Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36Z201C01B00 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 25
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 and REACH

The 3296Z-1-201LF meets all electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc., share identical electrical specifications, employ cermet resistive elements, and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36Z201C01B00 and 3296Z-1-201LF are Active products with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these components should be based on availability and lead time requirements. The 3296Z-1-201LF (Trimpot® 3296 - Sealed series) offers higher inventory availability at 2300 units compared to 1065 units for the PV36Z201C01B00. Dimensional variance between the two parts is minimal (0.001" to 0.007" difference across face dimensions), presenting negligible impact on PCB layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296Z-1-201LF directly replace the PV36Z201C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 25-turn side adjustment), resistive material composition (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Dimensional differences are within typical PCB layout tolerances.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.40.8050) classifications.

Q: What is the significance of the "Sealed" designation in the 3296Z-1-201LF series name?

A: The Trimpot® 3296 - Sealed series designation indicates environmental sealing characteristics of the component design. This does not affect electrical substitution compatibility with the PV36Z201C01B00 for applications where both parts meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Q: Are dimensional differences between the two parts critical for PCB design?

A: The face dimension variance (0.001" to 0.007" across width and height) is negligible for standard through-hole PCB layouts. Both components use identical PC pin termination spacing and mounting footprints, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing circuit board designs.
