PVC6Q205C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q205C01B00 is a 2 MOhm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The substitute part identified maintains the same electrical specifications and mechanical interface requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362M-1-205LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 MOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1.0
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• RoHS3 compliance

The primary difference is the resistive material composition (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and physical dimensions, which do not affect electrical performance within the specified parameters. The substitute part is currently in active production status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-205LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PVC6Q205C01B00 based on electrical parameter equivalence and active production status. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The substitute part features Cermet resistive material and a slightly smaller physical footprint, which may require PCB layout verification for existing designs. The 3362M-1-205LF is available in tube packaging and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-205LF be used as a direct replacement in existing PCB designs?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed across all specified parameters. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.275" x 0.260" vs. 0.315" x 0.272"), requiring verification that the smaller footprint accommodates existing PCB mounting holes and clearances.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) requirements. Cermet material in the 3362M-1-205LF provides enhanced reliability and is used in the active production series.

Q: Is the 3362M-1-205LF available in the same packaging as the original part?

A: The substitute is supplied in tube packaging. Original inventory information for the PVC6Q205C01B00 does not specify packaging format in the comparison data.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362M-1-205LF is REACH Affected, while the original part status is REACH Unaffected. Compliance requirements should be verified against your application and regional regulations.

Q: What is the basis for substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching electrical specifications: 2 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn count, side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.
