3386R-1-100

The 3386R-1-100 is a trimmer potentiometer which is marketed by Bourns, Inc. It is a single-turn, through-hole trimmer that has a resistance range of 100 ohms to 10k ohms. This trimmer is a cost-effective, reliable solution for applications requiring adjustment of parameters such as gain, attenuation, impedance, calibration, and adjustment.

Trimmer potentiometers are electronic components that act as adjustable resistors that can be used to set or adjust the value of a variable parameter in a circuit. They are often found in commercial applications such as radio transmitters, antennas, receivers, and recording devices. Trimmer potentiometers are designed to be adjustable over a range of resistance values, usually from a few hundred ohms to several thousand ohms. The 3386R-1-100 trimmer is a through-hole device that is relatively simple to assemble or install, and offers excellent accuracy and long-term stability.

The 3386R-1-100 has a compact, robust design that makes it a suitable choice for applications where space is limited, or in harsh or noisy environments. The trimmer potentiometer includes a metal sleeve that prevents mechanical shock and vibration from affecting its accuracy. Additionally, the trimmer is equipped with a rotary adjustment knob that can be used to precisely adjust the value of the resistance.

The 3386R-1-100 trimmer potentiometer operates using a simple electrical principle. Two electrodes are placed at opposite ends of the resistance element and a voltage is applied across them. The flow of current through the resistance element creates a voltage drop which reduces the voltage supplied to the circuit. The amount of voltage drop is determined by the value of the resistance. By adjusting the wiper on the trimmer, the user can adjust the value of the resistance, and thus, the voltage drop, for the desired effect.

In conclusion, the 3386R-1-100 trimmer potentiometer is a highly reliable and cost-effective solution for applications such as gain, attenuation, impedance, calibration, and adjustment. It is a through-hole device that offers excellent accuracy and long-term stability. Additionally, the 3386R-1-100 is equipped with a rotary adjustment knob, allowing the user to precisely adjust the value of the resistance.
