PVC6E105A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6E105A01B00 is a 1 MOhm, 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 identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications while accommodating modern manufacturing and compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PVC6E105A01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 1 MOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.5W minimum (1/2W)
• 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)

The 3362S-1-105LF meets all electrical specifications and mechanical requirements. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic), both materials deliver equivalent electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges. Physical dimensions vary slightly but remain compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362S-1-105LF is a direct functional equivalent to the PVC6E105A01B00 for applications requiring 1 MOhm, 0.5W trimmer potentiometers with side adjustment and PC pin termination. Selection of the 3362S-1-105LF provides the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: The 3362S-1-105LF is an active product with established supply chain availability (7400 pcs in stock vs. 852 pcs for the obsolete PVC6E105A01B00).
• Regulatory Compliance: The 3362S-1-105LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting modern environmental and safety standards. The PVC6E105A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant.
• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns) are identical.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature through-hole mounting with PC pin termination suitable for standard PCB layouts.

The material difference (Cermet vs. Ceramic) does not impact electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362S-1-105LF directly replace the PVC6E105A01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3362S-1-105LF meets all electrical specifications (1 MOhm, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical requirements (through-hole, PC pins, side adjustment, 1.0 turn). Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.275" x 0.260" vs. 0.315" x 0.272" face), but both are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between Ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both ceramic and cermet materials deliver equivalent electrical performance within the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) ranges. Cermet materials are commonly used in modern sealed trimmer potentiometers and provide enhanced environmental protection.

Q: Why is the PVC6E105A01B00 classified as obsolete?

A: The PVC6E105A01B00 is an older design that has been superseded by the active 3362S-1-105LF series. Bourns Inc. continues to support the newer Trimpot® 3362 sealed series for new and ongoing production applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6E105A01B00 is supplied with standard packaging, while the 3362S-1-105LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Does the 3362S-1-105LF meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 3362S-1-105LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental regulations. The PVC6E105A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant and does not meet modern standards.
