PVC6E202C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6E202C01B00 is a 2 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination for through-hole mounting applications. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved availability and active product status.

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 (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable ranges for through-hole PCB mounting. Resistive material differs between ceramic (original) and cermet (substitutes), which is acceptable as both materials meet the specified electrical performance criteria. RoHS3 compliance is maintained across all alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete PVC6E202C01B00. The 3362S-1-202LF and RJ-6X202 offer the closest dimensional compatibility with the original part, featuring similar rectangular form factors. The 3329W-1-202LF provides an alternative Bourns solution with slightly different proportions. The 72XR2KLF from TT Electronics/BI offers a larger square form factor suitable for applications where PCB space permits. Selection should prioritize dimensional fit within the target PCB layout and available mounting hole spacing. All substitutes maintain identical electrical performance specifications and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6E202C01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes? A: Yes, all listed parts meet the core electrical specifications: 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. Physical dimensions vary, so PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance criteria for this application. Cermet materials used in the substitute parts offer improved stability and are commonly found in sealed trimmer designs. The choice between ceramic and cermet does not affect electrical substitutability when specifications are matched.

Q: Which substitute offers the best dimensional compatibility? A: The 3362S-1-202LF and RJ-6X202 provide the closest dimensional match to the original PVC6E202C01B00, with rectangular form factors and similar face dimensions in the 6.6mm to 7.0mm range.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: The 3362S-1-202LF and 3329W-1-202LF are supplied in tube packaging. The 72XR2KLF and RJ-6X202 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Can I use the 72XR2KLF if my PCB has limited space? A: The 72XR2KLF features a larger square form factor (0.375" x 0.375"), making it suitable only for applications with adequate PCB space. For space-constrained designs, the 3362S-1-202LF or RJ-6X202 are recommended.
