Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36X201C01B00 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Resistive material: Cermet (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The 67XR200LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Minor variations in turn count (20 vs. 25 turns) and face dimensions (9.53mm x 4.95mm vs. 10.00mm x 5.00mm) remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole PCB mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36X201C01B00 and 67XR200LF maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• PCB layout constraints: The 67XR200LF features slightly reduced face dimensions (9.53mm x 4.95mm vs. 10.00mm x 5.00mm), which may provide marginal space advantages in compact designs.
• Adjustment resolution: The PV36X201C01B00 provides 25-turn adjustment versus 20-turn adjustment on the 67XR200LF. Applications requiring finer tuning resolution favor the PV36X201C01B00.
• Supply chain availability: The 67XR200LF currently maintains higher inventory levels (2311 pcs vs. 887 pcs).
• Packaging format: The PV36X201C01B00 is supplied in Tube packaging; the 67XR200LF is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 67XR200LF directly replace the PV36X201C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole, PC pins, side adjustment, cermet resistive element). The minor difference in turn count (20 vs. 25) does not prevent functional substitution in applications where adjustment resolution is not a critical design parameter.

Q: What is the significance of the turn count difference?

A: Turn count affects adjustment resolution. The PV36X201C01B00 (25 turns) provides finer incremental adjustment steps compared to the 67XR200LF (20 turns). For applications requiring precise tuning, the higher turn count is preferable. For general-purpose trimming applications, both are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for substitution?

A: Yes. The PV36X201C01B00 is supplied in Tube packaging, while the 67XR200LF is supplied in Bulk packaging. Tube packaging provides individual component protection and is preferred for manual assembly or low-volume production. Bulk packaging is typical for automated assembly processes. Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly workflow.

Q: Do the face dimension differences affect PCB mounting?

A: The face dimensions differ slightly (10.00mm x 5.00mm vs. 9.53mm x 4.95mm), but both components are designed for standard through-hole PCB mounting. The dimensional difference is within typical PCB layout tolerances and does not prevent mechanical substitution. Verify PCB footprint clearances if space is constrained.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the PV36X201C01B00 and 67XR200LF are ROHS3 compliant and maintain Active product status, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment.
