PVC6Q102A01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q102A01B00 is a 1 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Bourns Inc. with ceramic resistive material, side adjustment, and PC pin termination. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part operates with ±10% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient across a single turn adjustment range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC6Q102A01B00 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: 1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn adjustment, side adjustment type, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in resistive material (ceramic to cermet), physical dimensions, and product status are documented but do not prevent functional substitution within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—3362M-1-102LF, 72XR1KLF, and RJ-6X102—satisfy the electrical and mechanical parameter requirements for direct substitution of the obsolete PVC6Q102A01B00. The 3362M-1-102LF is a Bourns Inc. product within the active Trimpot® 3362 sealed series and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status. The 72XR1KLF, manufactured by TT Electronics/BI, is active and ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. The RJ-6X102, produced by Nidec Components Corporation, is active, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. Selection between these substitutes should be based on supply chain availability, compliance requirements specific to the application, and physical space constraints within the PCB layout, as dimensional variations exist among the three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-102LF directly replace the PVC6Q102A01B00? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1 turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The 3362M-1-102LF is active and ROHS3 compliant, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in these trimmers? A: The PVC6Q102A01B00 uses ceramic material, while the three substitutes use cermet. Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Cermet is commonly used in modern trimmer potentiometer designs and is associated with active product lines.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts? A: Yes. The PVC6Q102A01B00 has a rectangular face of 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). The 3362M-1-102LF measures 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm), the 72XR1KLF is square at 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm), and the RJ-6X102 is rectangular at 0.276" x 0.260" (7.00mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout verification is required before final selection.

Q: Which substitute has the best compliance profile? A: All three substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The 3362M-1-102LF is REACH affected, while both the 72XR1KLF and RJ-6X102 are REACH unaffected. Compliance selection depends on the regulatory requirements of the target application and end market.

Q: Can I use the 72XR1KLF if space is limited on my PCB? A: The 72XR1KLF has the largest footprint at 0.375" x 0.375" square. If space is constrained, the 3362M-1-102LF or RJ-6X102 offer smaller rectangular profiles and may be more suitable for compact layouts.
