Trimmer potentiometers are a type of variable resistor, commonly used to control and calibrate circuits and devices. The 3386B-1-205LF is an example of a trimmer potentiometer, and is useful for applications where space is limited. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the 3386B-1-205LF.

3386B-1-205LF Overview

The 3386B-1-205LF is a surface mount trimmer potentiometer that is 0.205 inches (5.2 millimeters) in diameter. It can handle maximum power ratings of 0.25W and has an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The resistivity range of the 3386B-1-205LF is from 1K ohms to 22K ohms with a basic tolerance of 10%. It features a graphite element for superior electrical, thermal, and mechanical stability.

Application Fields

The 3386B-1-205LF is a versatile device and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is especially useful in high-density mounting applications, where space is limited. Here are some of the common applications for the 3386B-1-205LF:

• TVs and other consumer electronics
• Automotive systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Medical equipment
• Industrial control systems
• Computer peripherals

Working Principle

The 3386B-1-205LF is a contact-type trimmer potentiometer, meaning that it relies on physical contact between two metal surfaces to create electrical resistance and adjust the current’s flow. This is known as the “variable resistance” method of controlling current and is used in a variety of applications.

When the shaft of the 3386B-1-205LF is turned, a carbon brush moves across two metal surfaces. This creates two points of electrical contact which produce a certain amount of resistance. Depending on how much resistance is created, more or less current will flow through the circuit.

The 3386B-1-205LF also features a lock nut which allows the user to lock the shaft in place so that it won’t move and change the setting. This may be useful for applications where it is not necessary or desirable to change the setting.

Conclusion

The 3386B-1-205LF is a versatile, space saving trimmer potentiometer. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, has a wide resistivity range, and a locking feature. This article has discussed the 3386B-1-205LF\'s application fields and working principle.
