Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6Q201C01B00 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 200 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: 1.0 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-1-201LF meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic), both materials satisfy the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements for this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-201LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete PVC6Q201C01B00. Selection is based on:

• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient) are identical.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type, termination style, adjustment mechanism, and form factor are functionally equivalent.
• Product Status: The 3362M-1-201LF is an active product with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring environmental and regulatory alignment.
• Availability: The 3362M-1-201LF is available in higher inventory quantities (1199 Pcs vs. 735 Pcs), supporting procurement continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-201LF be used as a direct replacement for the PVC6Q201C01B00?

A: Yes. The 3362M-1-201LF meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for substitution, including resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, adjustment type, and termination style.

Q: What is the difference between Ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both materials satisfy the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) requirements. Cermet material in the 3362M-1-201LF provides enhanced reliability and is used in the active product line.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6Q201C01B00 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 3362M-1-201LF is packaged in Tube format. Both are through-hole components suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Is the 3362M-1-201LF RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the 3362M-1-201LF is ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: Why is the PVC6Q201C01B00 marked as obsolete?

A: The PVC6Q201C01B00 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 3362M-1-201LF represents the current active equivalent in the Bourns trimmer potentiometer product line.
