PVC6D100A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D100A01B00 is a 10 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, 1.0 turn 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 equivalence (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D100A01B00 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Electrical Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

• Resistance: 10 Ohms
• Power Rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Number of Turns: 1.0
• Adjustment Type: Top Adjustment

Mechanical Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: PC Pins

Acceptable Variations:

• Resistive Material: Ceramic or Cermet (both acceptable for this application)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or ±150ppm/°C (within acceptable operating range)
• Physical Dimensions: Minor variations acceptable within standard PCB layout tolerances
• Packaging: Tube or Tape & Box formats

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are electrically and mechanically compatible with the obsolete PVC6D100A01B00.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362R-1-100LF (Bourns Inc. Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed): Direct substitute with identical electrical specifications. ROHS3 compliant and active product status ensure long-term availability. Rectangular form factor (6.99mm x 6.60mm) requires PCB layout verification for dimensional compatibility. Recommended for new designs and production transitions.

3329H-1-100LF (Bourns Inc. Trimpot® 3329 - Sealed): Electrically equivalent with identical specifications. ROHS3 compliant and active product status. Round form factor (6.35mm diameter) differs from original square geometry; PCB footprint redesign may be required. Highest inventory availability (3700 pcs) supports supply chain continuity. Suitable for applications where form factor change is acceptable.

FT-63ETP100 (Nidec Components Corporation FT-63): Electrically compatible with temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C (versus ±100ppm/°C original). ROHS3 compliant and active product status. Square form factor (7.00mm x 7.00mm) closely matches original dimensions. Cross-manufacturer substitution requires validation in temperature-sensitive applications due to temperature coefficient variance.

All three substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliance status of the obsolete PVC6D100A01B00.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3329H-1-100LF be used as a direct replacement despite its round form factor?

A: The 3329H-1-100LF is electrically and functionally equivalent to the PVC6D100A01B00. However, the round geometry (6.35mm diameter) differs from the original square form (6.90mm x 6.90mm). PCB footprint compatibility must be verified before implementation. If the PCB layout accommodates the dimensional change, this part is a valid substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference in the FT-63ETP100?

A: The FT-63ETP100 has a temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C compared to the original ±100ppm/°C. This means the resistance will drift slightly more over temperature extremes. For applications operating within standard industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C), this variance is typically acceptable. Applications requiring tighter temperature stability should prioritize the Bourns substitutes (3362R or 3329H).

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original PVC6D100A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is beneficial for modern manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best dimensional compatibility?

A: The FT-63ETP100 provides the closest dimensional match with a square form factor (7.00mm x 7.00mm) versus the original (6.90mm x 6.90mm). The 3362R-1-100LF (rectangular, 6.99mm x 6.60mm) and 3329H-1-100LF (round, 6.35mm diameter) require greater PCB layout verification.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 3362R-1-100LF and 3329H-1-100LF are supplied in Tube packaging. The FT-63ETP100 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly line requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes available in active production?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts have active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The original PVC6D100A01B00 is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs.
