PVC6H102A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6H102A01B00 is a 1 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. Active alternatives with comparable electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are available from multiple manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6H102A01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (1 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). All identified substitutes meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Resistive material variation between ceramic and cermet does not affect functional compatibility within the specified electrical parameters. Physical dimensions may vary within acceptable mounting tolerances for through-hole applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (3362X-1-102LF, 72XR1KLF, RJ-6X102) satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution of the obsolete PVC6H102A01B00. Selection should prioritize active product status and regulatory compliance.

The 3362X-1-102LF is a direct Bourns Inc. alternative from the Trimpot® 3362 sealed series with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. This part maintains manufacturer continuity and is available in tube packaging.

The 72XR1KLF, manufactured by TT Electronics/BI, offers ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status and is supplied in bulk packaging. Physical dimensions are square format (0.375" x 0.375" face).

The RJ-6X102, manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, provides ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Physical dimensions are rectangular format (0.276" x 0.260" face).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362X-1-102LF directly replace the PVC6H102A01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1.0 turn, side adjustment) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pin termination). The 3362X-1-102LF is active and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the substitute parts and provides equivalent performance within the stated tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes? A: Yes. The 3362X-1-102LF is supplied in tube packaging, while 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are supplied in bulk packaging. Physical dimensions also vary: 3362X-1-102LF and RJ-6X102 have rectangular faces, while 72XR1KLF has a square face. All are compatible with through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: Which substitute has the best regulatory compliance? A: All three substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362X-1-102LF is REACH affected, while 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are REACH unaffected. Selection depends on specific regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in existing designs? A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed. Physical dimensions should be verified against PCB layout constraints, particularly for the 72XR1KLF square format variant.
