PVC6M104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M104C01B00 is a 100 kOhms 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, 1 turn top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Direct replacements and functionally equivalent alternatives are available from active product lines that maintain the same electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6M104C01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: 100 kOhms resistance value, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All substitute parts listed maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and product status are noted but do not prevent functional substitution when electrical parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362U-1-104LF is the primary direct equivalent from Bourns Inc., maintaining the same manufacturer lineage and offering active product status with higher inventory availability (3800 pcs). This part is recommended for applications requiring Bourns-specific sourcing or supply chain continuity.

The 72PMR100KLF and 72PR100KLF are functionally equivalent alternatives from TT Electronics/BI, both with active product status and substantial inventory levels (764 pcs and 1680 pcs respectively). These parts are suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is acceptable and cost optimization is a consideration.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. The 3362U-1-104LF carries REACH Affected status, while the 72-series parts are REACH Unaffected. Selection should account for supply chain compliance requirements specific to the end application and destination market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362U-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6M104C01B00?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (100 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn, top adjustment, PC pins, through-hole mounting). The primary difference is resistive material (ceramic vs. cermet) and physical dimensions, which do not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between the 72PMR100KLF and 72PR100KLF?

A: Both parts are from the TT Electronics/BI 72-series with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions (0.375" x 0.375" square face). They differ in packaging (both listed as bulk) and inventory levels. Electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are equivalent.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: The PVC6M104C01B00 has a 0.272" x 0.272" square face (6.90mm x 6.90mm). The 3362U-1-104LF has a 0.275" x 0.260" rectangular face (6.99mm x 6.60mm). The 72-series parts have a 0.375" x 0.375" square face (9.53mm x 9.53mm). PCB layout and mounting hole spacing must be verified for mechanical fit, though all parts use identical PC pin termination and through-hole mounting.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply continuity?

A: The 3362U-1-104LF offers the highest inventory (3800 pcs) and maintains Bourns Inc. manufacturer continuity. The 72PR100KLF provides the second-highest inventory (1680 pcs) with active status from TT Electronics/BI.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The PVC6M104C01B00, 3362U-1-104LF, 72PMR100KLF, and 72PR100KLF are all ROHS3 compliant.
