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.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates may have wider tolerance or lower adjustment precision (single-turn).

Package riskhigh

Some alternatives are through-hole or have different adjustment access, requiring board changes.

Sourcing risklow

Alternatives from the same manufacturer are available, but specs differ.

Can it be replaced directly?

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.

Best replacement path

No direct drop-in. Evaluate 3314G-1-202E if single-turn precision is acceptable, or redesign for a different part.

Main risk

Loss of adjustment precision due to candidates being single-turn instead of multi-turn.
