PVC6H202C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6H202C01B00 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 classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance requirements. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved availability through active product lines.

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), 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 across substitute options, requiring PCB layout verification during component selection. Resistive material differs between the main part (ceramic) and substitutes (cermet), which does not affect electrical performance within the specified parameters but may influence long-term stability characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain electrical equivalence to the PVC6H202C01B00. The 3362X-1-202LF and RJ-6X202 offer the closest dimensional compatibility with face sizes near the original specification. The 3329W-1-202LF provides an alternative from Bourns' active Trimpot® 3329 series with slightly larger height dimension. The 72XR2KLF from TT Electronics/BI features a larger square footprint and is suitable for applications where PCB space permits. All substitute parts are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete PVC6H202C01B00.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace PVC6H202C01B00 with any of these substitutes?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of PCB layout compatibility due to dimensional variations. The 3362X-1-202LF and RJ-6X202 have the closest face dimensions to the original part. Physical footprint must be confirmed before implementation.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (2 kOhms, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient). Cermet material used in substitute parts offers improved stability characteristics and is standard in active product lines.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PVC6H202C01B00.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability?

A: The 3362X-1-202LF offers the highest inventory level (4450 pcs) among active alternatives, followed by 72XR2KLF (1000 pcs) and 3329W-1-202LF (1145 pcs).

Q: Do packaging differences affect component performance?

A: Packaging (tube or bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection depends on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: What should I verify before finalizing a substitute selection?

A: Confirm PCB footprint compatibility using the provided face dimensions, verify adjustment mechanism accessibility in your assembly, and validate that the selected part's inventory meets your production timeline requirements.
