Bourns 3366P-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Bourns 3366P-1-202 is a 2 kOhms, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer with PC pin termination and top adjustment. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. The 3366 series represents an earlier generation of Bourns trimmer potentiometers, and active alternatives are available within the Bourns product portfolio.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 3366P-1-202 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The Bourns 3362P-1-202 meets all these criteria and is the manufacturer-recommended substitute. The 3362 series represents the active, current-generation equivalent to the obsolete 3366 series, with identical electrical specifications and compatible mechanical form factors for PC pin through-hole applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3362P-1-202 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 3366P-1-202 based on the following factors:

• Electrical equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient) are identical.
• Mechanical compatibility: Both parts feature PC pin through-hole termination with comparable face dimensions (7.00mm vs. 6.99mm x 6.60mm), suitable for standard PCB layouts designed for the 3366 series.
• Product status: The 3362P-1-202 is active and in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Regulatory compliance: The 3362P-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Design teams must evaluate regulatory requirements for their specific applications and markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3362P-1-202 be used as a direct replacement for the 3366P-1-202?

A: Yes. The 3362P-1-202 meets all electrical specifications of the 3366P-1-202 and is mechanically compatible for PC pin through-hole PCB applications. Minor dimensional differences (face size) are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB layouts.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 3366P-1-202 is obsolete. The 3362P-1-202 is the active, manufacturer-recommended equivalent from Bourns Inc.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The 3366P-1-202 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 3362P-1-202 is supplied in Tube packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement or supply chain team.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the 3362P-1-202?

A: The 3362P-1-202 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Verify compliance requirements for your target markets and applications before design implementation.

Q: Are the face dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: No. The 3366P-1-202 has a square face of 0.276" x 0.276" (7.00mm x 7.00mm), while the 3362P-1-202 has a rectangular face of 0.275" x 0.260" (6.99mm x 6.60mm). Both dimensions are compatible with standard through-hole PCB layouts for trimmer potentiometers.
