3386M-1-105LF

The 3386M-1-105LF is one of the trimmer potentiometers, commonly referred to as trimmers. Trimmer potentiometers are adjustable resistors with a knob or slider that allows the user to variably control the amount of resistance between two terminals. They are commonly used in electronic circuits to adjust offset voltages, provide gain control, and adjust the power supply level of devices.

The 3386M-1-105LF is a 3386S style trimmer that is precision-engineered of cermet material, or ceramic-metal. This material provides improved long-term stability and reliability within various temperature and humidity ranges. The 3386M-1-105LF has a 10-turn element, which is designed for precision adjustment, and a total resistance range of 10-50 ohms.

The 3386M-1-105LF is popular in a wide range of applications, including audio amplifiers, automated production lines, and medical instrumentation. Its low profile design allows for easy integration into various types of chassis, and the 10-turn element gives users precise control. In audio amplifiers, the trimmer is often used to adjust gain levels and to eliminate frequency interference; while in medical instrumentation, it is used to adjust the voltage in sophisticated and sensitive diagnostic equipment.

The basic working principle of a trimmer potentiometer is simple. When the user turns the knob or slider on the resistor, it produces a varying resistance between two terminals. This creates a signal difference between the two terminals which can be used to adjust the output of electronic signals and electrical currents in a circuit. One of the wires of the trimmer is connected to the voltage, while the other wire acts as an output wire. Adjusting the knob or slider varies the resistance between the two terminals and thus, changes the output signal.

The 3386M-1-105LF is one of the most reliable and feature-rich trimmer potentiometers available on the market. Due to its precision-engineered construction and highly adjustable elements, it is ideal for adjusting complex signals and providing reliable long-term stability. The trimmer is cost-effective, easy to use, and accurately allows users to adjust various electronic signals and electrical currents with just a turn of the knob.
