Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Honeywell 58C1100 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 100 Ohm (exact match required)
• Taper: Linear (functional equivalence)
• Number of turns: 1 (operational equivalence)
• Resistive material: Wirewound (material class equivalence)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Termination style: Solder Lug (connection method equivalence)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount (installation method equivalence)
• Bushing thread: 3/8-32 (mechanical fit equivalence)
• Rotation: 300° (operational range equivalence)
• Number of gangs: 1 (configuration equivalence)

Power Rating Consideration: The substitute part 026TB32R101B1A1 provides 5W power rating, which exceeds the original 4W specification. This represents an upgrade in thermal capability and is acceptable for direct substitution in applications where the original 4W rating was specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CTS Electrocomponents 026TB32R101B1A1 qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete Honeywell 58C1100 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters align: 100 Ohm resistance, linear taper, 1-turn configuration, and wirewound construction. The 5W power rating of the substitute exceeds the original 4W specification, providing enhanced thermal margin without compromising circuit function.

Mechanical Equivalence: Identical mounting configuration, bushing thread size (3/8-32), solder lug termination, and 300° rotation ensure direct mechanical compatibility in existing panel mount installations.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain RoHS and REACH compliance status. The substitute's ROHS3 compliance represents current regulatory alignment. Active production status of the CTS part ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Tolerance Consideration: The substitute exhibits ±20% tolerance compared to the original ±5% tolerance. Applications requiring tighter tolerance control must evaluate this parameter against specific circuit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CTS 026TB32R101B1A1 directly replace the Honeywell 58C1100 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Mechanical mounting, electrical resistance value, taper type, termination style, and rotation specifications are identical. The substitute's higher power rating (5W vs. 4W) is compatible with applications designed for the original 4W component.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference (±5% vs. ±20%)?

A: The original Honeywell part specifies ±5% tolerance, while the CTS substitute specifies ±20%. Applications requiring precise resistance values within ±5% must evaluate whether the wider tolerance of the substitute meets circuit specifications. In many applications, ±20% tolerance is acceptable for potentiometer applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Honeywell 58C1100 has a body diameter of 1.690" (42.93mm) with a 2.000" (50.80mm) actuator length. The CTS 026TB32R101B1A1 has a body diameter of 0.937" (23.80mm) with a 1.000" (25.40mm) actuator length. Both mount identically via the 3/8-32 bushing thread, but panel cutout and actuator clearance must be verified for the smaller CTS component.

Q: Why is the Honeywell 58C1100 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The CTS 026TB32R101B1A1 maintains active production status, ensuring availability for replacement and new applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Honeywell 58C1100 is RoHS Compliant, and the CTS 026TB32R101B1A1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The CTS 026TB32R101B1A1 is supplied in Bulk packaging with 6177 pieces available in stock.
