3329P-1-472LF

Trimmer Potentiometers have an incredible range of applications and are often found nearly anywhere that requires precise adjustments, including automotive, industrial, computer, audio, and medical equipment. The 3329P-1-472LF is an example of a trimmer potentiometer that is SMT-compatible and designed to be very small and energy-efficient.

The 3329P-1-472LF provides exceptional performance that allows for fine adjustments in low voltage, high power, high precision, and extreme temperatures. It is qualified to the MIL-PRF-55342 and can withstand temperatures of -55 degrees Celsius (-67 degrees Fahrenheit), to 125 degrees Celsius (257 degrees Fahrenheit).

But what is a trimmer potentiometer and how does it work? A trimmer potentiometer is a device for making fine adjustments to values that can vary. It is made up of three terminals, a wiper, and a resistive element. There are two basic types of trimmer potentiometers, rotary and linear.

A rotary trimmer uses a shaft that rotates to adjust the resistance. The 3329P-1-472LF is an example of a rotary trimmer. This type of trimmer uses a single knob to adjust the value of the resistance. It can be used in both low voltage and high voltage circuits.

A linear trimmer potentiometer, on the other hand, uses a slider to adjust the resistance. The slider can move up and down along the resistive element. This type of trimmer is often found in precision circuits, such as audio equipment.

Regardless of which type of trimmer is used, the wiper is the terminal that adjusts the resistance. By adjusting the position of the wiper, the resistance can be increased or decreased. The other two terminals are fixed and do not move when the wiper is adjusted.

The 3329P-1-472LF is a trimmer that is designed for operation over a wide temperature range. In addition, it is designed for minimal temperature coefficient, ensuring that it will accurately adjust a given electrical value even in temperatures ranging from -55 degrees Celsius (-67 degrees Fahrenheit) to 125 degrees Celsius (257 degrees Fahrenheit).

The 3329P-1-472LF also features a unique design that allows it to be mounted in a variety of ways, including soldering, surface mounting, or PCB-mounting. In addition, this trimmer is designed for low power consumption and can operate on as little as 2 milliwatts of power.

Trimmer potentiometers like the 3329P-1-472LF are ideal for applications that require precise adjustments, such as automotive, industrial, computer, audio, and medical equipment. They also have an incredible range of applications, making them versatile and useful in many different ways.
