Bourns 3262X-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 3262X-1-202 is a 2 kOhm, 0.25W through-hole trimmer potentiometer with PC pin termination and side adjustment. This sealed Trimpot® 3262 series component features cermet resistive material and 12-turn adjustment capability. The part is currently active in production. Equivalent and substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, RoHS compliance requirements, or regional sourcing constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3262X-1-202 is determined by matching the following critical parameters: resistance value (2 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), 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), and face dimensions within acceptable mechanical tolerances.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Equivalent (Bourns 3262X-1-202LF): Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with improved RoHS3 compliance status.

Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent (TT Electronics/BI 64XR2KLF): Matches all electrical parameters and core mechanical specifications. Face dimension variance of 0.005" (0.13mm) in the vertical axis falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PC pin applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

3262X-1-202LF (Bourns Inc.): Select this part for direct replacement when RoHS3 compliance is required. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical to the original 3262X-1-202. This part maintains the same series designation and manufacturing standards while providing improved regulatory compliance.

64XR2KLF (TT Electronics/BI): Select this part when cross-manufacturer sourcing is necessary and RoHS compliance with REACH unaffected status is required. All electrical parameters match the original specification. The 0.005" vertical dimension variance is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for PC pin through-hole mounting applications and does not affect circuit board layout or functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3262X-1-202LF be used as a direct replacement for the 3262X-1-202?

A: Yes. The 3262X-1-202LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 3262X-1-202. The primary difference is RoHS3 compliance status. No circuit design changes or board layout modifications are required.

Q: Is the 64XR2KLF compatible with the same PCB footprint as the 3262X-1-202?

A: Yes. The 64XR2KLF has a face dimension of 0.250" x 0.165" compared to the 3262X-1-202 at 0.250" x 0.170". The 0.005" vertical difference is within standard mechanical tolerance for through-hole PC pin components and does not affect PCB hole spacing or mounting compatibility.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Resistance (2 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (12), adjustment type (side adjustment), and resistive material (cermet) must all match exactly.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 3262X-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. The 3262X-1-202LF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected. The 64XR2KLF is RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the packaging format differ between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are supplied in tube packaging.
