Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6G102C01B00 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• 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 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory alignment)

Direct Substitutes (All Parameters Match):

• 3362W-1-102LF (Bourns Inc., Active status, Cermet material)
• 72XR1KLF (TT Electronics/BI, Active status, Cermet material)
• CT-6ES102 (Nidec Components Corporation, Active status, Cermet material)
• RJ-6S102 (Nidec Components Corporation, Active status, Cermet material)
• RJ-6X102 (Nidec Components Corporation, Active status, Cermet material)

Non-Qualifying Part:

• CT-6EH103 does not qualify as a substitute due to resistance value of 10 kOhms (does not match required 1 kOhms specification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement of the PVC6G102C01B00. Selection should be based on the following factors:

Product Status: All substitute parts carry Active status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The original PVC6G102C01B00 is obsolete and should be replaced in new designs.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the original part's environmental certification requirements.

Resistive Material Transition: The original part uses ceramic resistive material, while all active substitutes employ Cermet material. Cermet construction provides improved stability and performance characteristics while maintaining electrical equivalence within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient parameters.

Manufacturer Options: Bourns Inc. (3362W-1-102LF) provides a direct manufacturer continuation. TT Electronics/BI (72XR1KLF) and Nidec Components Corporation (CT-6ES102, RJ-6S102, RJ-6X102) offer qualified alternatives with established supply chains.

Packaging and Inventory: Substitute parts are available in active production with established inventory levels, supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6G102C01B00 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes. All five substitute parts (3362W-1-102LF, 72XR1KLF, CT-6ES102, RJ-6S102, RJ-6X102) match the required electrical specifications: 1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Why is the original PVC6G102C01B00 marked as obsolete?

A: The PVC6G102C01B00 has been discontinued by Bourns Inc. Active substitute parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available from multiple manufacturers to support design continuity.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and Cermet resistive materials in these parts?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating). Cermet construction is used in the active substitute parts and provides enhanced stability and performance characteristics. The electrical performance within the specified tolerances remains equivalent.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The original PVC6G102C01B00 has a rectangular face of 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). Substitute parts have slightly different dimensions: 3362W-1-102LF (0.275" x 0.260"), 72XR1KLF (0.375" x 0.375"), CT-6ES102 (0.323" x 0.276"), RJ-6S102 (0.276" x 0.260"), and RJ-6X102 (0.276" x 0.260"). PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select based on availability, supply chain preference, and PCB layout constraints. The 3362W-1-102LF (Bourns Inc.) provides continuity from the original manufacturer. Alternative manufacturers (TT Electronics/BI, Nidec Components Corporation) offer equivalent electrical performance with established production support.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: No. The original PVC6G102C01B00 packaging is not specified in the provided data. Substitute parts are available in Tube (3362W-1-102LF) and Bulk (72XR1KLF, CT-6ES102, RJ-6S102, RJ-6X102) packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Why is CT-6EH103 not listed as a substitute?

A: CT-6EH103 has a resistance value of 10 kOhms, which does not match the required 1 kOhms specification. Resistance value is a primary substitution criterion and must match exactly.
