Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362X-1-205LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 2 MOhms
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical tolerance: ±10%
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical number of turns: 1.0
• Identical adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical termination style: PC Pins

The primary difference is the resistive material composition (ceramic vs. cermet) and physical dimensions. Both materials meet the specified electrical performance requirements. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362X-1-205LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PVC6H205C01B00. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The substitute maintains all critical electrical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics. The cermet resistive material in the substitute provides equivalent performance to the ceramic material in the original part. Physical dimensions differ slightly; PCB layout verification is necessary to confirm fit within existing mounting footprints. The substitute's active product status ensures availability for current and future production requirements.
