Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36P100C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 10 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 25 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side 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 and REACH compliance (required)

The identified substitute part 3296P-1-100LF meets all electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution while maintaining equivalent regulatory compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36P100C01B00 and 3296P-1-100LF maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. The 3296P-1-100LF (Trimpot® 3296 - Sealed series) demonstrates improved temperature stability with a ±100ppm/°C coefficient compared to the ±150ppm/°C specification of the PV36P100C01B00. Dimensional variance between the two parts (9.60mm x 5.00mm versus 9.53mm x 4.83mm) falls within functional equivalence for through-hole PC pin applications. Selection between these parts should be based on PCB layout constraints and thermal stability requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296P-1-100LF directly replace the PV36P100C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, 25 turns, side adjustment, cermet material, PC pin termination) and equivalent mechanical mounting characteristics. Dimensional differences are minimal and do not affect through-hole PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The 3296P-1-100LF exhibits a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) compared to the PV36P100C01B00 (±150ppm/°C). This indicates superior resistance stability across temperature variations, which may be beneficial in applications with wide operating temperature ranges.

Q: Are both parts subject to the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the PV36P100C01B00 and 3296P-1-100LF are RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting equivalent regulatory standards for electronic component use.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect PCB layout?

A: The dimensional variance (0.378" x 0.197" versus 0.375" x 0.190") is negligible for standard through-hole PCB designs. Both parts utilize identical PC pin termination and side-adjustment mechanisms, ensuring functional compatibility in existing footprints.

Q: What series designation applies to each part?

A: The PV36P100C01B00 belongs to the PV36 series. The 3296P-1-100LF belongs to the Trimpot® 3296 - Sealed series. Both are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and represent different product lines with equivalent functional specifications.
