Shares package, resistance, and power rating, but has weaker tolerance and is single-turn.
Bourns 3224W-1-202E is a 2kΩ, 12-turn SMD trimming potentiometer. While no direct drop-in replacements are identified, several functional and parametric alternatives exist, requiring careful review of tolerance, turn count, and mounting type.
Candidates may have wider tolerance or lower adjustment precision (single-turn).
Some alternatives are through-hole or have different adjustment access, requiring board changes.
Alternatives from the same manufacturer are available, but specs differ.
No direct, drop-in replacement for the 3224W-1-202E has been identified. All candidates require engineering review due to differences in precision or mounting type.
No direct drop-in. Evaluate 3314G-1-202E if single-turn precision is acceptable, or redesign for a different part.
Loss of adjustment precision due to candidates being single-turn instead of multi-turn.

| Feature / factor | 3224W-1-202E | 3314G-1-202E | 3314J-1-202E | 3296W-1-202LF | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tolerance | 10% | 20% | 20% | 10% | 20% / 10% — Candidate has wider tolerance.; 3314J-1-202E: Candidate has wider tolerance.; 3296W-1-202LF: matched |
| Number Of Turns | 12 turns | 1 turn | 1 turn | 25 turns | 1 turn / 25 turns — Significant downgrade in adjustment precision.; 3314J-1-202E: Significant downgrade in adjustment precision.; 3296W-1-202LF: Both are multi-turn, precision is comparable or better. |
| Adjustment Style | Top Adjust | Top Adjust | Side Adjust | - | Top Adjust / Side Adjust — matched; 3314J-1-202E: Different adjustment access. |
| Resistance | 2kΩ | 2kΩ | 2kΩ | - | 2kΩ — matched; 3314J-1-202E: matched |
| Package | 4mm Square | 4mm Square | 4mm Square | 3/8" Square | 4mm Square / 3/8" Square — Footprint should be verified from datasheet.; 3314J-1-202E: Package size matches, but termination style (J-lead) differs.; 3296W-1-202LF: Different form factor. |
| Mounting Type | SMD/SMT | - | - | Through Hole | Through Hole — Requires board redesign. |
| Power | 0.25W | - | - | 0.5W | 0.5W — Higher power rating is generally safe. |
There is no single best alternative. For the same footprint, 3314G-1-202E is an option but is single-turn with wider tolerance. For new designs, the through-hole 3296W-1-202LF offers similar specs but requires a different layout.
