PVC6Q100C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q100C01B00 is a 10 Ohm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates within a ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient range, suitable for precision adjustment applications in electronic circuits.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6Q100C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (10 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (side adjustment), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins). Both substitute parts—3362M-1-100LF and 3386W-1-100—meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. The primary distinction between substitutes lies in resistive material composition (cermet vs. ceramic), physical dimensions, product status, and regulatory compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring continued supply of 10 Ohm, 0.5W trimmer potentiometers with side adjustment and PC pin termination, the 3362M-1-100LF is the primary substitute. This part maintains active product status, achieves ROHS3 compliance matching the original specification, and operates within identical electrical parameters. The 3362M-1-100LF is packaged in tube format and features cermet resistive material with slightly reduced physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm rectangular face).

The 3386W-1-100 serves as an alternative substitute where space constraints permit a larger footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm square face). This part is active and electrically equivalent but does not achieve RoHS3 compliance and carries REACH-affected status, making it unsuitable for applications with mandatory RoHS requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-100LF directly replace the PVC6Q100C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1-turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, PC pin termination). Physical dimensions differ slightly (6.99mm x 6.60mm vs. 8.00mm x 6.90mm), requiring verification of PCB layout clearance.

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

A: The original PVC6Q100C01B00 uses ceramic material, while both substitutes employ cermet. This distinction is provided in the specifications; material selection impacts long-term stability and temperature performance characteristics.

Q: Why is the 3386W-1-100 not recommended for new designs?

A: The 3386W-1-100 does not achieve RoHS3 compliance and carries REACH-affected status. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements must use the 3362M-1-100LF instead.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitutes?

A: The 3362M-1-100LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both parts are through-hole components with PC pin termination, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting a substitute?

A: The 3362M-1-100LF has 1024 pieces in stock, and the 3386W-1-100 has 859 pieces available. Both represent active products with established supply chains, unlike the obsolete PVC6Q100C01B00.
