Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3296P-1-200LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the PV36P200C01B00 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 20 Ohms
• Matching power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Equivalent tolerance: ±10%
• Same number of turns: 25
• Identical adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Same resistive material: Cermet
• Matching mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination style: PC Pins
• Both parts maintain RoHS3 and REACH compliance

Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share compatible mechanical dimensions within standard PCB assembly tolerances (PV36P: 9.60mm x 5.00mm; 3296P: 9.53mm x 4.83mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36P200C01B00 and 3296P-1-200LF are active production components with full regulatory compliance. The 3296P-1-200LF offers improved temperature stability with a ±100ppm/°C coefficient compared to the ±150ppm/°C of the PV36P200C01B00, making it suitable for applications requiring tighter thermal performance. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements for regulated markets. Selection between these components should be based on application-specific thermal stability requirements and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
