PVC6E102A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6E102A01B00 is a 1 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute components necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and compatible mechanical form factors to ensure direct replacement capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PVC6E102A01B00 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 1.0 Turn (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)

All qualified substitutes meet these core electrical and functional requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications are permitted within the scope of direct replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362S-1-102LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed Series)

This part is the primary direct substitute. It maintains all electrical specifications and is manufactured by the original equipment supplier. The part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. Physical dimensions are comparable to the original part. Sealed construction provides enhanced environmental protection.

72XR1KLF (TT Electronics/BI, 72 Series)

This part meets all electrical requirements and is active in production with ROHS3 compliance. The resistive material is cermet, providing improved stability characteristics. Physical dimensions are larger (square 0.375" x 0.375" face), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility before implementation.

RJ-6X102 (Nidec Components Corporation, RJ-6 Series)

This part satisfies all electrical specifications and is active in production with ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions are comparable to the original part. Moisture sensitivity level is rated as 1 (Unlimited), matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362S-1-102LF directly replace the PVC6E102A01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions are similar, and the 3362S-1-102LF is actively produced by Bourns Inc.

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

A: The original PVC6E102A01B00 uses ceramic material, while substitute parts 3362S-1-102LF, 72XR1KLF, and RJ-6X102 use cermet material. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters. Cermet construction typically provides improved frequency response and stability characteristics.

Q: Are there physical dimension constraints when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The 72XR1KLF has a larger square form factor (0.375" x 0.375") compared to the original rectangular design (0.315" x 0.272"). PCB layout and mounting space must be verified before selection. The 3362S-1-102LF and RJ-6X102 have comparable dimensions to the original part.

Q: What is the compliance status of each substitute?

A: The original PVC6E102A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. All three substitute parts (3362S-1-102LF, 72XR1KLF, and RJ-6X102) are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362S-1-102LF is REACH affected; the 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are REACH unaffected.

Q: Is the original PVC6E102A01B00 still available?

A: The PVC6E102A01B00 is classified as obsolete. Current inventory of 699 pieces is available, but production has been discontinued. Active substitute parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production.
