Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 3057Y-1-103 (Bourns Inc.) qualifies as a functional substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Resistance value: 10 kOhms (identical)
• Tolerance: ±5% (identical)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (identical)
• Number of turns: 22 (identical)
• Adjustment type: Side adjustment (identical)
• Resistive material: Wirewound (identical)
• Mounting type: Chassis mount (identical)
• Termination style: PC pins (identical)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 compliant (identical)
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)

The 3057Y-1-103 exceeds the power rating specification (1W versus 0.75W), providing additional thermal margin. Physical dimensions differ slightly but remain within acceptable tolerance for chassis mount applications with standard PC pin spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3057Y-1-103 is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the 1211P103. The substitute part maintains all critical electrical parameters including resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and turn count. The increased power rating (1W versus 0.75W) provides additional operational margin without affecting circuit performance.

The 3057Y-1-103 is classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance. The Nidec 1211P103 obsolete status necessitates transition to the Bourns equivalent for new procurement and system redesigns.

Physical dimensions differ marginally; the Bourns component is slightly smaller in face area. Verification of mechanical fit within the chassis mount cavity is required prior to production implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3057Y-1-103 directly replace the 1211P103 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (10 kOhms, ±5% tolerance, ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 22-turn wirewound construction) and identical termination style (PC pins, chassis mount, side adjustment). The substitute part's higher power rating (1W) is compatible with applications designed for 0.75W operation.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference?

A: The 3057Y-1-103 is rated for 1W continuous operation, compared to the 1211P103 at 0.75W. This difference does not affect electrical performance in circuits designed for the lower rating; it provides additional thermal headroom and operational margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1211P103 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 3057Y-1-103 is supplied in tube packaging. Both maintain identical PC pin termination and chassis mount configuration. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 3057Y-1-103 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The original 1211P103 is ROHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Both components carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS code (8533.31.0000).

Q: Are there dimensional constraints for chassis mount installation?

A: The 3057Y-1-103 face dimension (0.315" x 0.190" / 8.00mm x 4.83mm) is slightly smaller than the 1211P103 (0.323" x 0.276" / 8.20mm x 7.00mm). Mechanical fit verification within the chassis cavity is required to confirm compatibility with existing mounting hardware and clearance requirements.
