PVC6D105C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D105C01B00 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 1.0 turn resolution. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring 1 MOhm 0.5W trimmer potentiometers with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6D105C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (1 MOhm), 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 meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Resistive material (ceramic or cermet) and physical dimensions may vary within acceptable tolerances for through-hole mounting applications. RoHS3 compliance is maintained across all alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—3362R-1-105LF, 72PR1MEGLF, and CT-6ETP105—are active production components that satisfy the core electrical specifications of the obsolete PVC6D105C01B00. Selection should prioritize product availability and compliance requirements for the target application.

The 3362R-1-105LF (Bourns Trimpot® 3362 series) offers the closest dimensional profile and is available in tube packaging. This part is ROHS3 compliant but carries REACH Affected status.

The CT-6ETP105 (Nidec Components Corporation CT6 series) provides dimensional compatibility with REACH Unaffected status and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), matching the original part's environmental rating.

The 72PR1MEGLF (TT Electronics/BI 72 series) features a larger footprint (0.375" x 0.375") and is supplied in bulk packaging. This part maintains REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362R-1-105LF directly replace the PVC6D105C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Dimensional differences are minor (0.275" x 0.260" versus 0.272" x 0.272"), and both are ROHS3 compliant. Verify PCB layout clearance for the rectangular form factor.

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

A: Both ceramic and cermet materials are used in trimmer potentiometers and meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. The PVC6D105C01B00 uses ceramic material, while the substitute parts use cermet. Both materials deliver the required 1 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power handling, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Material selection does not affect electrical compatibility for this specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: Yes. The 3362R-1-105LF is supplied in tube packaging, the CT-6ETP105 in tape & box (TB) packaging, and the 72PR1MEGLF in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Does REACH Affected status on the 3362R-1-105LF affect compatibility?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the part is subject to REACH regulations but remains compliant. Selection depends on end-use application and regional regulatory requirements. The CT-6ETP105 and 72PR1MEGLF both carry REACH Unaffected status if this is a requirement.

Q: Can the 72PR1MEGLF be used in space-constrained PCB layouts?

A: The 72PR1MEGLF has a larger footprint (0.375" x 0.375") compared to the original PVC6D105C01B00 (0.272" x 0.272"). Verify available PCB space before selection. The 3362R-1-105LF and CT-6ETP105 offer more compact alternatives.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts—3362R-1-105LF, 72PR1MEGLF, and CT-6ETP105—are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original part's environmental certification.
