Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36Y200C01B00 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 25 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Top 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 and REACH (minimum requirement)

The substitute part 3296Y-1-200LF meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Minor dimensional variations within manufacturing tolerances do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3296Y-1-200LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the PV36Y200C01B00 based on electrical equivalence and regulatory compliance. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc., maintain Active product status, and carry identical ROHS3 and REACH certifications. The substitute part belongs to the Trimpot® 3296 sealed series, offering enhanced environmental protection characteristics.

The temperature coefficient differential (±100ppm/°C versus ±150ppm/°C) represents improved thermal stability in the substitute part, which does not compromise compatibility but may provide performance benefits in temperature-sensitive applications. Dimensional variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect PCB layout or mechanical fit for standard through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296Y-1-200LF replace the PV36Y200C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (20 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, 25 turns, cermet material, PC pin termination, top adjustment). Dimensional differences (9.60mm x 5.00mm versus 9.53mm x 4.83mm) fall within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect through-hole PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The substitute part exhibits a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) compared to the original (±150ppm/°C). This indicates improved stability across temperature variations and does not create compatibility issues. Applications requiring tighter temperature performance may benefit from this characteristic.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the PV36Y200C01B00 and 3296Y-1-200LF carry identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory status for procurement and deployment.

Q: What distinguishes the 3296Y series from the PV36 series?

A: The 3296Y-1-200LF belongs to the Trimpot® 3296 sealed series, which provides enhanced environmental sealing compared to the standard PV36 series. Both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 20 Ohm configuration.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in tube packaging. Inventory availability differs (1050 pcs for PV36Y200C01B00 versus 3927 pcs for 3296Y-1-200LF), but packaging format and handling requirements remain equivalent.
