Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PV36P503C01B00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 50 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% or better
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or better
• Number of turns: 25 (exact match required)
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment (exact match required)
• Resistive material: Cermet (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination style: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance required

The 3296P-1-503LF meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PV36P503C01B00 and 3296P-1-503LF are Active products manufactured by Bourns Inc. with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts may be based on availability and inventory levels. The PV36P503C01B00 has 805 units in stock, while the 3296P-1-503LF has 1500 units available. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications and mechanical requirements for through-hole PC pin trimmer potentiometer applications. Face dimensions are within acceptable manufacturing tolerances for equivalent form factor compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3296P-1-503LF replace the PV36P503C01B00 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are 50 kOhms, 0.5W, 25-turn cermet trimmer potentiometers with side adjustment and PC pin termination. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Face dimensions differ slightly (PV36P503C01B00: 9.60mm x 5.00mm; 3296P-1-503LF: 9.53mm x 4.83mm). These variations are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility for through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting identical environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this product category?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of resistance value, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, resistive material, mounting type, termination style, and regulatory compliance status.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?

A: The 3296P-1-503LF offers higher inventory availability (1500 units) compared to the PV36P503C01B00 (805 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.
