3266Z-1-101R

Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer, more commonly known as a trimpot, is a miniaturized variable resistor that is attached to the outside of a printed circuit board (PCB). It is a three-terminal variable resistor that is used for calibrating, adjusting, or modifying a circuit. Trimmer potentiometers can be viewed as a specialized subset of adjustable resistors, with three terminals to allow a series of resistors to be connected in the same unit.

3266Z-1-101R application field and working principle

The 3266Z-1-101R is a single-turn, trimmer potentiometer from Bourns. This trimpot features a robust design with excellent electrical and mechanical stability. It has a maximum power rating of 0.25W and can handle a maximum voltage of 30V. The 3266Z-1-101R is designed for use in various electronic devices, including audio amplifiers, television receivers, amplifiers, radio scanners, digital controllers, and motor controllers.

The 3266Z-1-101R trimpot features a linear taper which provides a linear response to the applied voltage or current. The potentiometer can be adjusted by turning the shaft, which varies the resistance between two of its three terminals. This trimpot also features a center detent design which helps to ensure stable and consistent parameter settings. The shaft has an O-ring seal that protects the potentiometer from dust and moisture.

The 3266Z-1-101R trimmer potentiometer is designed for low-voltage and low-power use. The maximum current rating for the 3266Z-1-101R is 0.25A and the maximum voltage rating is 30V.
