Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D201A01B00 is determined by matching the following mandatory parameters: 200 Ohms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All four substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the PVC6D201A01B00 based on electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should prioritize active product status and compliance requirements:

3362R-1-201LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed series) offers ROHS3 compliance and active product status with sealed construction. This part is suitable for applications requiring environmental protection and regulatory compliance.

25PR200LF (TT Electronics/BI, Series 25) provides RoHS compliance and active status with the highest inventory availability (5068 pcs). This part is appropriate for high-volume applications with standard environmental requirements.

82MR200LF and 82PR200LF (TT Electronics/BI, Series 82) both offer ROHS3 compliance and active status with round form factor (0.250" diameter). These parts are suitable for space-constrained applications where the compact round package is advantageous.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6D201A01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical interface (through-hole PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn). Physical dimensions vary, but do not affect electrical function or PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The PVC6D201A01B00 is obsolete with ceramic resistive material. All substitutes are active products with cermet resistive material, offering improved stability and compliance certifications. Cermet construction provides superior performance characteristics while maintaining the specified electrical parameters.

Q: Are there compliance considerations for substitution?

A: The PVC6D201A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts meet RoHS or ROHS3 compliance requirements. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use one of the substitute parts. The 3362R-1-201LF, 82MR200LF, and 82PR200LF are ROHS3 compliant; the 25PR200LF is RoHS compliant.

Q: Do packaging differences affect interchangeability?

A: Packaging (Tube or Bulk) affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical interchangeability. Select packaging based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: The 25PR200LF has the highest inventory level at 5068 pcs, followed by 82PR200LF at 1602 pcs, 3362R-1-201LF at 1151 pcs, and 82MR200LF at 1033 pcs.
