Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362W-1-504LF qualifies as a direct substitute for the PVC6G504C01B00 based on the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Both parts are 500 kOhms
• Power Rating: Both rated at 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: Both maintain ±10% tolerance
• Temperature Coefficient: Both specify ±100ppm/°C
• Number of Turns: Both feature 1.0 turn adjustment
• Adjustment Type: Both use side adjustment
• Mounting Type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination Style: Both use PC pins
• RoHS Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant

The primary difference is the resistive material composition: the PVC6G504C01B00 uses ceramic material, while the 3362W-1-504LF uses cermet material. Both materials are acceptable for this application category and do not prevent functional substitution when electrical parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362W-1-504LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PVC6G504C01B00. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment characteristics.

The 3362W-1-504LF carries active product status from Bourns Inc., ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The component is sealed and packaged in tube format, providing enhanced protection during handling and storage compared to bulk packaging.

Physical dimensions differ slightly between the two parts. The 3362W-1-504LF face dimension is 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm), compared to the PVC6G504C01B00 at 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be evaluated for the specific application to confirm fit within available space constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362W-1-504LF directly replace the PVC6G504C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 3362W-1-504LF is electrically equivalent. All functional parameters—resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and adjustment type—are identical. Physical dimensions are slightly smaller, which may require PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical fit.

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

A: Both ceramic and cermet materials are used in precision trimmer potentiometers. The cermet material in the 3362W-1-504LF provides sealed construction and enhanced environmental protection. For applications with identical electrical requirements, both materials are functionally acceptable.

Q: Why is the PVC6G504C01B00 marked as obsolete?

A: The PVC6G504C01B00 has been discontinued by Bourns Inc. The 3362W-1-504LF represents the active production equivalent within the Bourns trimmer potentiometer portfolio.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362W-1-504LF is REACH affected, while the PVC6G504C01B00 is REACH unaffected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the compliance status of the 3362W-1-504LF must be evaluated against specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The PVC6G504C01B00 was supplied in bulk packaging. The 3362W-1-504LF is supplied in tube packaging, which provides improved component protection and is standard for active production Bourns trimmer potentiometers.
