PVC6A105C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6A105C01B00 is a 1 MOhm 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, PC pin termination, and top adjustment capability with 1 turn of adjustment. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring 1 MOhm 0.5W trimmer potentiometers with identical electrical specifications and through-hole mounting.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6A105C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (1 MOhm), 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 identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, packaging format, and manufacturer do not affect functional equivalence within the specified parameter set. Product status and compliance certifications are secondary considerations for component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—3362P-1-105LF, 72PR1MEGLF, and CT-6ETP105—are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the obsolete PVC6A105C01B00 based on the specified parameter set. Selection among these substitutes should be based on product availability, packaging requirements, and compliance status.

The 3362P-1-105LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 series) and CT-6ETP105 (Nidec CT6 series) maintain active product status and are ROHS3 compliant. The 72PR1MEGLF (TT Electronics/BI 72 series) is also active and ROHS3 compliant. All three parts are REACH compliant or unaffected. Physical dimensions vary across the three substitutes; PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for each candidate based on specific application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362P-1-105LF directly replace the PVC6A105C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn adjustment, and top adjustment type. Both are through-hole components with PC pin termination and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions differ slightly (rectangular 0.275" x 0.260" versus square 0.272" x 0.272"), requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers?

A: The PVC6A105C01B00 uses ceramic material, while the three substitutes use cermet material. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating). Material selection does not affect functional equivalence within the defined parameter set.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The PVC6A105C01B00 has a square face of 0.272" x 0.272" (6.90mm x 6.90mm). The 3362P-1-105LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm), the 72PR1MEGLF measures 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm), and the CT-6ETP105 measures 0.276" x 0.276" (7.00mm x 7.00mm). PCB footprint and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for each application.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability?

A: The 3362P-1-105LF has the highest inventory level at 65,800 pieces. The CT-6ETP105 has 1,002 pieces in stock, and the 72PR1MEGLF has 870 pieces available.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS and REACH compliance?

A: All three substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362P-1-105LF is REACH affected. The 72PR1MEGLF and CT-6ETP105 are REACH unaffected.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 3362P-1-105LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PR1MEGLF is supplied in bulk packaging. The CT-6ETP105 is supplied in tape and box (TB) packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.
