Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TT Electronics / BI Technologies 84WR500KLF is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the Bourns 3269W-1-504. Both components share identical resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, turn count, adjustment mechanism, resistive material, mounting type, and physical dimensions.

The 84WR500KLF offers improved compliance status: RoHS Compliant (versus RoHS non-compliant for the 3269W-1-504) and REACH Unaffected status (versus REACH Affected). The 84WR500KLF also provides superior moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1 - Unlimited versus MSL 2 - 1 Year), indicating enhanced environmental stability.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, compliance requirements for the end application, and environmental exposure conditions during storage and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TT Electronics 84WR500KLF be used as a direct replacement for the Bourns 3269W-1-504?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent, sharing identical resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, resistive material, mounting type, and physical dimensions. Both are classified as Active products.

Q: What is the difference between Gull Wing and Surface Mount termination styles?

A: Both termination styles are compatible with surface mount assembly processes. Gull Wing termination features leads that extend outward from the component body, while Surface Mount termination integrates leads directly into the mounting footprint. For the specified dimensions and mounting type, both styles accommodate standard PCB assembly equipment.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 84WR500KLF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while the 3269W-1-504 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations should specify the 84WR500KLF.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) indicate?

A: MSL rating specifies the maximum time a component can be stored in ambient conditions before soldering. The 84WR500KLF (MSL 1 - Unlimited) has no time restriction, while the 3269W-1-504 (MSL 2 - 1 Year) requires soldering within one year of opening the original packaging.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical rectangular dimensions of 0.250" x 0.170" face (6.35mm x 4.32mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility.
