PVC6Q105C01B00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6Q105C01B00 is a 1 MOhm, 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 identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning. 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 of the PVC6Q105C01B00 is based on matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 1 MOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Number of Turns: 1.0 (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)

The 3362M-1-105LF meets all specified electrical parameters and maintains through-hole PC pin configuration. Differences in resistive material (ceramic vs. cermet) and physical dimensions are within acceptable substitution parameters for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362M-1-105LF is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PVC6Q105C01B00. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 1 MOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 1.0-turn side adjustment with through-hole PC pin termination.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system support.

The primary difference is resistive material composition: the original uses ceramic while the substitute uses cermet. This material change does not affect the specified electrical performance parameters and is within acceptable substitution criteria for this trimmer potentiometer category.

Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.275" x 0.260" face for the substitute versus 0.315" x 0.272" for the original), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility during implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362M-1-105LF replace the PVC6Q105C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all specified electrical parameters: resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, adjustment type, and termination style. PCB layout must accommodate the slightly smaller physical dimensions (6.99mm x 6.60mm versus 8.00mm x 6.90mm).

Q: What is the difference between ceramic and cermet resistive materials in this application?

A: Both materials meet the specified electrical performance parameters for this product category. Cermet construction in the 3362M series provides enhanced reliability and is used in the active production substitute.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original PVC6Q105C01B00 uses standard packaging, while the 3362M-1-105LF is supplied in tube packaging. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 3362M-1-105LF is ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original part.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The PVC6Q105C01B00 has been superseded by the active 3362M series. The 3362M-1-105LF provides equivalent functionality with the benefit of ongoing manufacturer support and production availability.
