3352P-1-105

Thumbwheel Potentiometers are a type of rotating potentiometer, often used as digital operators, for inputting settings or data to an electrical or electronic system. The 3352P-1-105 is a variation of the thumbwheel potentiometer, and is primarily used as a manual mechanism for adjusting settings or volume on audio and visual equipment.

Application Field of 3352P-1-105

The 3352P-1-105 thumbwheel potentiometer is considered to be an ideal control knob for stereos, amplifiers, LCD and LED displays, volume control systems, professional audio and PA systems, and other low-voltage applications. It has a two-part construction, with a cast aluminum body and a metal-clad wheel with numbers or markers printed on it.

For maximum accuracy, the 3352P-1-105 has a minimum resistance value of 10-100 ohms. With a stop with locking nut, the device is designed to provide the user with an accurate and reliable method of controlling settings in low-voltage electronic systems. The wheel offers control of the electrical signals delivered through the device. Additionally, this potentiometer is designed with anti-interference properties and a stable resistance value.

Working Principle of 3352P-1-105

The 3352P-1-105 thumbwheel potentiometer works on the principle of a variable resistor. It uses two electrical contacts, one connected to ground, and the other connected to the output circuit. When the wheel of the potentiometer is rotated, the resistance of the device changes as no two points in the circuit are in the same state.

The movement of the wheel creates a variable voltage potential when used with a power source. This results in a voltage drop across the resistor. As the wheel turns, the voltage output of the device changes. Depending on the design, this voltage output can be controlled to adjust a range of settings such as tone, volume, brightness, and other variables.

Additionally, the 3352P-1-105 can be used with various power sources such as batteries and AC/DC power supplies. It is designed to withstand extreme temperatures such as shock and vibration and offers excellent stability for applications which require both durability and accuracy.

The 3352P-1-105 thumbwheel potentiometer offers a broad range of reliable electrical control solutions for low-voltage, electronic applications. Its rugged construction and precise resistance value makes it ideal for uses which require reliable and accurate adjustable settings in extreme conditions.
