Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 3292X-1-202 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must match the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 2 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
• Physical dimensions: Rectangular - 0.375" x 0.150" Face (9.53mm x 3.81mm)
• Series: Trimpot® 3292 - Sealed

The 3292X-1-202LF meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3292X-1-202LF is a direct functional and mechanical equivalent to the 3292X-1-202. Both parts are active products from Bourns Inc. and share identical electrical specifications and physical form factors.

The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status. The 3292X-1-202LF carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the 3292X-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and procurement requirements specific to the application and end-use market. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 3292X-1-202 and 3292X-1-202LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance values (2 kOhms), power ratings (0.5W), tolerance (±10%), temperature coefficients (±100ppm/°C), and adjustment characteristics (25-turn side adjustment). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 3292X-1-202LF is ROHS3 compliant, while the 3292X-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications, including physical dimensions, termination style, and packaging, are identical.

Q: Can I use the 3292X-1-202LF as a drop-in replacement for the 3292X-1-202?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The parts are identical in form factor, pin configuration, and performance characteristics. Verify that your application and regulatory requirements support the RoHS compliance status of the substitute part.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: Yes. Both the 3292X-1-202 and 3292X-1-202LF are supplied in tube packaging.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in 3292X-1-202LF indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix typically indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance in Bourns part numbering conventions. This designation reflects the ROHS3 compliant status of the 3292X-1-202LF.
