Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Bourns 3262X-1-104 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 12
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins

The TT Electronics/BI 64XR100KLF meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Minor dimensional variation in the face width (0.165" vs. 0.170") remains within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PC pin applications and does not affect functional performance or board layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TT Electronics/BI 64XR100KLF is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the Bourns 3262X-1-104. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance: The 64XR100KLF is RoHS Compliant, while the 3262X-1-104 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must use the 64XR100KLF.

REACH Status: The 64XR100KLF is REACH Unaffected, while the 3262X-1-104 is REACH Affected. Applications requiring REACH compliance should prioritize the 64XR100KLF.

Moisture Sensitivity: The 64XR100KLF carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture resistance compared to the 3262X-1-104 (MSL Not Applicable).

Inventory Availability: The 64XR100KLF has 2824 units in stock versus 1060 units for the 3262X-1-104, providing greater supply security.

Both parts share identical electrical performance and are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TT Electronics/BI 64XR100KLF replace the Bourns 3262X-1-104 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 100 kOhm resistance, 0.25W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 12-turn adjustment, side adjustment type, cermet material, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination. The minor 0.005" (0.13mm) difference in face width does not affect board layout or functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS and REACH compliance differences?

A: RoHS compliance restricts hazardous substances in electrical equipment sold in the European Union. REACH compliance addresses chemical safety and substance registration. If your application or market requires either certification, the 64XR100KLF meets both requirements while the 3262X-1-104 does not. Verify your specific regulatory requirements before part selection.

Q: Are there any dimensional concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The face dimensions differ slightly: 3262X-1-104 is 0.250" x 0.170" while the 64XR100KLF is 0.250" x 0.165". This 0.005" (0.13mm) reduction in width is within standard mechanical tolerance for through-hole PC pin components and does not impact PCB footprint compatibility or mounting hole alignment.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, the TT Electronics/BI 64XR100KLF is recommended due to RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected status, superior moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and higher inventory availability. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and adjustment characteristics.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage considerations?

A: The 64XR100KLF carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The 3262X-1-104 has MSL Not Applicable. Standard component storage practices apply to both parts.
