PVC6E104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6E104C01B00 is a 100 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 substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility across resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and mechanical mounting characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility 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 (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All substitute parts listed meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Resistive material variation between ceramic and cermet does not affect functional substitution within the specified electrical parameters. Physical dimensions may vary within acceptable tolerance for through-hole mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (3362S-1-104LF, 3362W-1-104LF, and 72XR100KLF) are active products with ROHS3 compliance, making them suitable replacements for the obsolete PVC6E104C01B00. The 3362S-1-104LF and 3362W-1-104LF are Bourns Trimpot® 3362 sealed series variants with identical electrical specifications and smaller physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm) compared to the original part (8.00mm x 6.90mm). The 72XR100KLF from TT Electronics/BI offers equivalent electrical performance with a larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm) and is available in bulk packaging. Selection should be based on PCB layout constraints and packaging requirements for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362S-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6E104C01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 100 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The 3362S-1-104LF is an active product with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the 3362S-1-104LF and 3362W-1-104LF? A: Both are Bourns Trimpot® 3362 sealed series parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the base product number designation (3362S versus 3362W), which may reflect internal Bourns product line categorization. Electrical performance and physical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Does the resistive material change from ceramic to cermet affect substitution? A: No. Within the specified electrical parameters (100 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C), cermet resistive material provides equivalent functional performance to ceramic material. Both materials meet the defined tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements.

Q: Can the 72XR100KLF be used if PCB space is limited? A: The 72XR100KLF has a larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm) compared to the original PVC6E104C01B00 (8.00mm x 6.90mm) and the Bourns 3362 series (6.99mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout constraints should determine suitability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (3362S-1-104LF, 3362W-1-104LF, and 72XR100KLF) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PVC6E104C01B00.
