Trimmer potentiometers have been found to be an effective solution in such applications as voltage divider circuits, DC voltage regulation, current limiting, AC waveform analysis, pulse generators, voltage and current stabilization, detectors and logic circuits, audio amplifiers, RF stages, DC amplifiers and more. The 3314G-1-254E trimmer potentiometer is also suitable for assembly into a vast array of mechanical packages and is particularly useful for use in test and development applications.

Working Principle

The 3314G-1-254E trimmer potentiometer functions by providing an adjustable voltage divider with resistive elements in a small form factor, enabling precise adjustment of voltage values with a simple turn knob. This is achieved by having a wiper, or pad, mounted above two resistive elements which are connected to both a positive and a negative power source. By turning the knob, the wiper may move along the resistive elements and provide an adjustable resistor value.

This trimmer is also well-suited for use in DC voltage regulation, current limiting, or AC waveform analysis as it offers a good accuracy and temperature stability, which is important for such sensitive circuits. It is also commonly used as an adjustable low-value resistor for use in more general-purpose applications.

As a single-turn type, the 3314G-1-254E offers a more stable path of adjustment than other types of trimmers. Instead of having to adjust separate resistive elements, the single-turn movement of the adjustment knob allows for a more fine-tuned and precise changing of resistor value.
