PVC6M105C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6M105C01B00 is a 1 MOhm 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. in the PVC6 series. This component features ceramic resistive material, PC pin termination, and top adjustment capability with 1 turn of adjustment. The part is currently classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring this resistance value and power rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PVC6M105C01B00 are qualified based on matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 MOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1
• Adjustment type: Top Adjustment
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• RoHS3 compliance

All identified substitutes meet these core requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and packaging format are permitted within the scope of functional equivalence for this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance, making them suitable for applications requiring the PVC6M105C01B00. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

3362U-1-105LF (Bourns Inc., Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed): This direct Bourns alternative maintains manufacturer continuity and offers sealed construction. Physical dimensions are comparable to the original part (6.99mm x 6.60mm). REACH Affected status requires verification for regulated applications.

72PR1MEGLF (TT Electronics/BI, Series 72): This substitute provides REACH Unaffected status and maintains all electrical specifications. Physical dimensions are larger (9.53mm x 9.53mm), requiring PCB layout verification for space-constrained applications.

CT-6ETP105 (Nidec Components Corporation, CT6 Series): This option offers REACH Unaffected status with physical dimensions closely matching the original part (7.00mm x 7.00mm). Moisture Sensitivity Level is rated as 1 (Unlimited), matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PVC6M105C01B00 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes?

A: Yes, all three substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 1 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn adjustment, top adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions vary slightly; verify PCB layout compatibility before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers?

A: The original PVC6M105C01B00 uses ceramic material, while all substitutes use cermet material. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating) for this application. Cermet construction in the substitutes provides sealed design benefits in the 3362U series.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The original part packaging is unspecified. Substitutes are available in Tube (3362U-1-105LF), Bulk (72PR1MEGLF), and Tape & Box (CT-6ETP105) formats. Select packaging based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: What does REACH Affected status mean for the 3362U-1-105LF?

A: REACH Affected indicates the part is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and region before selection.

Q: Do physical dimension differences affect circuit performance?

A: Physical dimensions do not affect electrical performance. However, larger dimensions (72PR1MEGLF at 9.53mm x 9.53mm) may require PCB layout modifications. The CT-6ETP105 and 3362U-1-105LF offer dimensions closest to the original part.
