Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 364X20K is based on functional equivalence in potentiometer applications. The primary substitute identified is the Bourns 3296X-1-203, which shares critical operational characteristics suitable for replacement scenarios. Substitution logic is determined by the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Adjustment mechanism: Side adjustment capability
• Mounting configuration: Through hole with PC pins
• Resistive element material: Cermet composition
• Adjustment range: 25-turn operation

These parameters define the functional envelope within which equivalent components operate and remain interchangeable for the intended application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Bourns 3296X-1-203 is the identified substitute for the obsolete Honeywell 364X20K. Selection of this alternative is based on:

• Active product status ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Functional equivalence in 20 kOhm resistance and 0.5W power rating
• Through-hole PC pin termination compatible with legacy PCB designs
• Cermet resistive element providing stable performance characteristics

The 3296X-1-203 operates under EAR99 export classification and is RoHS non-compliant, consistent with the legacy nature of potentiometer replacement applications. Designers should verify mechanical fit and electrical performance requirements within their specific application context before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the Honeywell 364X20K obsolete? A: The 364X20K is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. Equivalent active components must be identified for system continuity.

Q: What makes the Bourns 3296X-1-203 a suitable substitute? A: The 3296X-1-203 matches the critical functional parameters: 20 kOhm resistance, 0.5W power rating, through-hole PC pin mounting, and side adjustment capability. These parameters define compatibility for potentiometer replacement applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute? A: The Honeywell 364X20K packaging is not specified in available data. The Bourns 3296X-1-203 is supplied in tube packaging. Physical dimensions of the Bourns component are 0.395" x 0.190" face (10.03mm x 4.83mm) in rectangular configuration.

Q: What is the tolerance specification for the substitute? A: The Bourns 3296X-1-203 carries ±10% tolerance with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, providing stable performance across operating temperature ranges.

Q: Is the substitute RoHS compliant? A: The Bourns 3296X-1-203 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must evaluate alternative solutions or obtain RoHS-compliant variants from the Bourns 3296 series.

Q: What is the adjustment range of the substitute? A: The Bourns 3296X-1-203 provides 25-turn adjustment capability with side adjustment mechanism, enabling precise resistance tuning in circuit applications.
