Bourns 3292P-1-104 Trimmer Potentiometer: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 3292P-1-104 is a 100 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer with PC pin termination and side adjustment capability. This sealed Trimpot® 3292 series component is currently active in production with 940 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or compliance requirements in specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3292P-1-104 is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 25
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins

The PV36P104C01B00 meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Physical dimensions vary slightly between the 3292P series (0.375" x 0.150" face) and PV36 series (0.378" x 0.197" face), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility during implementation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3292P-1-104 and PV36P104C01B00 are active production components from Bourns Inc. with identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

3292P-1-104 (Trimpot® 3292 Series): Use when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and the compact face dimension (0.375" x 0.150") fits PCB layout constraints.

PV36P104C01B00 (PV36 Series): Use when ROHS3 compliance is required. The slightly larger face dimension (0.378" x 0.197") must be verified against PCB layout specifications before implementation.

Both parts carry REACH Affected status and EAR99 ECCN classification. Moisture sensitivity is not applicable to either component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PV36P104C01B00 directly replace the 3292P-1-104 on existing PCBs?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Physical compatibility requires verification of the PCB footprint. The PV36 series has a larger face dimension (0.378" x 0.197" versus 0.375" x 0.150"), which may affect mounting clearance and adjacent component spacing.

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

A: Resistance (100 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), number of turns (25), adjustment type (side adjustment), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pins) must all match.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material composition but does not alter electrical characteristics. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the 3292P-1-104 and PV36P104C01B00 are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What is the tolerance range for the 100 kOhms resistance value?

A: With ±10% tolerance, the resistance range is 90 kOhms to 110 kOhms at 25°C.
