Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36P104C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 100 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 25
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Affected

The 3296P-1-104LF meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Minor dimensional variations (face dimensions: 0.375" x 0.190" versus 0.378" x 0.197") remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole PC pin applications and do not affect functional performance or circuit board layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36P104C01B00 and 3296P-1-104LF are active production components manufactured by Bourns Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: The 3296P-1-104LF offers higher inventory (4842 units) compared to the PV36P104C01B00 (902 units)
• Lead time requirements: Substitute selection may be driven by procurement timelines
• Circuit board layout constraints: Verify that the minor dimensional difference (approximately 0.003" and 0.007" variance in face dimensions) accommodates existing PCB footprints

Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard through-hole trimmer potentiometer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296P-1-104LF directly replace the PV36P104C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (100 kOhms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, 25-turn side adjustment) and termination style (PC pins). The minor dimensional variance (approximately 0.003" to 0.007" difference in face dimensions) is within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole applications and does not affect circuit board compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, and carry identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.40.8050).

Q: What is the primary reason to consider substitution?

A: Inventory availability and lead time. The 3296P-1-104LF maintains significantly higher stock levels, making it suitable for applications where procurement speed is critical.

Q: Do these components require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both use PC pin termination and through-hole mounting. The dimensional differences are negligible for standard PCB layout applications. Verify footprint compatibility with your specific board design if space constraints are critical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-precision tuning applications?

A: Yes. Both components feature 25-turn adjustment mechanisms with cermet resistive material, providing equivalent precision and repeatability for tuning applications requiring ±100ppm/°C temperature stability.
