• Industrial electronics – Trimmer potentiometers are used for controlling and fine tuning industrial equipment. They are used in hydraulic systems, robotics, and industrial production machinery.

Working principle

The 3386P-1-105 trimmer potentiometer works through a process of delicate variation of resistance. The potentiometer is designed to offer precise control of the current or voltage supplied to a given circuit. The potentiometer uses three metal discs – two of which are conductive and one is insulating – which are spaced apart and arranged in a precise way. When a current is applied, electrons flow from the two conductive discs across the insulating disc, which either increases or decreases the current passed through, depending on the position of the knob.

The two conductive discs and the insulating disc are referred to as the slider, the wiper, and the substrate respectively. The wiper is connected to the slider, and when the user turns the knob, it causes the wiper to move across the two conductive discs. As the wiper moves, it either decreases or increases the resistance of the two discs, which in turn affects the current or voltage supplied. This process of finely tuning current is referred to as a \'variable resistor.\'

The 3386P-1-105 trimmer potentiometer is designed to be durable, precise, and reliable. It is constructed with a rugged plastic body and epoxy coated for moisture protection. The potentiometer is also equipped with a locking mechanism, which prevents it from being unintentionally adjusted while being stored or used. This ensures that the potentiometer remains precise and correctly adjusted even after extended periods of use.

Conclusion

The 3386P-1-105 trimmer potentiometer is a precision surface mount variable resistor primarily used to precisely adjust current or voltage in various application fields. It has a wide range of uses in consumer electronics, industrial electronics, medical and test equipment. Its working principle relies on manipulating the resistance of two conductive discs and an insulating disc, allowing for precise fine tuning of the current or voltage.
