Equivalent & Substitute Parts for CT6X202

Part Overview

CT6X202 is a trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This component features a resistance value of 2 kOhms, power rating of 0.5W (1/2W), cermet resistive material, side adjustment, 1 turn, and PC pin through-hole mounting. The product is RoHS non-compliant and has been designated obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, direct substitution is necessary to maintain supply continuity for legacy designs or ongoing manufacturing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for CT6X202 have been selected strictly based on matching the following electrical and mechanical parameters: resistance (2 kOhms), power rating (0.5W, 1/2W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1 or 1.0), adjustment type (side), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Differences in manufacturer series and component size are documented within the parameter comparison.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CT-6EX202 from Nidec Components Corporation is an active part with matching electrical and mechanical parameters, RoHS3 compliance, and equivalent dimensions and construction to CT6X202. 3362W-1-202 from Bourns Inc. is an active product with matching electrical characteristics and similar mechanical attributes, but has a smaller housing size and is RoHS non-compliant. Product selection may depend on required compliance status and dimensional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters for selecting a substitute for CT6X202?
A: Key parameters include resistance (2 kOhms), power rating (0.5W, 1/2W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (side), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins).

Q: Can CT-6EX202 be directly substituted for CT6X202?
A: CT-6EX202 matches all key electrical and mechanical parameters, including size and mounting method.

Q: How does 3362W-1-202 compare as a substitute?
A: 3362W-1-202 provides the same core electrical characteristics and mounting style, but has a smaller size and is not RoHS compliant.

Q: Are there differences in performance between RoHS and non-RoHS compliant versions?
A: RoHS compliance indicates conformity to hazardous substances regulations; performance parameters provided do not specify functional differences.

Q: Is dimensional compatibility important when selecting these substitutes?
A: Size and mounting style directly affect fit and PCB layout; verify dimensions with system requirements as provided.

Q: What product status considerations are relevant?
