Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362R-1-253LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the PVC6D253C01B00 based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 25 kOhms
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical tolerance: ±10%
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical number of turns: 1.0
• Identical adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination style: PC Pins
• Identical RoHS3 compliance

The primary difference is the resistive material composition (ceramic versus cermet) and physical dimensions, which remain within acceptable mechanical compatibility for PC pin through-hole applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362R-1-253LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PVC6D253C01B00. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical electrical performance specifications across all critical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics.

The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and production continuity.

The resistive material difference (ceramic to cermet) does not affect electrical parameter equivalence within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. Physical dimensions remain compatible with standard PC pin through-hole PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-253LF directly replace the PVC6D253C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters, mechanical mounting characteristics, and termination styles are identical. The components are pin-compatible for through-hole PC pin applications.

Q: What is the significance of the resistive material difference?

A: The ceramic material in the PVC6D253C01B00 and cermet material in the 3362R-1-253LF both deliver the specified electrical performance within the stated tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. This difference does not affect functional equivalence for the specified parameters.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part carries active product status, providing improved long-term availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete original part.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: The PVC6D253C01B00 has a square face of 0.272" x 0.272" (6.90mm x 6.90mm). The 3362R-1-253LF has a rectangular face of 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). Both dimensions are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: Is the 3362R-1-253LF available in different packaging?

A: The substitute part is supplied in tube packaging, whereas the original part was supplied in standard packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.
