PVC6D100C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D100C01B00 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 identical electrical specifications (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 for the PVC6D100C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts must match the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 10 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Number of turns: 1.0
• Adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Mounting: Through Hole
• Termination: PC Pins
• RoHS3 compliance

The PVC6D100C01B00 is grouped with two substitute parts: the 3362R-1-100LF (direct substitute, same manufacturer) and the FT-63ETP100 (similar substitute, alternative manufacturer). Both maintain electrical equivalence and mechanical compatibility, though with minor variations in resistive material composition and temperature coefficient specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362R-1-100LF is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete PVC6D100C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc., share identical electrical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The 3362R-1-100LF is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1144 pcs vs. 1078 pcs for the original part). The primary difference is resistive material composition (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and REACH status (Affected vs. Unaffected), which do not affect functional equivalence for standard applications.

The FT-63ETP100 manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation is a secondary substitute option. It maintains all critical electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility. The temperature coefficient specification is ±150ppm/°C compared to ±100ppm/°C for the primary part, representing a 50ppm/°C variance. This part is also in active production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Face dimensions are marginally larger (0.276" x 0.276" vs. 0.272" x 0.272"), which may require verification for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-100LF directly replace the PVC6D100C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-100LF maintains identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole, PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn). Face dimensions are within 0.003" tolerance, suitable for standard PCB footprints.

Q: What is the difference between Ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in these trimmers?

A: Both materials are specified in the provided data. Ceramic material is used in the PVC6D100C01B00, while Cermet is used in both substitute parts. The electrical specifications remain equivalent across all three parts.

Q: Is the FT-63ETP100 suitable as a substitute if temperature stability is critical?

A: The FT-63ETP100 has a temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C compared to ±100ppm/°C for the PVC6D100C01B00. This 50ppm/°C difference must be evaluated against application requirements. Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The PVC6D100C01B00 is supplied with standard packaging. The 3362R-1-100LF is supplied in Tube packaging. The FT-63ETP100 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the REACH status significance for these parts?

A: The 3362R-1-100LF is REACH Affected, while the PVC6D100C01B00 and FT-63ETP100 are REACH Unaffected. REACH Affected status indicates the part contains substances of concern and requires compliance documentation for European Union applications.
