PVC6D200A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D200A01B00 is a 20 Ohm, 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 a single turn. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing applications and new designs requiring this electrical specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the PVC6D200A01B00 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% or better
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or better
• Number of turns: 1.0 (single turn)
• Adjustment type: Top adjustment
• Mounting: Through hole
• Termination: PC pins

The substitute parts listed below meet all these criteria. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and packaging do not affect electrical substitutability for this application category. All substitutes maintain the same functional performance within the specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362R-1-200LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed series) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and is ROHS3 compliant with active product status. The rectangular form factor (0.275" x 0.260") provides a compact alternative to the original square design while preserving all functional parameters.

3329H-1-200LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3329 - Sealed series) is an alternative substitute with identical electrical performance. The round form factor (0.250" diameter) offers a different mechanical footprint. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively manufactured.

FT-63ETP200 (Nidec Components Corporation, FT-63 series) is a cross-manufacturer substitute meeting all electrical requirements. The temperature coefficient specification is ±150ppm/°C, which is within acceptable tolerance for this application. This part is ROHS3 compliant and actively produced. Packaging is provided in Tape & Box format.

All three substitutes are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability compared to the obsolete PVC6D200A01B00. Selection should be based on mechanical fit requirements, packaging preferences, and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-200LF replace the PVC6D200A01B00 directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 20 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, single turn, top adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The primary difference is the resistive material (cermet vs. ceramic) and physical dimensions, neither of which affects electrical substitutability.

Q: What is the difference between the 3362R-1-200LF and 3329H-1-200LF?

A: Both are Bourns substitutes with identical electrical performance. The 3362R-1-200LF has a rectangular form factor (0.275" x 0.260"), while the 3329H-1-200LF has a round form factor (0.250" diameter). Selection depends on available PCB space and mechanical mounting requirements.

Q: How does the FT-63ETP200 differ from the Bourns alternatives?

A: The FT-63ETP200 is manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation and has a slightly higher temperature coefficient (±150ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C). All other electrical parameters are identical. This part is suitable for applications where the broader temperature coefficient is acceptable.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-200LF, 3329H-1-200LF, and FT-63ETP200 are all ROHS3 compliant. The original PVC6D200A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant, making these substitutes necessary for new designs requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 3362R-1-200LF and 3329H-1-200LF are supplied in Tube packaging. The FT-63ETP200 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format. Packaging selection should align with assembly and inventory management requirements.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Electrical substitution is direct. However, physical dimensions vary slightly between parts. The 3362R-1-200LF and 3329H-1-200LF have different form factors than the original square design. Verify mechanical fit and mounting hole compatibility before implementation.
