TE Connectivity 416MA502P Trimmer Potentiometer Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 416MA502P is a 5 kOhm, 0.2W through-hole trimmer potentiometer with cermet resistive material, top adjustment, and PC pin termination. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility to ensure direct replacement capability in existing circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 416MA502P are qualified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic requires matching of resistance value (5 kOhms), power rating (0.2W), tolerance (±25%), temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C), number of turns (1), adjustment type (top adjustment), resistive material (cermet), mounting type (through hole), termination style (PC pins), and physical dimensions (0.319" x 0.268" face).

The Bourns Trimpot® 3306 series parts 3306F-1-502 and 3306P-1-502 satisfy all substitution criteria. Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status, providing long-term availability advantages over the obsolete 416MA502P. Compliance certifications including ROHS3 and EAR99 classification are maintained across all qualified substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Bourns Trimpot® 3306 series substitutes (3306F-1-502 and 3306P-1-502) provide direct functional equivalence to the obsolete TE Connectivity 416MA502P. Selection between the two Bourns alternatives is determined by packaging and inventory requirements rather than electrical or mechanical differences.

The 3306F-1-502 maintains higher inventory availability (7,858 pieces) compared to the 3306P-1-502 (3,686 pieces), supporting applications with extended production runs or supply chain continuity requirements. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance certification and EAR99 export classification, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system maintenance.

The transition from the obsolete 416MA502P to either active Bourns substitute eliminates long-term supply risk while maintaining complete electrical and mechanical compatibility. No circuit redesign or PCB layout modification is required for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3306F-1-502 and 3306P-1-502 be used interchangeably with the 416MA502P?

A: Yes. Both Bourns parts are direct functional equivalents. All critical parameters including resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, adjustment type, resistive material, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions are identical to the 416MA502P.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 3306F-1-502 and 3306P-1-502?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference lies in the base product number designation (3306F versus 3306P), which reflects internal Bourns product line categorization. Both are packaged in bulk and carry identical specifications.

Q: Why is the 416MA502P classified as obsolete?

A: The 416MA502P is an obsolete product from TE Connectivity's 416 series. Active alternatives from Bourns ensure continued availability and supply chain stability for applications requiring 5 kOhm, 0.2W through-hole trimmer potentiometers with cermet construction.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Regulatory requirements are satisfied identically across the main part and both substitutes.

Q: Will substitution require PCB layout changes?

A: No. The 3306F-1-502 and 3306P-1-502 maintain identical physical dimensions (0.319" x 0.268" face) and PC pin termination style. Direct board-level substitution is supported without layout modification.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either the 3306F-1-502 or 3306P-1-502 is suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on inventory availability or existing supplier relationships. Both parts are active products with long-term manufacturing support from Bourns.
