PVC6Q202A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q202A01B00 is a 2 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, side adjustment, 1-turn operation).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict matching of the following parameters: resistance value (2 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All listed substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable ranges for through-hole applications. Resistive material differs between the main part (ceramic) and substitutes (cermet), but both materials satisfy the specified electrical performance criteria. RoHS compliance status and REACH classification vary among substitutes and should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection should prioritize active product status: 3362M-1-202LF, 3329W-1-202LF, 72XR2KLF, and RJ-6X202 are all currently active products, whereas the main part PVC6Q202A01B00 is obsolete.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, all four substitute parts meet this requirement. For applications subject to REACH regulations, 3362M-1-202LF and 3329W-1-202LF are REACH Affected, while 72XR2KLF and RJ-6X202 are REACH Unaffected.

Physical dimensions vary among substitutes. The 3362M-1-202LF and RJ-6X202 offer the smallest footprints (approximately 7.0mm x 6.6mm), suitable for space-constrained layouts. The 3329W-1-202LF presents a rectangular profile (6.60mm x 8.38mm). The 72XR2KLF has the largest footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm square). PCB layout compatibility should be verified against specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3362M-1-202LF directly replace PVC6Q202A01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical configuration (through-hole, PC pins, side adjustment, 1-turn). The primary difference is resistive material (cermet vs. ceramic) and physical dimensions. The 3362M-1-202LF is smaller (6.99mm x 6.60mm vs. 8.00mm x 6.90mm) and is an active product with RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance criteria for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the substitute parts and offers improved stability and reliability in sealed designs. Ceramic is used in the obsolete PVC6Q202A01B00. The electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient) are identical.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints for PCB layout? A: Yes. Substitute parts have different face dimensions: 3362M-1-202LF (6.99mm x 6.60mm), 3329W-1-202LF (6.60mm x 8.38mm), 72XR2KLF (9.53mm x 9.53mm), and RJ-6X202 (7.00mm x 6.60mm). Verify that the selected substitute fits within available PCB space. The 72XR2KLF requires the most space due to its square profile.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance profile? A: All four substitutes are RoHS3 compliant. For REACH compliance, 72XR2KLF and RJ-6X202 are REACH Unaffected, while 3362M-1-202LF and 3329W-1-202LF are REACH Affected. Application requirements determine the appropriate choice.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in existing designs without modification? A: Electrical substitution is direct due to identical specifications. Mechanical substitution requires PCB layout verification due to dimensional differences. Packaging format differs (main part: not specified; substitutes: tube or bulk), which may affect procurement and handling procedures.
