PVC6A202C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6A202C01B00 is a 2 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, PC pin termination, and top adjustment with 1 turn operation. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring 2 kOhms 0.5W trimmer potentiometer functionality with identical electrical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6A202C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (2 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and product series do not affect functional equivalence within the specified parameter set. Substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and series while maintaining full parameter compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain electrical equivalence to the PVC6A202C01B00 across resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment specifications. Selection among substitutes should prioritize active product status for long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The 3362P-1-202LF and 3329H-1-202LF from Bourns Inc. offer direct manufacturer continuity with active status and ROHS3 compliance. The 25PR2KLF from TT Electronics/BI provides an alternative with comparable dimensions to the original part. The 72PMR2KLF and 72PR2KLF options feature larger physical dimensions (0.375" x 0.375") and should be selected only when PCB layout accommodates increased footprint. All substitutes maintain PC pin termination and through-hole mounting compatibility. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, RoHS, REACH status) are provided for regulatory verification during component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6A202C01B00 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes? A: Yes. All listed parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimension variations require PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the original PVC6A202C01B00 and the substitute options? A: The main difference is resistive material composition. The PVC6A202C01B00 uses ceramic material, while most substitutes employ cermet material. Both materials deliver identical electrical performance within the specified parameters. Cermet-based substitutes (3362P-1-202LF, 3329H-1-202LF, 25PR2KLF, 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF) offer active product status and improved long-term availability.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute? A: Yes. The original PVC6A202C01B00 is supplied in standard packaging. The 3362P-1-202LF and 3329H-1-202LF are packaged in tubes. The 25PR2KLF is tube-packaged. The 72PMR2KLF and 72PR2KLF are supplied in bulk. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same compliance standards as the original part? A: All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant or RoHS compliant. The original PVC6A202C01B00 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitute parts from Bourns Inc. (3362P-1-202LF, 3329H-1-202LF) are ROHS3 compliant with REACH affected status. TT Electronics/BI parts (25PR2KLF, 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF) are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: Which substitute offers the closest physical footprint match to the original PVC6A202C01B00? A: The 25PR2KLF (0.270" x 0.270" square) provides the closest dimensional match to the original PVC6A202C01B00 (0.272" x 0.272" square). The 3362P-1-202LF (0.275" x 0.260" rectangular) and 3329H-1-202LF (0.250" round) offer alternative form factors. The 72PMR2KLF and 72PR2KLF feature larger 0.375" x 0.375" dimensions and require PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the inventory status of available substitutes? A: The 3362P-1-202LF maintains the highest inventory (30,400 pcs). The 72PR2KLF has 1,401 pcs available. The 25PR2KLF has 5,508 pcs available. The 72PMR2KLF has 933 pcs available. The 3329H-1-202LF has 1,112 pcs available. Inventory levels support production requirements across all substitute options.
