EW201 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical tolerance: ±10%
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical number of turns: 1
• Identical adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Identical resistive material: Cermet
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination style: PC Pins
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical HTSUS classification: 8533.40.8050

Both parts maintain functional equivalence across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the physical form factor: the CT-6EW201 features a square body (7.00mm x 7.00mm), while the 82PR200LF has a round body (6.35mm diameter).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CT-6EW201 and 82PR200LF are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on physical form factor requirements and PCB layout constraints. The square body of the CT-6EW201 may be preferred for applications requiring specific mounting footprints, while the round body of the 82PR200LF offers alternative spatial configurations. Both parts carry identical electrical performance specifications and regulatory compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 82PR200LF directly replace the CT-6EW201 in my circuit?

A: Yes, the 82PR200LF is electrically equivalent to the CT-6EW201. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics. The primary consideration is physical form factor: the CT-6EW201 has a square body while the 82PR200LF has a round body. Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the round body dimensions (6.35mm diameter) before substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the CT-6EW201 and 82PR200LF are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical HTSUS and ECCN classifications. Both parts meet the same regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the body shape difference?

A: The body shape difference (square versus round) affects only the physical mounting footprint and spatial requirements on the PCB. Electrical performance and functional characteristics remain identical. Ensure your circuit board design can accommodate the substitute part's dimensions.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts are listed as active products in current production. Inventory availability should be verified with your component supplier, as stock levels may vary.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: The CT-6EW201 carries a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements. The 82PR200LF lists MSL as Not Applicable. Both parts can be stored under standard industrial conditions.
