Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 3292P-1-202

Part Overview

The Bourns 3292P-1-202 is a 2 kOhm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer with PC pin termination and side adjustment. This sealed Trimpot® 3292 series component is designed for applications requiring precision resistive adjustment in compact rectangular form factors. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, compliance requirements, or design standardization across product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The PV36P202C01B00 qualifies as a direct substitute for the 3292P-1-202 based on the following critical parameters:

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

Both components are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain functional equivalence across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Minor dimensional variations exist between the two models, which do not affect electrical performance or standard PCB layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 3292P-1-202 and PV36P202C01B00 are active production components from Bourns Inc. with identical electrical specifications and functional performance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

The PV36P202C01B00 is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 regulatory requirements. The 3292P-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

Dimensional differences between the two models are minor (approximately 0.003" width and 0.047" height variance). PCB layout compatibility should be verified for space-constrained applications, though both components maintain standard through-hole PC pin spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PV36P202C01B00 be used as a direct replacement for 3292P-1-202 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical parameters (2 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 25-turn side adjustment, cermet resistive material, and PC pin termination). Dimensional variations are minor and do not affect standard PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two trimmer potentiometers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The PV36P202C01B00 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 3292P-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant. Both are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and belong to different product series (PV36 versus Trimpot® 3292 - Sealed).

Q: Are there any dimensional constraints I should consider when substituting these parts?

A: The PV36P202C01B00 has a slightly larger face dimension (0.378" x 0.197") compared to the 3292P-1-202 (0.375" x 0.150"). Verify PCB layout clearances in space-constrained applications before substitution.

Q: Do both parts have the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both components are supplied in tube packaging and maintain identical through-hole PC pin termination and side adjustment configuration.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, specify PV36P202C01B00. For applications without RoHS compliance constraints, either part is functionally equivalent.
