3082P-1-104

Trimmer Potentiometers are a kind of adjustable electrical components that are used to control the flow of electrical current in a circuit. The primary purpose of these components is to adjust the resistance of a circuit, which in turn affects the power output, signal strength or range of a system. The 3082P-1-104 is a trimmer potentiometer made by Alpha Electronics, and it can be used for a variety of applications.

The 3082P-1-104 is a through-hole mounted component, meaning that it is soldered into a circuit board from the top of a board. This trimmer has a flat bottom that is rotated using a slotted screw, allowing for manual adjustment of the component. It has an electrical resistance range of 0-2K Ohms, which makes it useful for a variety of applications. It has a maximum power rating of UK 500mW (0.5 watts) and a base frequency of 75 kHz.

The primary application for the 3082P-1-104 is in signal conditioning applications, such as in audio or video systems. By adjusting the resistance of the component, the user is able to control the frequency or voltage response of the circuit, adjusting or “trimming” the output of the signal to best suit the desired purpose. These components are also used in various motor control applications, such as linear actuators, to adjust the speed of movement. These potentiometers can also be used for voltage dividers and for temperature compensation.

The 3082P-1-104 trimmer potentiometer also has a wide range of working principles, depending on how it is arranged in a circuit. In most cases, the component acts as a variable resistor, meaning that its resistance can be adjusted manually to control the circuit’s output. By increasing or decreasing the applied voltage, the resistance of the component is changed, causing the output of the circuit to vary accordingly. This type of device can also be used as a voltage divider, where the output voltage is determined by the ratio of the resistances of the two components in series.

The 3082P-1-104 trimmer potentiometer is a versatile device that can be used for a variety of applications. Its ability to control the resistance of a circuit, along with its wide range of working principles, makes it a valuable tool for electrical engineers. However, it is important to be aware of its maximum power and frequency ratings, as these will affect the performance of the component. Furthermore, the component should be handled with care, as any physical damage may affect its ability to accurately control a circuit.
