Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RJ-6P204 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 1 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Top Adjustment (exact match required)
• Resistive material: Cermet (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The 82PR200KLF from TT Electronics/BI meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RJ-6P204 and 82PR200KLF maintain Active product status with full regulatory compliance under RoHS3 and REACH standards. The electrical and functional specifications are identical across all critical parameters. The dimensional difference (0.276" vs 0.250" diameter) represents a minor mechanical variation that does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in standard through-hole applications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and PCB layout constraints related to the physical diameter tolerance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 82PR200KLF replace the RJ-6P204 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics. The primary consideration is the physical diameter difference (7.00mm vs 6.35mm), which may affect PCB hole spacing or mechanical mounting clearance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the diameter difference?

A: The RJ-6P204 has a 0.276" (7.00mm) diameter, while the 82PR200KLF has a 0.250" (6.35mm) diameter. This is a mechanical dimension only and does not affect electrical performance. PCB layout and mechanical mounting space must accommodate the selected diameter.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Both parts maintain Active product status. The RJ-6P204 has 950 pieces in stock, and the 82PR200KLF has 910 pieces in stock.

Q: Do these parts have different temperature operating ranges?

A: Both parts share the same temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. No operating temperature range data is provided in the specifications.
