Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following core 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). All substitute parts listed maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable tolerances for through-hole PCB mounting. Resistive material differs between ceramic (main part) and cermet (substitute parts), which is acceptable as both materials meet the specified electrical performance criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362R-1-101LF is the primary direct substitute, manufactured by Bourns Inc. with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and PC pin termination while offering sealed construction and improved availability.

The 3329H-1-101LF provides an alternative from Bourns Inc. with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Physical form factor differs (round 0.250" diameter versus square 0.272" face), requiring PCB layout verification for mechanical fit.

The 25PR100LF and 72PR100LF are manufactured by TT Electronics/BI with active product status. Both maintain full electrical equivalence. The 25PR100LF has a square 0.270" x 0.270" footprint similar to the original part. The 72PR100LF has a larger square 0.375" x 0.375" footprint and requires PCB space confirmation.

All substitute parts are ROHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring the specified electrical performance. Selection should prioritize footprint compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-101LF directly replace the PVC6D101C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 100 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn, top adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions are comparable (0.275" x 0.260" versus 0.272" x 0.272"), and both are ROHS3 compliant.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance criteria for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) used in substitute parts provides sealed construction and improved environmental protection compared to ceramic material in the original part.

Q: Are there physical footprint differences I need to consider?

A: Yes. The 3329H-1-101LF has a round 0.250" diameter form factor. The 25PR100LF has a 0.270" x 0.270" square footprint. The 72PR100LF has a larger 0.375" x 0.375" square footprint. PCB layout verification is required when substituting parts with different physical dimensions.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are RoHS compliant. The main part and 3362R-1-101LF, 3329H-1-101LF, and 72PR100LF are ROHS3 compliant. The 25PR100LF is RoHS compliant.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability?

A: The 3329H-1-101LF has the highest inventory (1202 pcs), followed by 72PR100LF (1180 pcs) and 3362R-1-101LF (973 pcs). All are active products with ongoing manufacturing.
