PV36Y201C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PV36Y201C01B00 is a 200 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PV36 series. This cermet-based, 25-turn top-adjustment component is designed for PC pin termination in rectangular form factor applications. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility requirements must be met due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36Y201C01B00 is determined by strict alignment of the following 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: 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)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

Variations in number of turns (25 vs. 20), physical dimensions, packaging format, and manufacturer identity are permitted within the substitute classification when all electrical and core mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—PV36Y201C01B00, 3296Y-1-201LF, and 67YR200LF—meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection between them is based on the following factors:

PV36Y201C01B00 (Primary): Bourns PV36 series, 25-turn configuration, tube packaging, rectangular form factor 9.60mm x 5.00mm. ROHS3 and REACH compliant.

3296Y-1-201LF (Equivalent): Bourns Trimpot® 3296 sealed series, 25-turn configuration, tube packaging, rectangular form factor 9.53mm x 4.83mm. ROHS3 and REACH compliant. Sealed design provides enhanced environmental protection.

67YR200LF (Equivalent): TT Electronics/BI 67 series, 20-turn configuration, bulk packaging, rectangular form factor 9.53mm x 4.95mm. ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected. Reduced turn count may affect adjustment resolution in applications requiring fine-tuning precision.

All parts maintain Active product status and are suitable for new designs. Physical dimension variations are minor and typically accommodate standard PCB footprints. Packaging format differences (tube vs. bulk) reflect inventory and supply chain considerations rather than functional capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 67YR200LF replace PV36Y201C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The 67YR200LF maintains identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient. The 20-turn configuration versus 25-turn affects adjustment granularity; applications requiring precise fine-tuning may experience reduced resolution. Physical dimensions are within 0.1mm variance across all axes.

Q: What is the difference between tube and bulk packaging?

A: Tube packaging (PV36Y201C01B00, 3296Y-1-201LF) provides individual component protection and is standard for component-level procurement. Bulk packaging (67YR200LF) is used for high-volume manufacturing operations. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. PV36Y201C01B00, 3296Y-1-201LF, and 67YR200LF are all ROHS3 compliant. REACH status differs: PV36Y201C01B00 and 3296Y-1-201LF are REACH affected; 67YR200LF is REACH unaffected. Compliance requirements should be verified against your specific application and regional regulations.

Q: What does the sealed design of 3296Y-1-201LF provide?

A: The Trimpot® 3296 sealed series offers enhanced protection against environmental contamination, moisture ingress, and mechanical stress. This design feature does not alter electrical performance but may extend operational life in harsh environments.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Physical dimensions vary slightly (9.60mm vs. 9.53mm width; 5.00mm vs. 4.83mm vs. 4.95mm height). Standard PCB footprints accommodate these minor variations. Verify footprint compatibility with your specific board design before implementation.

Q: How does the 20-turn configuration of 67YR200LF affect circuit performance?

A: Adjustment resolution is reduced proportionally. With 20 turns versus 25 turns, each full rotation covers 5% more resistance range. Applications requiring precise calibration or fine-tuning may require additional adjustment cycles. Electrical performance and stability remain equivalent.
