PVC6M202A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M202A01B00 is a 2 kOhms 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.

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 (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All listed substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable tolerances for through-hole mounting applications. Resistive material differs between ceramic (main part) and cermet (substitutes), both acceptable for this specification class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: 3362U-1-202LF

The 3362U-1-202LF is the direct Bourns equivalent with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains manufacturer continuity and is available in tube packaging with 2850 units in stock.

Secondary Recommendations: 25PR2KLF, 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF, 82PR2KLF

All TT Electronics/BI alternatives meet electrical specifications and carry active product status with RoHS compliance. Selection among these options depends on packaging requirements (tube versus bulk) and physical dimension constraints for PCB layout. The 25PR2KLF offers square geometry (6.86mm x 6.86mm) closest to the original part. The 72-series parts feature larger square (9.53mm x 9.53mm) or round (6.35mm diameter) geometries. All parts are available in production quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a cermet trimmer potentiometer as a direct replacement for the ceramic PVC6M202A01B00?

A: Yes. Both ceramic and cermet resistive materials meet the specified electrical parameters (2 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient). Cermet materials offer improved stability and are standard in active production lines.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the PVC6M202A01B00?

A: The PVC6M202A01B00 is classified as obsolete. Active substitute parts ensure long-term supply chain reliability and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical physical dimensions?

A: No. Physical dimensions vary: the original part measures 6.90mm x 6.90mm (square), while substitutes range from 6.35mm diameter (82PR2KLF) to 9.53mm x 9.53mm (72-series). Verify PCB layout compatibility before selection.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance status?

A: The 3362U-1-202LF, 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF, and 82PR2KLF all carry ROHS3 compliance. The 25PR2KLF carries standard RoHS compliance. All are acceptable for regulated applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 3362U-1-202LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 25PR2KLF is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF, and 82PR2KLF are supplied in bulk packaging. Select based on assembly process requirements.
