PVC6A104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6A104C01B00 is a 100 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical specifications including 100 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1-turn top adjustment configuration with through-hole PC pin mounting.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (100 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Resistive material variation (ceramic to cermet) is permitted within this product category as both materials satisfy the specified electrical performance. Physical dimensions may vary within industry-standard tolerances for through-hole trimmer potentiometers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The 3362P-1-104LF from Bourns Inc. maintains manufacturer continuity and is packaged in tube format with 86,460 units in stock. The 72PMR100KLF and 72PR100KLF from TT Electronics/BI are both active alternatives with bulk packaging and substantial inventory (764 and 1,680 units respectively). Selection should prioritize active product status and supply chain availability. The 3362P-1-104LF offers the advantage of Bourns Inc. manufacturing heritage with the PVC6 series lineage through the Trimpot® 3362 sealed series. TT Electronics/BI alternatives provide equivalent electrical performance with established supply channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6A104C01B00 be directly replaced with the 3362P-1-104LF? A: Yes. Both parts meet all core electrical specifications: 100 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1-turn top adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The resistive material differs (ceramic to cermet), which is acceptable within this product category. Physical dimensions vary slightly but remain compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the Bourns and TT Electronics/BI substitute options? A: Both manufacturers provide electrically equivalent parts meeting all specified parameters. The 3362P-1-104LF is a Bourns product with tube packaging and higher inventory. The 72PMR100KLF and 72PR100KLF are TT Electronics/BI products with bulk packaging. Selection depends on procurement preferences, packaging requirements, and supply chain logistics.

Q: Are there physical dimension considerations when substituting? A: Yes. The PVC6A104C01B00 has a square face of 0.272" x 0.272" (6.90mm x 6.90mm). The 3362P-1-104LF has a rectangular face of 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). The 72PMR100KLF and 72PR100KLF have square faces of 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm). Verify PCB layout and mechanical clearances before final selection.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PVC6A104C01B00.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials satisfy the specified electrical performance for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the substitute parts and provides equivalent resistance stability, temperature coefficient, and tolerance characteristics as the ceramic material in the original part.
