PVC6M202C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M202C01B00 is a 2 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, PC pin termination, and top adjustment capability with a 1-turn rotation. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing circuit maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across 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).

The substitute parts listed maintain all electrical specifications and functional characteristics of the original PVC6M202C01B00. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and packaging format do not affect electrical performance within the specified operating parameters. All substitutes are active products with current manufacturing status and full compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain electrical equivalence to the PVC6M202C01B00 across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications. Selection among substitutes should prioritize active product status and current manufacturing availability.

The Bourns 3362U-1-202LF and 3329H-1-202LF offer direct manufacturer continuity with ROHS3 compliance and active production status. The 3362U-1-202LF provides the closest dimensional profile to the original component.

The TT Electronics/BI 25PR2KLF offers compact form factor with dimensions matching the original PVC6M series footprint (6.86mm square), making it suitable for space-constrained applications.

The TT Electronics/BI 72PMR2KLF and 72PR2KLF provide larger form factors (9.53mm square) with active status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts accommodate applications where increased physical size is acceptable or beneficial for thermal management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6M202C01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Physical dimensions vary, requiring PCB layout verification for space-constrained designs.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) offers improved stability and reliability in the substitute parts, which are all active products. The original PVC6M used ceramic material.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The 3362U-1-202LF and 3329H-1-202LF are supplied in tube packaging. The 25PR2KLF is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PMR2KLF and 72PR2KLF are supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best dimensional compatibility with the original PVC6M202C01B00?

A: The 3362U-1-202LF (rectangular 6.99mm x 6.60mm) and 25PR2KLF (square 6.86mm x 6.86mm) provide the closest dimensional profiles to the original 6.90mm square footprint.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Bourns parts (3362U-1-202LF, 3329H-1-202LF) and TT Electronics/BI parts (72PMR2KLF, 72PR2KLF) are ROHS3 compliant. The 25PR2KLF is RoHS compliant. All meet environmental regulatory requirements.
