PVC6M201A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M201A01B00 is a 200 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved availability and compliance status through active product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (200 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All listed substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and packaging do not affect functional compatibility in applications designed for the PVC6M201A01B00 specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362U-1-201LF is the primary substitute, manufactured by Bourns Inc. with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains the same manufacturer lineage as the original PVC6M201A01B00 and offers the most direct functional replacement.

The 25PR200LF, 82MR200LF, and 82PR200LF are secondary substitutes from TT Electronics/BI, all with active product status and RoHS compliance. These parts satisfy identical electrical specifications and mounting requirements. Selection between these options depends on packaging requirements (tube versus bulk) and physical form factor constraints (square versus round body).

All substitute parts are currently in stock with inventory availability exceeding 1000 units, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362U-1-201LF directly replace the PVC6M201A01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, top adjustment) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pin termination). The primary difference is resistive material (cermet versus ceramic) and product status (active versus obsolete).

Q: What is the difference between the TT Electronics/BI substitutes (25PR200LF, 82MR200LF, 82PR200LF)? A: All three parts meet identical electrical requirements. The 25PR200LF has a square body (0.270" x 0.270"), while 82MR200LF and 82PR200LF have round bodies (0.250" diameter). Packaging differs: 25PR200LF is supplied in tubes, while 82MR200LF and 82PR200LF are supplied in bulk. Physical form factor selection depends on PCB layout constraints.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. The 3362U-1-201LF, 25PR200LF, 82MR200LF, and 82PR200LF all meet RoHS compliance requirements. The original PVC6M201A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Does resistive material change (ceramic to cermet) affect circuit performance? A: No. Cermet material in the substitute parts maintains the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), ensuring equivalent electrical performance within the design specifications of applications using the PVC6M201A01B00.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability? A: The 25PR200LF has the highest inventory level at 5068 units. The 3362U-1-201LF (1200 units), 82PR200LF (1602 units), and 82MR200LF (1033 units) also provide adequate stock levels.
