Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36P500C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 50 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Number of turns: 25
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 and REACH

The substitute part 3296P-1-500LF meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution. Both parts are manufactured by Bourns Inc. and maintain identical functional specifications within the allowed parameter ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36P500C01B00 and 3296P-1-500LF are Active products with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. The 3296P-1-500LF is designated as part of the Trimpot® 3296 Sealed series and offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±100ppm/°C versus ±150ppm/°C). Dimensional variations between the two parts are minimal and fall within standard manufacturing tolerances for this component category. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and application-specific temperature stability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296P-1-500LF directly replace the PV36P500C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (50 Ohms, 0.5W, ±10% tolerance, 25-turn cermet side-adjustment), mounting type (through-hole PC pins), and regulatory compliance status. Dimensional differences are within standard tolerances for this component class.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts?

A: The PV36P500C01B00 has a temperature coefficient of ±150ppm/°C, while the 3296P-1-500LF has ±100ppm/°C. The 3296P-1-500LF provides superior temperature stability for applications requiring tighter performance across operating temperature ranges.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both parts are supplied in Tube packaging and are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: The PV36P500C01B00 measures 0.378" x 0.197" (9.60mm x 5.00mm), while the 3296P-1-500LF measures 0.375" x 0.190" (9.53mm x 4.83mm). These minor variations do not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard through-hole applications.
