Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362R-1-254LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 250 kOhms
• Matching 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 (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete). Both materials meet the specified electrical performance parameters for this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362R-1-254LF is the direct equivalent for the obsolete PVC6D254C01B00. Selection of the active substitute is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance maintained in both parts
• Same manufacturer (Bourns Inc.) ensuring design consistency
• Cermet resistive material in the substitute provides equivalent performance within specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-254LF directly replace the PVC6D254C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-254LF meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, adjustment type, mounting configuration, and termination style. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for through-hole PCB mounting.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance parameters (±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) for this application. Cermet material in the 3362R-1-254LF provides sealed construction, which is reflected in the active product status and REACH compliance designation.

Q: Why is the PVC6D254C01B00 obsolete?

A: The PVC6D254C01B00 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 3362R-1-254LF represents the current active equivalent within the Bourns trimmer potentiometer product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6D254C01B00 packaging is not specified in the data. The 3362R-1-254LF is supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. Both the PVC6D254C01B00 and 3362R-1-254LF are ROHS3 compliant.
