PVC6D101A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D101A01B00 is a 100 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 (100 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn configuration).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D101A01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (100 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through-hole), and termination style (PC pins). Resistive material may vary between ceramic and cermet without affecting electrical performance. Physical dimensions may differ within manufacturing tolerances. Product status and compliance certifications are secondary considerations that do not affect functional substitution but influence procurement decisions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (3362R-1-101LF, 25PR100LF, 72PR100LF) meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution of the PVC6D101A01B00. Selection should prioritize active product status and compliance certifications.

The 3362R-1-101LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 series) is ROHS3 compliant and maintains Bourns manufacturing continuity. This part is recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance and sealed construction.

The 25PR100LF (TT Electronics/BI series 25) is RoHS compliant with a square footprint (6.86mm x 6.86mm) closely matching the original part dimensions (6.90mm x 6.90mm). This option provides dimensional compatibility with minimal PCB layout modification.

The 72PR100LF (TT Electronics/BI series 72) is ROHS3 compliant but features a larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm). This part is suitable for applications where increased physical size is acceptable and bulk packaging is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-101LF replace the PVC6D101A01B00 in existing designs? A: Yes. The 3362R-1-101LF maintains all critical electrical parameters (100 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical specifications (through-hole PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn). Physical dimensions differ slightly (6.99mm x 6.60mm rectangular versus 6.90mm x 6.90mm square), but remain within acceptable PCB layout tolerances for most applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 25PR100LF and 72PR100LF? A: Both parts are electrically identical and functionally equivalent. The primary differences are physical dimensions and packaging. The 25PR100LF has a square footprint of 6.86mm x 6.86mm and is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PR100LF has a larger square footprint of 9.53mm x 9.53mm and is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection depends on PCB space constraints and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Does resistive material (ceramic versus cermet) affect substitution compatibility? A: No. Both ceramic and cermet resistive materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. The cermet material used in the substitute parts provides equivalent performance within the defined tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: The 3362R-1-101LF and 72PR100LF are ROHS3 compliant. The 25PR100LF is RoHS compliant. The original PVC6D101A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any of the three substitutes are acceptable.

Q: Can I use these substitutes interchangeably on the same PCB? A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed. Mechanical interchangeability depends on PCB layout. The 25PR100LF offers the closest dimensional match to the original part. The 72PR100LF requires verification of available PCB space due to its larger footprint. The 3362R-1-101LF has a rectangular footprint that may require minor layout adjustment compared to the square original.
