Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 3362X-1-202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Physical dimensions: Rectangular - 0.275" x 0.260" Face (6.99mm x 6.60mm)
• Series: Trimpot® 3362 - Sealed
• Manufacturer: Bourns Inc.

The 3362X-1-202LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts relates to RoHS compliance status and lead-free termination processing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 3362X-1-202 and 3362X-1-202LF depends on regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to the end application.

The 3362X-1-202 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or where legacy component specifications are required. This part maintains active production status.

The 3362X-1-202LF is the appropriate choice for designs requiring ROHS3 compliance. Both parts are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99. The lead-free termination of the 3362X-1-202LF does not alter electrical performance or mechanical compatibility relative to the 3362X-1-202.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 3362X-1-202 and 3362X-1-202LF electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance across all specified parameters: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating, ±10% tolerance, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

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

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 3362X-1-202LF is ROHS3 compliant with lead-free termination processing, while the 3362X-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH Affected.

Q: Can I use 3362X-1-202LF as a direct replacement for 3362X-1-202 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3362X-1-202LF is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 3362X-1-202. Physical dimensions, mounting type, termination style, and all electrical specifications are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: Specify 3362X-1-202LF for new designs unless legacy component specifications or non-compliance with RoHS regulations is explicitly required. The 3362X-1-202LF offers superior compliance status while maintaining full compatibility.

Q: Are there any soldering or assembly differences between these parts?

A: The 3362X-1-202LF features lead-free termination, which may require adjusted soldering parameters compared to the 3362X-1-202. Consult Bourns Inc. assembly guidelines for specific lead-free soldering recommendations.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both 3362X-1-202 and 3362X-1-202LF are supplied in Tube packaging.
