PVC6G104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6G104C01B00 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. The part operates within a ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient range, suitable for precision adjustment applications in electronic circuits.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6G104C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (100 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All substitute parts must maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure functional compatibility within the original circuit design.

The two identified substitutes meet these core requirements:

3362W-1-104LF (Direct Substitute): Bourns Inc. Trimpot® 3362 series, active product status, cermet resistive material, ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected.

72XR100KLF (Similar Substitute): TT Electronics/BI 72 series, active product status, cermet resistive material, ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362W-1-104LF is the primary direct substitute for the PVC6G104C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc., share identical electrical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The 3362W-1-104LF is an active product with established supply availability. The transition from ceramic to cermet resistive material does not affect functional equivalence for the specified electrical parameters. Physical dimensions are slightly smaller, requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. REACH affected status requires compliance review for applications subject to REACH regulations.

72XR100KLF is a secondary equivalent option from TT Electronics/BI. All electrical parameters match the original specification. The 72 series maintains active product status and ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. Physical dimensions are larger (square 0.375" x 0.375" format), necessitating PCB footprint verification before implementation. Cermet construction provides equivalent performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Selection between the two substitutes depends on PCB layout constraints, REACH compliance requirements, and supply chain considerations. Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6G104C01B00 without circuit modification?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the slightly smaller physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm). All electrical parameters are equivalent. REACH compliance status must be verified for the application.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) for this application. Cermet construction in the substitute parts provides equivalent electrical performance within the defined parameters.

Q: Are there physical footprint differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 3362W-1-104LF has a rectangular face of 6.99mm x 6.60mm, while the 72XR100KLF has a square face of 9.53mm x 9.53mm. PCB layout verification is required before selecting either substitute.

Q: Does the packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The 3362W-1-104LF is supplied in tube packaging, and the 72XR100KLF in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical specifications or functional equivalence.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for REACH-regulated applications?

A: The 72XR100KLF has REACH unaffected status. The 3362W-1-104LF is REACH affected and requires compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations.
