PVC6D104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D104C01B00 is a 100 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. Active alternatives with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are available from both Bourns Inc. and TT Electronics/BI.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D104C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (100 kOhms), 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 versus cermet), physical dimensions, and packaging do not affect functional compatibility within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—3362R-1-104LF, 72PR100KLF, and 72PMR100KLF—are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and meet all electrical specifications of the obsolete PVC6D104C01B00. The 3362R-1-104LF is a direct Bourns Inc. equivalent from the Trimpot® 3362 sealed series, offering continuity within the same manufacturer ecosystem. The 72PR100KLF and 72PMR100KLF are active TT Electronics/BI alternatives with equivalent electrical performance. Selection between these options should be based on availability, packaging requirements (tube versus bulk), and PCB layout constraints related to physical dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6D104C01B00? A: Yes. The 3362R-1-104LF matches all critical electrical parameters: 100 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, top adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. 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 the 72PR100KLF and 72PMR100KLF? A: Both parts are electrically identical 100 kOhms, 0.5W trimmer potentiometers from TT Electronics/BI with matching specifications. They differ in packaging (both bulk) and may have minor internal construction variations. Electrical performance and substitution capability are equivalent.

Q: Does the change from ceramic to cermet resistive material affect compatibility? A: Within the specified parameter set (100 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C), the resistive material variation between ceramic and cermet does not affect functional substitution. Both materials meet the defined electrical and thermal characteristics.

Q: Are there packaging considerations for these substitutes? A: The 3362R-1-104LF is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PR100KLF and 72PMR100KLF are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on production workflow and inventory management requirements.

Q: Is REACH compliance a factor in substitute selection? A: The 3362R-1-104LF is REACH Affected. The 72PR100KLF and 72PMR100KLF are REACH Unaffected. For applications with REACH compliance requirements, the TT Electronics/BI options are preferred.
