PVC6Q104C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q104C01B00 is a 100 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 ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance across resistance, power rating, tolerance, and temperature coefficient specifications while accommodating potential differences in physical dimensions and resistive material composition.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of turns: 1 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory alignment)

Resistive material (ceramic vs. cermet) and physical dimensions may vary within acceptable substitution parameters. All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical equivalence to the PVC6Q104C01B00.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 3362M-1-104LF and 72XR100KLF are electrically equivalent to the PVC6Q104C01B00 and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 requirements. The 3362M-1-104LF is manufactured by Bourns Inc. and carries active product status with sealed design characteristics. The 72XR100KLF is manufactured by TT Electronics/BI and also maintains active product status. Selection between these substitutes should be based on PCB layout constraints, as physical dimensions differ: the 3362M-1-104LF occupies a smaller footprint (6.99mm x 6.60mm), while the 72XR100KLF requires a larger mounting area (9.53mm x 9.53mm). Both parts are currently in stock with sufficient inventory for production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-104LF directly replace the PVC6Q104C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3362M-1-104LF maintains electrical equivalence across all critical parameters: 100 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 1-turn side adjustment, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions are smaller, which may require PCB layout verification.

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

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical parameters for this application. Cermet (ceramic-metal composite) is used in the 3362M-1-104LF and 72XR100KLF, while the original PVC6Q104C01B00 uses ceramic. This material difference does not affect electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature coefficient ranges.

Q: Are there physical dimension constraints when substituting the 72XR100KLF?

A: Yes. The 72XR100KLF has a square face dimension of 0.375" x 0.375" (9.53mm x 9.53mm), compared to the original part's 0.315" x 0.272" (8.00mm x 6.90mm). PCB layout must accommodate this larger footprint. The 3362M-1-104LF offers a smaller alternative at 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm).

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both 3362M-1-104LF and 72XR100KLF are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original PVC6Q104C01B00.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: The 3362M-1-104LF has 1500 pieces in stock, and the 72XR100KLF has 996 pieces in stock, both available as new original components.
