RJ-6P200 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJ-6P200 is a 20 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This cermet-based component features PC pin termination and top adjustment capability, designed for applications requiring precision resistance tuning in compact form factors. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, packaging format requirements, or specific mechanical form factor needs while maintaining core electrical functionality within acceptable parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJ-6P200 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Adjustment type: Top adjustment required
• Mounting type: Through hole required
• Termination style: PC pins required
• Resistive material: Cermet required
• Number of turns: 1.0 turn required
• Tolerance: ±10% or better
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute parts listed (25PR200LF and 82PR200LF) share identical electrical specifications for power rating, tolerance, adjustment type, mounting method, and termination style. However, these substitutes operate at 200 Ohms resistance value, representing a 10x increase from the main part specification. Mechanical form factors differ: the 25PR200LF presents a square configuration (0.270" x 0.270"), while the 82PR200LF maintains a round form (0.250" Dia). Both substitutes maintain cermet construction and through-hole PC pin termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The RJ-6P200 and 82PR200LF both carry ROHS3 certification, while the 25PR200LF holds standard RoHS compliance. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit resistance requirements and mechanical constraints. The RJ-6P200 operates at 20 Ohms with a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C. The 25PR200LF and 82PR200LF both operate at 200 Ohms with improved temperature stability at ±100ppm/°C, but require circuit design accommodation for the 10x resistance increase.

Mechanical form factor selection between 25PR200LF (square, 6.86mm) and 82PR200LF (round, 6.35mm) depends on PCB layout constraints and available mounting space. Packaging format differs: 25PR200LF ships in tube format while both RJ-6P200 and 82PR200LF use bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 25PR200LF or 82PR200LF directly replace the RJ-6P200 without circuit modification?

A: No. While both substitutes share identical electrical characteristics for power rating, tolerance, adjustment type, and termination style, they operate at 200 Ohms resistance compared to the RJ-6P200's 20 Ohms. Circuit design changes are required to accommodate this 10x resistance difference.

Q: What are the mechanical differences between substitute options?

A: The 25PR200LF features a square form factor (0.270" x 0.270" face, 6.86mm x 6.86mm) in tube packaging. The 82PR200LF maintains a round form (0.250" Dia, 6.35mm) in bulk packaging. The RJ-6P200 is round (0.276" Dia, 7.00mm) in bulk packaging. Form factor selection depends on available PCB mounting space.

Q: How do temperature coefficients compare?

A: The RJ-6P200 exhibits ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Both 25PR200LF and 82PR200LF provide improved stability at ±100ppm/°C, representing superior temperature performance across the operating range.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The RJ-6P200 and 82PR200LF carry ROHS3 certification. The 25PR200LF holds standard RoHS compliance. All three parts are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RJ-6P200 and 82PR200LF are supplied in bulk packaging. The 25PR200LF is supplied in tube packaging format.
