3266W-1-104

Trimmer potentiometers, or trimpots, are small precision variable resistors used for setting and adjusting circuits. They are typically used as part of an automatic calibration or adjustment procedure. The 3266W-1-104 is a trimmer potentiometer designed to perform the same functions. This particular model was designed to be a low profile trimmer resistor with a continuous track surface mount.

The 3266W-1-104 is an ideal choice for applications that require adjusting and tuning for precise results such as in audio speakers, test equipment, and medical devices. It can also be used in circuit-building applications for tuning and debugging. The values range from 10Ω to 500KΩ and can handle up to 1W of power.

The 3266W-1-104 is designed to provide improved performance in an SMT format. It has a rugged stainless steel core that ensures accuracy and stability and can tolerate higher temperatures. The contact surface is designed to offer lower resistance than traditional trimmer resistors, ensuring better current flow. The potentiometer also features a sealed track to ensure better performance in dusty and damp environments.

The working principle is relatively simple. A voltage applied to the terminal of the potentiometer will cause a current to flow through it. This current creates a voltage drop across the resistor which varies with the resistance value. A knob or dial is used to adjust the resistance value of the resistor. When the knob is turned, the resistance of the transistor will change accordingly which will affect the overall current and voltage of the circuit.

The 3266W-1-104 trimmer potentiometer is a great choice for applications that require precise adjustment and tuning. With its low profile SMT design, rugged stainless steel core, and sealed track, it can provide years of reliable performance in any environment. It can be used for a wide variety of applications such as audio, test equipment, medical devices, and circuit-building projects.
