PVC6M100A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M100A01B00 is a 10 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, 1.0 turn top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole mounting, PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn).

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6M100A01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (10 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Temperature coefficient and resistive material (ceramic vs. cermet) are secondary considerations that do not prevent substitution when all primary parameters match.

The three identified substitutes meet all primary electrical and mechanical requirements:

• 3362U-1-100LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed): Direct equivalent with cermet resistive material and active product status
• 3329H-1-100LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3329 - Sealed): Equivalent with cermet resistive material, round form factor, and active product status
• CT-6ETV100 (Nidec Components Corporation, CT6 Series): Equivalent with cermet resistive material and active product status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, addressing the obsolescence of the PVC6M100A01B00. Selection should be based on compliance requirements and form factor constraints:

3362U-1-100LF is recommended as the primary direct substitute. It maintains Bourns Inc. manufacturing continuity, achieves ROHS3 compliance, and provides rectangular form factor dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm) compatible with the original square footprint (6.90mm x 6.90mm). This part is subject to REACH regulations.

3329H-1-100LF offers an alternative from Bourns Inc. with ROHS3 compliance and round form factor (6.35mm diameter). This configuration may require PCB layout modification due to different mechanical geometry. REACH compliance applies.

CT-6ETV100 from Nidec Components Corporation provides ROHS3 compliance with square form factor (7.00mm x 7.00mm) and REACH unaffected status. Temperature coefficient specification (±250ppm/°C) is wider than the original (±100ppm/°C) and the Bourns alternatives, which may impact precision applications. This part maintains MSL 1 rating identical to the original.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3362U-1-100LF directly replace PVC6M100A01B00 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The 3362U-1-100LF maintains identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole PC pins, top adjustment, 1.0 turn). Dimensional differences (rectangular 6.99mm x 6.60mm vs. square 6.90mm x 6.90mm) are within typical PCB pad tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: What is the primary difference between the three substitutes?

A: All three maintain electrical equivalence. Primary differences are form factor (rectangular vs. round vs. square), manufacturer (Bourns vs. Nidec), and compliance certifications. The 3329H-1-100LF round configuration requires verification of PCB footprint compatibility. The CT-6ETV100 has a wider temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C).

Q: Are there packaging considerations for production?

A: Yes. The PVC6M100A01B00 was supplied in bulk packaging. Substitutes are available in Tube (3362U-1-100LF, 3329H-1-100LF) or Tape & Box (CT-6ETV100) formats. Packaging selection should align with assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Does the change from ceramic to cermet resistive material affect performance?

A: Cermet material in the substitute parts provides improved stability and sealed construction compared to ceramic. All parts maintain the specified tolerance (±10%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C for Bourns substitutes). The CT-6ETV100 cermet material operates at ±250ppm/°C, which is acceptable for general trimmer applications but may require evaluation for precision circuits.

Q: What compliance changes occur with substitution?

A: The original PVC6M100A01B00 is RoHS non-compliant. All three substitutes achieve ROHS3 compliance. The 3362U-1-100LF and 3329H-1-100LF are REACH Affected; the CT-6ETV100 is REACH Unaffected. Compliance selection depends on end-market regulatory requirements.
