Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3262W-1-102 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (1 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (12), adjustment type (top adjustment), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pins), and packaging format (tube).

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances and differences in RoHS compliance status do not affect functional equivalence for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3262W-1-102LF (Bourns Inc.) is the direct equivalent with identical specifications and improved RoHS3 compliance status. This part is recommended for applications requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards.

64WR1KLF and 64YR1KLF (TT Electronics/BI) are functionally equivalent alternatives from a different manufacturer. Both parts maintain all critical electrical parameters and offer RoHS compliance. Dimensional variation is limited to the face height (0.165" versus 0.170"), which remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard through-hole PCB applications. These parts provide higher inventory availability.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on supply chain requirements, compliance mandates, and inventory status rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3262W-1-102LF be used as a direct replacement for 3262W-1-102?

A: Yes. The 3262W-1-102LF maintains identical electrical specifications, resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, resistive material, mounting type, and termination style. The primary difference is improved RoHS3 compliance status.

Q: Are the TT Electronics/BI parts (64WR1KLF and 64YR1KLF) compatible with the original Bourns design?

A: Yes. Both TT Electronics/BI parts match all critical electrical parameters and mechanical specifications. The face dimension difference (0.165" versus 0.170" height) is within acceptable tolerances for through-hole PCB mounting and does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the dimensional variation between Bourns and TT Electronics/BI parts?

A: The face height difference of 0.005" (0.127mm) is a minor mechanical variation that does not impact electrical performance or standard PCB mounting compatibility. Both dimensions accommodate standard through-hole assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: All three substitute parts (3262W-1-102LF, 64WR1KLF, and 64YR1KLF) are RoHS compliant. The 3262W-1-102LF is the direct Bourns equivalent with ROHS3 certification. The TT Electronics/BI parts carry standard RoHS compliance.

Q: Does the REACH status difference affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. REACH status differences do not affect functional equivalence or electrical performance. Selection should be based on supply chain and regulatory requirements specific to the application and end market.
