Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PVC6H201C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 1 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)

The 3362X-1-201LF meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic), both materials deliver identical electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. The physical dimensions are comparable, and both parts feature identical adjustment mechanisms and termination styles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362X-1-201LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete PVC6H201C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics.

The 3362X-1-201LF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and production environments.

The material difference between ceramic (original) and Cermet (substitute) does not impact electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. The Trimpot® 3362 series is a sealed design, providing enhanced environmental protection compared to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362X-1-201LF be used as a direct replacement for the PVC6H201C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical characteristics (1-turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. Cermet material in the 3362X-1-201LF provides enhanced stability and environmental protection through the sealed design of the Trimpot® 3362 series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6H201C01B00 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 3362X-1-201LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both formats are suitable for through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Does the physical size difference affect PCB layout compatibility?

A: The parts have comparable rectangular dimensions suitable for standard through-hole PCB layouts. The PVC6H201C01B00 measures 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm), while the 3362X-1-201LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). Both fit standard trimmer potentiometer footprints without layout modifications.

Q: What is the compliance status of the substitute part?

A: The 3362X-1-201LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The original PVC6H201C01B00 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.
