PVC6M100C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M100C01B00 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) while meeting current RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility 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). All substitute parts must be RoHS3 compliant.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Substitute (3362U-1-100LF): Identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor. Resistive material differs (Cermet vs. Ceramic) but maintains equivalent performance within specified tolerance and temperature coefficient range. Active product status ensures ongoing availability.

Similar Substitute (CT-6EV100): Meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements. Temperature coefficient specification (±250ppm/°C) exceeds the original ±100ppm/°C requirement but remains within acceptable operational parameters for this component class. Active product status and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) provide equivalent reliability characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3362U-1-100LF is the primary substitute for PVC6M100C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc., share identical electrical specifications and temperature coefficient performance, and maintain equivalent mechanical compatibility. The 3362U-1-100LF is active in production with RoHS3 compliance. The resistive material change from ceramic to cermet does not affect functional equivalence within the specified tolerance and temperature operating range. This part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and production continuations.

CT-6EV100 serves as an alternative substitute when 3362U-1-100LF availability is constrained. Manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation, this part meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements. The temperature coefficient specification of ±250ppm/°C is broader than the original ±100ppm/°C but remains within acceptable performance parameters for trimmer potentiometer applications. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance support long-term supply continuity. Face dimensions are marginally larger (7.00mm x 7.00mm vs. 6.90mm x 6.90mm) and should be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3362U-1-100LF replace PVC6M100C01B00 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (10 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1.0), adjustment type (top adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Face dimensions are within 0.003" tolerance, compatible with standard PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance within ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) used in 3362U-1-100LF and CT-6EV100 provides sealed construction and enhanced environmental protection compared to ceramic material in the original PVC6M100C01B00.

Q: Is CT-6EV100 suitable as a substitute if 3362U-1-100LF is unavailable? A: Yes, with verification of temperature coefficient requirements. CT-6EV100 specifies ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient versus the original ±100ppm/°C. For applications requiring tighter temperature stability, 3362U-1-100LF is preferred. For general trimmer potentiometer applications, CT-6EV100 provides functional equivalence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes? A: Yes. PVC6M100C01B00 is packaged in bulk. 3362U-1-100LF is supplied in tubes. CT-6EV100 is supplied in bulk. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but may impact procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Do all three parts meet current compliance requirements? A: Yes. All three parts are RoHS3 compliant. PVC6M100C01B00 and CT-6EV100 are REACH unaffected. 3362U-1-100LF is REACH affected. Compliance status should be verified against specific end-use regulatory requirements.
