Application Field

The 3310Y-001-504 is a two-wire variable resistance device, making it suitable for applications requiring minimum wiring and minimal adjustment complexity. It is specifically designed for use as a potentiometer or rheostat, meaning it can be used to adjust the amount of current or voltage passing through an electronic circuit. This can range from adjusting light dimmer levels to controlling the speed of a motor, the volume or tone of a stereo, or the frequency of a radio. Additionally, the device is suitable for use in a range of industrial applications, such as pressure switch controls, adjustable phase controllers, and motor speed controllers.

Working Principle

The 3310Y-001-504 works by changing electrical resistance within an electronic circuit. The device is able to provide precise, adjustable control over the amount of current or voltage that passes through the circuit by changing the resistance of a resistive element. This is accomplished by adjusting a control knob, which can be range from no adjustment (zero resistance) to full resistance (no current or voltage). Additionally, the knob can be used to adjust any resistance within the specified range in order to fine-tune the adjustment. This device is extremely versatile and is ideal for applications that need powerful, precise, and adjustable resistance control.
