Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6Q200A01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (20 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins).

The 3362M-1-200LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and functional characteristics. Both parts share the same resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment mechanism. The primary difference lies in the resistive material composition (ceramic versus cermet) and physical dimensions, which remain within acceptable mechanical compatibility for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-200LF is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PVC6Q200A01B00. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

Electrical equivalence is confirmed across all critical parameters: identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient ensure functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Product status transition from obsolete to active provides supply chain continuity and long-term availability for production and maintenance requirements.

RoHS3 compliance of the 3362M-1-200LF addresses regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing processes, whereas the original part does not meet current environmental standards.

Physical dimensions of the substitute are slightly smaller, which may require PCB layout verification for existing designs but generally presents no mechanical incompatibility for standard through-hole mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-200LF directly replace the PVC6Q200A01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (20 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn side adjustment, PC pin termination). The substitute is mechanically compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts. Verify PCB hole spacing and mounting clearance, as the substitute has slightly smaller physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm).

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) used in the 3362M-1-200LF offers improved stability and reliability characteristics compared to ceramic. The choice between materials does not affect functional compatibility when electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Is the 3362M-1-200LF suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 3362M-1-200LF is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance, making it appropriate for new designs and manufacturing processes that require current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6Q200A01B00 packaging specification is not provided in available data. The 3362M-1-200LF is supplied in tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for component selection?

A: The PVC6Q200A01B00 has 1079 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 3362M-1-200LF has 933 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both parts are currently available; however, the substitute offers superior long-term supply assurance due to active product status.
