Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6G201C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% or better
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or better
• Number of turns: 1-turn configuration
• Adjustment type: Side adjustment
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination style: PC pins

The 3362W-1-201LF meets all substitution criteria. While the resistive material differs (cermet vs. ceramic), both materials satisfy the electrical performance requirements within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. The physical dimensions are comparable, and both parts maintain identical electrical ratings and adjustment characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362W-1-201LF is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PVC6G201C01B00. Selection is based on:

• All critical electrical parameters match exactly: 200 Ohm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient
• Both parts maintain identical mechanical specifications: 1-turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination
• The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements
• The cermet resistive material in the substitute provides equivalent performance within the specified electrical parameters

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-201LF directly replace the PVC6G201C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are 200 Ohm, 0.5W, 1-turn side-adjustment through-hole trimmers with PC pin termination and identical tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance requirements within the ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient ranges. The cermet material in the 3362W-1-201LF is used in the active production series and provides equivalent functional performance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6G201C01B00 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 3362W-1-201LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both are suitable for through-hole assembly processes.

Q: What is the physical size difference?

A: The PVC6G201C01B00 has a rectangular face of 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). The 3362W-1-201LF has a rectangular face of 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). Both dimensions are compatible with standard PCB layouts for through-hole trimmer potentiometers.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both the PVC6G201C01B00 and 3362W-1-201LF are ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part is REACH affected, while the original part is REACH unaffected.
