Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PVC6G101A01B00 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.5W
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1.0
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins

The 3362W-1-101LF meets all electrical specifications and mechanical requirements. While the resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic) and physical dimensions vary slightly, these differences do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the PVC6G101A01B00 was originally specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362W-1-101LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete PVC6G101A01B00. Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical characteristics across all critical parameters: 100 Ohm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn adjustment, side adjustment mechanism, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

The 3362W-1-101LF offers the additional advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. The substitute part is available in tube packaging with confirmed inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-101LF directly replace the PVC6G101A01B00 in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (100 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, side adjustment). The 3362W-1-101LF is electrically and functionally equivalent.

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

A: Both materials are provided in the specifications. The PVC6G101A01B00 uses ceramic material, while the 3362W-1-101LF uses cermet material. Both achieve the same electrical performance for this application.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6G101A01B00 has a face dimension of 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm), while the 3362W-1-101LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). These minor differences do not affect PC board layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Q: Why is the PVC6G101A01B00 obsolete?

A: The PVC6G101A01B00 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 3362W-1-101LF represents the current active equivalent from Bourns Inc.

Q: Does the 3362W-1-101LF meet modern compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 3362W-1-101LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.
