Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RJ-6P202 are qualified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All substitute candidates match the following critical parameters: 2 kOhm resistance value, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1-turn configuration, top adjustment type, cermet resistive material, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions vary across substitute options, ranging from 0.250" diameter to 0.375" square configurations. All substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with ROHS3 or equivalent environmental standards. Packaging formats differ between bulk and tube configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain electrical equivalence to the RJ-6P202 across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications. Selection between substitute options depends on physical space constraints and packaging requirements within the target application.

The 3329H-1-202LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3329 - Sealed) and 82PR2KLF (TT Electronics 82 Series) both feature 0.250" diameter round configurations, matching the RJ-6P202 form factor most closely. The 3329H-1-202LF carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH Affected status. The 82PR2KLF provides ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status and the highest inventory availability at 1993 units.

The 25PR2KLF (TT Electronics 25 Series) offers a compact square footprint of 0.270" x 0.270" with the largest inventory stock of 5508 units, suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts. This part maintains RoHS compliance with REACH Unaffected status.

The 72PR2KLF (TT Electronics 72 Series) features a larger square footprint of 0.375" x 0.375", appropriate for applications requiring increased thermal dissipation or mechanical stability. This part maintains ROHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What electrical parameters must match for a part to substitute the RJ-6P202?

A: The substitute part must match all of the following: 2 kOhm resistance value, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1-turn configuration, top adjustment type, cermet resistive material, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with different physical dimensions?

A: Physical dimensions vary among the qualified substitutes. The 3329H-1-202LF and 82PR2KLF maintain the closest dimensional similarity to the RJ-6P202 with 0.250" round configurations. The 25PR2KLF and 72PR2KLF feature square footprints and require PCB layout verification for mechanical fit. Confirm that the selected substitute dimensions are compatible with your PCB hole spacing and component placement constraints.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 and RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 represents the current RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU compliance standard. RoHS indicates compliance with earlier RoHS standards. Both designations confirm restriction of hazardous substances. The RJ-6P202 and most substitutes carry ROHS3 status. The 25PR2KLF carries RoHS compliance, which remains acceptable for most applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the RJ-6P202 and its substitutes?

A: The RJ-6P202 is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are available in both bulk (72PR2KLF, 82PR2KLF) and tube (25PR2KLF, 3329H-1-202LF) packaging formats. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The 25PR2KLF provides the highest inventory stock at 5508 units. The 82PR2KLF offers 1993 units with a round form factor similar to the RJ-6P202. The 3329H-1-202LF provides 1112 units with sealed construction from Bourns.

Q: What is the REACH status difference between substitutes?

A: The 3329H-1-202LF carries REACH Affected status, indicating the substance is subject to REACH registration requirements. All other substitutes, including the RJ-6P202, carry REACH Unaffected status. Confirm REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and end market.
