PVC6H200C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6H200C01B00 is a 20 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part operates with ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.0 turn adjustment range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6H200C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (20 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins).

Two substitute parts are identified:

Direct Substitute (3362X-1-200LF): Matches all critical electrical parameters and maintains side adjustment. The primary difference is resistive material composition (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and reduced physical dimensions. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant.

Similar Substitute (3386Y-1-200): Matches all critical electrical parameters but features top adjustment instead of side adjustment and larger physical dimensions. This part is active but RoHS non-compliant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362X-1-200LF is the primary substitute for new designs and production. It maintains ROHS3 compliance, matches all electrical specifications, preserves side adjustment functionality, and is currently in active production status. The smaller physical footprint may provide layout advantages in space-constrained applications.

3386Y-1-200 is suitable only when top adjustment orientation is acceptable and RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with application requirements. The larger square footprint and different adjustment mechanism require PCB layout modifications.

For applications requiring strict RoHS3 compliance and active product status, 3362X-1-200LF is the recommended selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3362X-1-200LF directly replace PVC6H200C01B00 without circuit modification?

A: Yes, provided the smaller physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm vs. 8.00mm x 6.90mm) accommodate the PCB layout and side adjustment orientation remains compatible with the mechanical design.

Q: What is the primary difference between the ceramic and Cermet resistive materials?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (20 Ohms, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C). Cermet composition in the substitute parts provides enhanced stability and is standard in active Bourns Trimpot series.

Q: Is 3386Y-1-200 compatible with existing PCB designs for PVC6H200C01B00?

A: Compatibility requires evaluation of adjustment mechanism accessibility and PCB footprint. The top adjustment orientation and larger square dimensions (9.53mm x 9.53mm) differ from the original side-adjustment rectangular design.

Q: Why is 3386Y-1-200 RoHS non-compliant?

A: RoHS non-compliance status is provided as specified in the component data. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should select 3362X-1-200LF.

Q: Are all three parts available from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes, all parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. The PVC6H200C01B00 is obsolete; 3362X-1-200LF and 3386Y-1-200 are active production parts.
