PVC6D105A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D105A01B00 is a 1 MOhm 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, PC pin termination, and top adjustment capability with a single turn. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring 1 MOhm trimmer potentiometers with 0.5W power rating and PC pin configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PVC6D105A01B00 are qualified based on matching the following critical parameters: 1 MOhm resistance value, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, single turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All identified substitutes meet these electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences in resistive material (ceramic versus cermet), physical dimensions, packaging format, and product status are noted but do not disqualify functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—3362R-1-105LF, 72PR1MEGLF, and CT-6ETP105—satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct functional substitution of the obsolete PVC6D105A01B00.

The 3362R-1-105LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 series) and CT-6ETP105 (Nidec CT6 series) offer the closest physical footprints to the original part, with dimensions near 7.00mm square. The 72PR1MEGLF (TT Electronics 72 series) features a larger 9.53mm square footprint and should be selected only when PCB layout accommodates the increased size.

All substitute parts carry active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The shift from ceramic to cermet resistive material in the substitutes represents a material upgrade that maintains electrical performance within specified tolerances while improving stability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-105LF directly replace the PVC6D105A01B00 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-105LF matches all critical electrical parameters and termination style. Physical dimensions are comparable (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 6.90mm x 6.90mm), permitting direct PCB substitution in most applications. Verify PCB layout clearances before implementation.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) used in the substitute parts provides enhanced stability and reliability compared to ceramic material in the original part.

Q: Is the 72PR1MEGLF suitable for space-constrained applications?

A: No. The 72PR1MEGLF occupies a 9.53mm square footprint, significantly larger than the original 6.90mm square dimension. Select this part only when PCB layout explicitly permits the increased size.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-105LF, 72PR1MEGLF, and CT-6ETP105 all carry ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental regulations. The original PVC6D105A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 3362R-1-105LF is supplied in Tube packaging. The 72PR1MEGLF is supplied in Bulk packaging. The CT-6ETP105 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Select based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the physical dimensions of the selected substitute. All parts meet identical electrical specifications and termination requirements. Verify component placement and clearances before production implementation.
