Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PVC6Q200C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 1 Turn (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)

The 3362M-1-200LF meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and physical dimensions vary slightly, these differences remain within acceptable substitution criteria for this product category. The substitute part maintains identical electrical performance specifications and functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-200LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete PVC6Q200C01B00. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient. The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and production environments. The 3362M-1-200LF is packaged in Tube format and represents the current production equivalent within the Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed series.

Physical dimensions differ slightly between the two parts. The PVC6Q200C01B00 measures 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm), while the 3362M-1-200LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout verification is necessary to confirm mechanical fit within existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-200LF directly replace the PVC6Q200C01B00 in existing designs?
