Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6E202A01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn adjustment, side adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All listed substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable ranges for through-hole PCB applications. Resistive material differs between the main part (ceramic) and substitutes (cermet), which is acceptable as both materials satisfy the specified electrical performance criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete PVC6E202A01B00. The 3362S-1-202LF and 3329W-1-202LF are Bourns Inc. products within the Trimpot® sealed series, offering ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. The 72XR2KLF from TT Electronics/BI and RJ-6X202 from Nidec Components Corporation are ROHS3 compliant alternatives with REACH unaffected status. Selection should prioritize active product availability, compliance requirements for target markets, and physical footprint compatibility with existing PCB layouts. All substitutes maintain identical electrical performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6E202A01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes? A: Yes. All listed parts meet the required electrical specifications: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions vary, requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the primary difference between the main part and substitutes? A: The PVC6E202A01B00 uses ceramic resistive material and is obsolete. All substitutes use cermet resistive material and maintain active product status with current manufacturing support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes? A: The 3362S-1-202LF, 3329W-1-202LF, and 72XR2KLF are ROHS3 compliant with REACH affected status (Bourns and TT Electronics). The RJ-6X202 is ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. The original PVC6E202A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Do physical dimensions affect substitution? A: Yes. Verify PCB hole spacing and component clearance. The PVC6E202A01B00 measures 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). Substitutes range from 0.260" x 0.330" (6.60mm x 8.38mm) to 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm). Confirm fit within available board space.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability? A: The 3362S-1-202LF has 1900 units in stock, the highest inventory level among all options, followed by 3329W-1-202LF with 1145 units and 72XR2KLF with 1000 units.
