PVC6D503C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6D503C01B00 is a 50 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, 1-turn top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Active alternatives with identical electrical specifications are available from both Bourns Inc. and TT Electronics/BI manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (50 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 substitute parts listed meet these electrical and mechanical criteria. Physical dimensions vary across substitute options, requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. Resistive material differs between ceramic (main part) and cermet (substitute parts), which is acceptable within the functional specification. RoHS3 compliance is maintained across all options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the PVC6D503C01B00. Selection between Bourns Inc. alternatives (3362R-1-503LF, 3329H-1-503LF) and TT Electronics/BI alternatives (25PR50KLF, 72PR50KLF, 72PMR50KLF) depends on PCB layout constraints and available board space. The 3362R-1-503LF (rectangular 0.275" x 0.260" face) and 25PR50KLF (square 0.270" x 0.270" face) provide dimensions closest to the original PVC6D503C01B00 (square 0.272" x 0.272" face). The 3329H-1-503LF offers a round profile (0.250" diameter) for applications with different spatial requirements. The 72PR50KLF and 72PMR50KLF feature larger square profiles (0.375" x 0.375" face) and are supplied in bulk packaging. All options maintain ROHS3 compliance or equivalent RoHS certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6D503C01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts? A: Direct replacement is possible only if PCB layout accommodates the physical dimensions of the selected substitute. The 3362R-1-503LF and 25PR50KLF provide the closest dimensional compatibility. The 3329H-1-503LF and 72-series parts require layout verification due to different form factors.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (50 kOhms, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient). Cermet material is used in all active substitute parts and provides equivalent performance for the stated application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: Yes. The 3362R-1-503LF and 3329H-1-503LF are supplied in tube packaging. The 25PR50KLF is supplied in tube packaging. The 72PR50KLF and 72PMR50KLF are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Which substitute offers the best dimensional match to the original PVC6D503C01B00? A: The 25PR50KLF (square 0.270" x 0.270" face, 6.86mm x 6.86mm) provides the closest dimensional compatibility to the original part (square 0.272" x 0.272" face, 6.90mm x 6.90mm).

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements? A: Yes. The 3362R-1-503LF, 3329H-1-503LF, 72PR50KLF, and 72PMR50KLF are ROHS3 compliant. The 25PR50KLF is RoHS compliant. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements.
