RJ-6P201 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJ-6P201 is a 200 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This cermet-based trimmer features PC pin termination with top adjustment capability and is classified as an active product. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility parameters are maintained across alternative manufacturers, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJ-6P201 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (200 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and functional requirements. Physical dimensions vary between models, requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility during integration. Packaging format differences do not affect electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and comply with applicable regulatory requirements (RoHS and REACH). The RJ-6P201, 25PR200LF, and 82PR200LF are electrically equivalent across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on physical footprint compatibility with the target PCB layout, as dimensional differences exist. The RJ-6P201 features a 7.00mm round body, the 25PR200LF a 6.86mm square body, and the 82PR200LF a 6.35mm round body. Packaging availability (bulk versus tube) may influence procurement decisions based on order quantity and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 25PR200LF substitute for the RJ-6P201 in all applications? A: The 25PR200LF is electrically equivalent to the RJ-6P201 across all specified parameters. Physical substitution requires confirmation that the square 6.86mm x 6.86mm footprint accommodates the PCB layout designed for the 7.00mm round body of the RJ-6P201.

Q: What is the primary difference between the RJ-6P201 and 82PR200LF? A: Both parts are electrically identical. The 82PR200LF has a smaller round body diameter of 6.35mm compared to the RJ-6P201's 7.00mm diameter. PCB layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these substitute parts? A: All three parts comply with RoHS and REACH regulations. The RJ-6P201 and 82PR200LF are ROHS3 compliant, while the 25PR200LF is RoHS compliant. All share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance? A: No. The RJ-6P201 is supplied in bulk packaging while the 25PR200LF is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not influence electrical characteristics or functional performance.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility? A: Resistance (200 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins) must all remain equivalent for valid substitution.
