Honeywell 364Y5K Potentiometer - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions 364Y5K is a potentiometer sensor classified as obsolete. As an obsolete component, sourcing original units presents significant supply chain challenges. Identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for maintaining system compatibility in applications where this component was originally specified. Substitute parts must match the core electrical and mechanical parameters that define the functional requirements of the original design.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 3296Y-1-502 (Bourns Inc. Trimpot® 3296 series) is identified as a functional equivalent based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 5 kOhms (primary electrical specification)
• Power Rating: 0.5W (1/2W) - electrical performance envelope
• Mounting Type: Through Hole - mechanical compatibility
• Termination Style: PC Pins - circuit board interface compatibility
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable (equivalent to MSL 1 for sealed designs)

These parameters define the core substitution criteria. The 3296Y-1-502 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with applications originally designed for the 364Y5K.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3296Y-1-502 is available as an active product from Bourns Inc., providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring the 364Y5K. The substitute maintains core electrical specifications (5 kOhms resistance, 0.5W power rating) and mechanical compatibility (through-hole PC pin termination).

Compliance considerations: The 3296Y-1-502 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements must evaluate whether this substitute meets applicable compliance mandates. The ECCN classification differs (EAR99 vs. Obsolete), which may affect export or procurement procedures depending on end-use jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 3296Y-1-502 a suitable substitute for the 364Y5K?

A: Both components share the same resistance value (5 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), and mechanical interface (through-hole PC pins). These parameters define functional compatibility in potentiometer applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute?

A: Yes. The 3296Y-1-502 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, whereas the original 364Y5K status is not specified. Organizations with RoHS or REACH compliance requirements must verify whether this substitute meets their regulatory obligations.

Q: Does the packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 3296Y-1-502 is supplied in Tube packaging. Packaging specifications for the original 364Y5K are not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Q: What is the ECCN classification impact?

A: The 3296Y-1-502 carries ECCN EAR99 classification. This may affect export licensing or procurement procedures. Consult your compliance or procurement department if international shipment or restricted-end-use applications apply.

Q: Can I directly replace the 364Y5K with the 3296Y-1-502 on my circuit board?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through matching resistance, power rating, and PC pin termination. Physical dimensions and adjustment mechanism (top adjustment on the substitute) should be verified against your PCB layout and mechanical assembly requirements.
