Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D200C01B00 is determined by the following critical 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 Turn
• Adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The 3362R-1-200LF meets all substitution criteria. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic), both materials satisfy the electrical performance requirements within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. The dimensional variation (0.275" x 0.260" vs. 0.272" x 0.272") remains within acceptable mechanical compatibility for through-hole PC pin mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362R-1-200LF is the qualified substitute for the PVC6D200C01B00. Selection is based on:

• Electrical parameter equivalence across all critical specifications (resistance, power, tolerance, temperature coefficient, turn count)
• Identical adjustment type and mounting configuration
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance maintained for regulatory requirements
• Same manufacturer (Bourns Inc.) ensuring design consistency and quality standards

The material difference (Cermet vs. Ceramic) does not impact substitution validity, as both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-200LF be used as a direct replacement for the PVC6D200C01B00?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-200LF meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, turn count, adjustment type, mounting method, and termination style.

Q: What is the difference between Ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance within the specified ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The material difference does not affect functional compatibility or circuit performance.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: The 3362R-1-200LF has a rectangular face (0.275" x 0.260") compared to the square face (0.272" x 0.272") of the PVC6D200C01B00. Both dimensions are compatible with standard through-hole PC pin mounting footprints. Verify PCB layout clearances for your specific application.

Q: Why is the PVC6D200C01B00 obsolete?

A: The PVC6D200C01B00 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 3362R-1-200LF from the active Trimpot® 3362 series is the current production equivalent.

Q: Are RoHS and REACH compliance maintained with the substitute?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-200LF is ROHS3 compliant. REACH status differs (REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected), requiring verification against your specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 3362R-1-200LF is supplied in Tube packaging, compared to the standard packaging of the original part.
