PVC6D202A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D202A01B00 is a 2 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance status through active product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical 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 listed 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 equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The primary substitute for PVC6D202A01B00 is 3362R-1-202LF, manufactured by Bourns Inc. This part maintains the same manufacturer lineage, carries active product status, and achieves ROHS3 compliance. The 3362R series represents the current generation replacement within the Bourns product portfolio.

For applications requiring alternative manufacturers, 25PR2KLF, 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF, and 82PR2KLF from TT Electronics/BI are functionally equivalent. All substitute parts are active products with current RoHS compliance certifications. Selection among these alternatives should account for packaging format (tube versus bulk), physical dimensions, and inventory availability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PVC6D202A01B00 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts match the required electrical parameters: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, top adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these parts?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the substitute parts and offers improved stability and reliability characteristics compared to ceramic material in the original part.

Q: Does the physical dimension difference affect compatibility?

A: Physical dimensions vary among substitutes (ranging from 0.250" to 0.375" face sizes). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for each application. Electrical function remains equivalent regardless of package size.

Q: Why is the original PVC6D202A01B00 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. The 3362R-1-202LF and other active substitutes provide continued access to equivalent functionality with improved compliance and availability.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. 3362R-1-202LF and 25PR2KLF are supplied in tube packaging, while 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF, and 82PR2KLF are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.
