PVC6G202A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6G202A01B00 is a 2 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, side adjustment, 1 turn).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts must match the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins

All four substitute parts listed meet these core requirements. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable ranges for through-hole applications. The primary distinction among substitutes is resistive material composition (cermet vs. ceramic), product status (active vs. obsolete), and regulatory compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection should prioritize product status and regulatory compliance:

3362W-1-202LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed) is the primary recommended substitute. It is manufactured by the original equipment supplier, maintains active product status, and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. This part offers the highest supply continuity and regulatory alignment.

3329W-1-202LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3329 - Sealed) is an alternative from the same manufacturer with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions differ slightly, requiring PCB layout verification.

72XR2KLF (TT Electronics/BI Series 72) is an active substitute with ROHS3 compliance. The larger square footprint (0.375" x 0.375") requires PCB space confirmation before selection.

RJ-6X202 (Nidec Components Corporation RJ-6 Series) is an active substitute with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Dimensions are comparable to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PVC6G202A01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts match the required electrical specifications (2 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical configuration (through-hole, PC pins, side adjustment, 1 turn). Physical dimensions vary; PCB layout must accommodate the selected substitute's footprint.

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

A: The original PVC6G202A01B00 uses ceramic material. All substitutes use cermet material. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters. Cermet construction is standard in modern sealed trimmer potentiometers and provides improved environmental protection.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The PVC6G202A01B00 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. Active substitutes from Bourns Inc. (3362W-1-202LF and 3329W-1-202LF) represent the current product line for equivalent 2 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometers.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitutes?

A: The original PVC6G202A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. All four substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Do physical dimension differences affect PCB compatibility?

A: Yes. The original part measures 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). Substitutes range from 0.275" x 0.260" to 0.375" x 0.375". PCB hole spacing and component placement must be verified for the selected substitute before production implementation.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability?

A: 3362W-1-202LF (Bourns) has 3400 units in stock. RJ-6X202 (Nidec) has 731 units. Both 3329W-1-202LF and 72XR2KLF have intermediate inventory levels. Current availability should be confirmed with your component supplier.
