BOURNS
Electrically identical trimmer in the same 4mm package, but with a side-adjust screw instead of top-adjust.
The Bourns 3314G-1-502E is a popular 5kΩ SMD trimming potentiometer. Finding a direct drop-in replacement requires matching the 4mm square package, top-adjustment style, and key electrical parameters.
Candidates have different adjustment styles or are through-hole, requiring layout changes or verification.
Electrical parameters of suggested alternatives match or exceed the target's specifications.
No direct, drop-in replacement is confirmed. The closest options have mechanical differences in adjustment style or package type.
For existing PCBs, the 3314J-1-502E is the closest option if side-access is possible. For new designs, consider the higher-spec 3362P-1-502LF.
Mechanical incompatibility due to different adjustment styles or package types.

| Feature / factor | 3314G-1-502E | 3314J-1-502E | 3362P-1-502LF | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resistance | 5 kΩ | 5 kΩ | 5 kΩ | 5 kΩ — Resistance matches target.; 3362P-1-502LF: Resistance matches target. | |
| Power | 0.25 W | 0.25 W | 0.5 W | 0.25 W / 0.5 W — Power rating matches target.; 3362P-1-502LF: Higher power rating is a safe upgrade. | |
| Tolerance | ±20% | ±20% | ±10% | ±20% / ±10% — Tolerance matches target.; 3362P-1-502LF: Tighter tolerance is an upgrade. | |
| Package | 4 mm Square, Top Adjust | 4mm Square, Side Adjust | 1/4 inch Square, THT | 4mm Square, Side Adjust / 1/4 inch Square, THT — Footprint matches, but adjustment is side vs. top.; 3362P-1-502LF: Through-hole package requires PCB redesign. |
The Bourns 3314J-1-502E is electrically identical but has a side-adjustment screw. For applications not requiring a direct physical match, the 3362P-1-502LF offers better performance in a through-hole package.
