Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3362X-1-105LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 MOhms (identical)
• Power rating: 0.5W, 1/2W (identical)
• Tolerance: ±10% (identical)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (identical)
• Number of turns: 1 (identical)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Termination style: PC Pins (identical)

The primary difference is the resistive material composition: the original uses ceramic, while the substitute uses cermet. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters. Physical dimensions differ slightly (original: 8.00mm x 6.90mm; substitute: 6.99mm x 6.60mm), which may require PCB layout verification for space-constrained applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362X-1-105LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete PVC6H105A01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, mounting configuration, and termination style.

The substitute offers significant advantages: active product status ensures ongoing availability, ROHS3 compliance meets current regulatory requirements, and the Trimpot® 3362 series represents a sealed design with enhanced reliability. The cermet resistive material provides equivalent performance to the original ceramic composition within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Physical dimensions are slightly smaller in the substitute part. PCB layout verification is required to confirm fit within existing mounting footprints, particularly in space-constrained designs. The smaller form factor generally presents no compatibility issues and may offer layout optimization opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362X-1-105LF be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the slightly smaller dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm). All electrical parameters and functional characteristics are identical. Through-hole mounting and PC pin termination are unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters: 1 MOhm resistance, ±10% tolerance, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Cermet construction in the 3362X series provides enhanced sealing and reliability characteristics typical of the Trimpot® 3362 product line.

Q: Does the substitute part require any circuit design modifications?

A: No circuit design modifications are required. Electrical specifications are identical, and the through-hole PC pin termination is unchanged. Only PCB layout verification for physical fit is necessary.

Q: What is the availability difference between these parts?

A: The original PVC6H105A01B00 is obsolete with limited remaining inventory. The 3362X-1-105LF is an active product with substantial stock availability, ensuring long-term procurement reliability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute 3362X-1-105LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current regulatory standards. The original PVC6H105A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected, reflecting its obsolete status. For new designs or compliance-sensitive applications, the substitute is the appropriate choice.
