3250W-1-102

Trimmer Potentiometers, or trimpots for short, are widely used in the electrical and electronic industry. They are small, slim and easy to install. The 3250W-1-102 model is a single-turn type trimpot that is designed for applications requiring tight control over the position of the setpoint. It uses a ceramic wiper to eliminate contact noise.

The main application of the 3250W-1-102 trimpot is in precision current or voltage control. It is used to adjust current or voltage setpoints that must be held within very tight tolerance ranges. It is also used to adjust the gain or frequency of power supplies, as well as for precise voltage division.

The working principle of the 3250W-1-102 trimpot is fairly simple. It consists of three main components - a metal casing, a wiper, and a resistive element. The resistive element is in the form a tapered resistor, with the wiper positioned at one end. The wiper is attached to a knob or dial, so when the knob is rotated, the wiper moves along the resistive element, changing the resistance value. This in turn changes the current or voltage setpoint, depending on how the trimpot is wired in the circuit.

In addition to current and voltage control applications, the 3250W-1-102 trimpot can also be used in applications that require adjustable timing. For example, when used in conjunction with an oscillator circuit, the 3250W-1-102 trimpot can be used to adjust the frequency of the oscillations. It can also be used to adjust phase shift, pulse width, and other timing parameters.

The 3250W-1-102 trimpot is an excellent choice for precision electical and electronic applications that require precise, reliable, and tight control over the position of a setpoint. Its small size and slim design make it perfect for use in limited space applications, and its ceramic wiper helps to minimize contact noise.
