PVC6G101C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6G101C01B00 is a 100 Ohm, 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 suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates with ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.0 turn adjustment range in a rectangular form factor measuring 8.00mm x 6.90mm.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6G101C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

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

The substitute part 3362W-1-101LF meets all electrical and functional 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 PVC6G101C01B00 was originally specified. The 3362W-1-101LF maintains identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical compatibility with standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362W-1-101LF is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PVC6G101C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting environmental and regulatory requirements. The 3362W-1-101LF is supplied in tube packaging and carries REACH Affected status, whereas the original part carries REACH Unaffected status.

Physical dimensions are comparable, with the substitute part measuring slightly smaller (6.99mm x 6.60mm vs. 8.00mm x 6.90mm). This minor dimensional difference does not impact through-hole PCB mounting compatibility. The resistive material change from ceramic to cermet does not affect electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-101LF directly replace the PVC6G101C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (100 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn side adjustment) and through-hole PC pin termination. The slightly smaller physical dimensions of the substitute do not prevent PCB mounting compatibility.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient requirements. Cermet construction in the 3362W-1-101LF provides enhanced stability and is used in the active Trimpot® 3362 series. The material difference does not affect electrical performance within the stated specifications.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The PVC6G101C01B00 has been discontinued by Bourns Inc. The 3362W-1-101LF represents the current active equivalent within the manufacturer's product portfolio.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The PVC6G101C01B00 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 3362W-1-101LF is supplied in tube packaging. This difference affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original part carries REACH Unaffected status, while the substitute carries REACH Affected status. Verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application and region.
