3362U-1-504R

Trimmer potentiometers are small, adjustment potentiometers that are used in a range of electronic devices to fine tune the electronic component\'s functionality. The 3362U-1-504R trimmer potentiometer is a single-turn precision trimmer perfect for fine-tuning applications.

Application Field

The 3362U-1-504R is a 25-turn trimmer potentiometer with a resistance range between 500 and 5KΩ, a power rating of 0.5W and a tolerance of ±10%. This makes it ideal for use in audio-visual, communications, instrumentation, white goods, home appliances, vehicle electronics and other electronics applications requiring a precise, accurate and reliable adjustment.

The 3362U-1-504R is designed to provide fine adjustment, which is essential in some applications. The trimmer can be used to adjust the gain of an amplifier, the frequency of an oscillator, the brightness of a LED or the sensitivity of a sensor. Its low profile makes it particularly suitable for use on high density PCBs.

Working Principle

The 3362U-1-504R trimmer potentiometer operates on the same principles as any other potentiometer, with a resistive element connected to two fixed contacts and one moveable contact. Turning the shaft, or actuator, of the trimmer moves the wiper across the resistive element, varying the resistance between the ends of the potentiometer. The 3362U-1-504R is a single-turn trimmer, meaning the resistance can only be adjusted by turning the actuator in a complete circle.

The 3362U-1-504R trimmer is designed to provide precise and reliable adjustment. The resistor element is made of high-quality material and the contacts are formed from a corrosion-resistant, low-coercive material. The actuator is designed to ensure smooth operation with minimal electrical noise and consistent torque over a large number of cycles.

The 3362U-1-504R trimmer is a robust and reliable component that provides precise adjustment. With its low profile and wide resistance range, it is suitable for a range of applications requiring precise control for fine-tuning electronic circuits. The trimmer can be used to adjust the gain of an amplifier or the frequency of an oscillator, making it an ideal choice for precision applications.
