3224G-1-200E

Trimmer Potentiometers

A Trimmer Potentiometer is a type of variable resistor which is used to adjust, tune, or calibrate electronic circuits. It is a three-terminal variable resistor, usually with fixed legs and a rotating or sliding logarithmic resistance element. The 3224G-1-200E is a Trimmer Potentiometer which has a wide range of applications and capabilities.

Application Field

The 3224G-1-200E is a small, precision-type Trimmer Potentiometer designed for space-limited applications and stringent circuit requirements. Its miniature size means it is ideally suited for use in unique electronic designs and in very tight spaces. It has a wide range of applications in control, monitoring and calibration circuits. Its simple construction and reliability make it well-suited for a multitude of tasks, including adjusting alarms, controlling motor speed, calibrating circuits, adjusting circuit parameters, and many other industrial or electronic applications.

Working Principle

When the Trimmer Potentiometer is in use, an electrical current is passed through its three terminals, as shown in the diagram below. The first terminal is the common terminal, and is labelled as the "C" or "COM" terminal. This terminal is the common ground where current enters and exits the device. The second and third terminals are labelled as "left end" and "right end" terminals. The left end terminal is connected to the common terminal, and the right end terminal is connected to the ground. The resistance between the left and right end terminals is adjustable by turning the rotary shaft or sliding the slider. This regulates the current passed through the terminals and thus controls the output of the device.

The 3224G-1-200E is a Trimmer Potentiometer built to a high standard, and is designed for use in rigorous industrial and electronic applications. It is a well-respected product from a well-known manufacturer, and is used across many fields where precise control is required. Its small size, light weight, and precision construction make it ideal for use in tight spaces and on complex, sophisticated electronic designs.
