Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3296Z-1-102 are qualified based on matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 1 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 25-turn adjustment, side adjustment type, cermet resistive material, through-hole mounting, and PC pin termination.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent (RoHS3 Compliant Variant): The 3296Z-1-102LF maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions as the main part while providing ROHS3 compliance status.

Series Alternatives (Bourns Trimmer Portfolio): The 3299Z-1-102LF and PV36X102C01B00 provide equivalent electrical performance and adjustment characteristics within alternative Bourns sealed trimmer series. These parts differ in physical dimensions and series designation but maintain all critical functional parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Select 3296Z-1-102LF as the direct replacement. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and series designation while providing ROHS3 compliance status. All other parameters remain unchanged from the main part.

For Alternative Series Selection: The 3299Z-1-102LF and PV36X102C01B00 are suitable substitutes when design constraints permit series variation. Both alternatives provide ROHS3 compliance and maintain all critical electrical parameters. Physical dimension differences must be evaluated against PCB layout and mechanical mounting constraints.

For Inventory or Supply Chain Optimization: All substitute parts are active products with current production status and available inventory. Selection should be based on compliance requirements, physical space constraints, and series preference within the Bourns trimmer potentiometer portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296Z-1-102LF be used as a direct replacement for the 3296Z-1-102?

A: Yes. The 3296Z-1-102LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 3296Z-1-102, with the primary difference being ROHS3 compliance status. Physical dimensions and all functional parameters are unchanged.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between substitute parts?

A: The 3296Z-1-102 and 3296Z-1-102LF share identical face dimensions of 0.395" x 0.190" (10.03mm x 4.83mm). The 3299Z-1-102LF has a larger face dimension of 0.395" x 0.240" (10.03mm x 6.10mm). The PV36X102C01B00 has dimensions of 0.394" x 0.197" (10.00mm x 5.00mm). PCB layout compatibility must be verified before selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts sealed trimmer potentiometers?

A: Yes. The 3296Z-1-102LF and 3299Z-1-102LF are sealed Trimpot® series components. The PV36X102C01B00 is part of the sealed PV36 series. All parts provide sealed construction.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same adjustment mechanism?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature side adjustment with 25-turn capability, matching the main part specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The 3296Z-1-102 is RoHS non-compliant. The 3296Z-1-102LF, 3299Z-1-102LF, and PV36X102C01B00 are all ROHS3 compliant. All parts are REACH affected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.
