PVC6H100C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6H100C01B00 is a 10 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 equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates with ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and single-turn adjustment capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6H100C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: 10 Ohm resistance value, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn adjustment, side adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

The substitute parts identified—3362X-1-100LF and 3386X-1-100—satisfy all electrical and functional parameters. Both are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, turn count, adjustment mechanism, mounting method, and termination style. The primary differences are resistive material composition (cermet versus ceramic), physical dimensions, and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362X-1-100LF is the primary substitute for the PVC6H100C01B00. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain identical electrical specifications. The 3362X-1-100LF is currently in active production status with 1044 units in stock, providing supply continuity. The cermet resistive material in the 3362X-1-100LF offers improved stability characteristics compared to the ceramic material of the original part. Physical dimensions are slightly smaller, requiring PCB layout verification for mechanical fit.

The 3386X-1-100 is a secondary substitute option. While electrically equivalent, this part is RoHS non-compliant and therefore unsuitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. The 3386X-1-100 features a larger square form factor (0.375" x 0.375") compared to the rectangular geometry of the original part, necessitating board space evaluation. This part is active in production with 800 units available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362X-1-100LF directly replace the PVC6H100C01B00 without circuit modification?

A: The 3362X-1-100LF maintains all critical electrical parameters: 10 Ohm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and identical adjustment mechanism. PCB layout verification is required due to dimensional differences (0.275" x 0.260" versus 0.315" x 0.272").

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

A: Both materials are provided in the specifications. Ceramic material is used in the PVC6H100C01B00, while cermet material is used in both substitute parts. The electrical performance parameters remain identical across all three parts.

Q: Is the 3386X-1-100 suitable for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: No. The 3386X-1-100 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the 3362X-1-100LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: What are the packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in tube packaging. The original PVC6H100C01B00 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with the 3386X-1-100?

A: Yes. The 3386X-1-100 has a square form factor (0.375" x 0.375") compared to the rectangular geometry of the original part (0.315" x 0.272"). PCB footprint and mounting hole spacing must be evaluated for mechanical compatibility.
