In this article, the application field and working principle of 3309W-1-205 will be discussed.

Applications

The 3309W-1-205’s applications mainly include gadgets, consumer products, and robotics, enabling engineers to make convenient and precise adjustments.These resistors can be used in a wide range of settings including sensor adjustment, DC motor speed control, LED brightness control, motor control, temperature calibration, calibration of pressure-sensing devices, and amplifier gain adjustment. In addition, it is suitable for being applied in tuning applications.

Working Principle & Construction

The 3309W-1-205 consists of a resistive element enclosed in a sealed package. This device generally has three taps, a midpoint element, and a top and bottom element. The midpoint element further contains a mechanical arm which acts as a slider that can be moved along the resistive element. The mechanical arm is usually equipped with a handle or knob and is connected to the midpoint tap.

The top and bottom elements are connected to the other two taps of the resistive element. Then two contacts are connected to the slider or handle of the mechanical arm. When the slider is moved along the resistive element, the resistance between the two taps changes. Due to this change in resistance, the voltage drop across that particular linear path of the resistive element also changes.

Thus, in operation, the 3309W-1-205 trimmer potentiometer changes the resistance value between two of its three connections when the handle of the slider is moved. This produces an output voltage proportional to the slider’s position, which can be used for various control applications.
