PVC6G104A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6G104A01B00 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 equivalence across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications while accommodating potential differences in physical dimensions and resistive material composition.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6G104A01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% or better
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or better
• Number of turns: 1 turn
• Adjustment type: Side adjustment
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination style: PC pins

Both identified substitutes meet these core requirements. Differences in resistive material (ceramic versus cermet) and physical dimensions are permitted within the scope of through-hole PC pin trimmer potentiometers, provided electrical performance remains equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362W-1-104LF is the primary substitute for the PVC6G104A01B00. Both are manufactured by Bourns Inc., ensuring design continuity and supply chain reliability. The 3362W-1-104LF is active in production, ROHS3 compliant, and maintains all electrical specifications. The physical footprint is slightly smaller (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm), which may require PCB layout verification but does not affect electrical performance.

The 72XR100KLF, manufactured by TT Electronics/BI, is an alternative substitute meeting all electrical requirements and offering ROHS3 compliance. The larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm) may require PCB layout accommodation. This part is suitable for applications where space constraints are not critical.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, both substitutes are acceptable. For legacy systems where RoHS compliance is not mandated, the PVC6G104A01B00 remains functionally equivalent to both alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6G104A01B00 on existing PCBs?

A: Electrical replacement is direct. Physical replacement requires verification of PCB pad spacing and layout accommodation, as the 3362W-1-104LF has a slightly smaller footprint (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm).

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (100 kOhms, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient). Cermet material in the substitutes may offer improved stability in certain environmental conditions, but electrical performance is equivalent for the specified parameters.

Q: Is the 72XR100KLF suitable for space-constrained applications?

A: The 72XR100KLF has a larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm) compared to the original part. It is suitable only for applications where this larger dimension can be accommodated on the PCB.

Q: Are both substitutes available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The 3362W-1-104LF is supplied in tube packaging, while the 72XR100KLF is supplied in bulk packaging. Original packaging specifications should be verified against procurement requirements.

Q: Do the substitutes maintain the same adjustment characteristics?

A: Yes. All three parts feature 1-turn side adjustment, ensuring identical adjustment range and control characteristics.
