3386R-1-254LF

A potentiometer, commonly referred to as a trimmer pot, is a three terminal resistor with a sliding contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. When the sliding contact, called the wiper, is moved across the resistor, the resistance between the wiper and each terminal changes, creating a variable voltage divider. Potentiometers can be used to electronically control a wide range of electronic systems, such as volume controls, heat control, pulse width modulation, and lighting controls.

The 3386R-1-254LF is a trimmer potentiometer. It has three pins, a 33 Ohm resistance value, and has a rating of 1 Watt. The 3386R-1-254LF has a total resistance of 256 Ohms, and its resistance tolerance is rated at ± 15%. It has an Rheostat construction, and its element type is a Conductive Plastic.

The 3386R-1-254LF trimmer potentiometer is usually used for voltage divider control, circuit gain or down adjustments, pulse width modulation, and in any other application in which a variable resistance is required. The 3386R-1-254LF is commonly used for volume control and variable resistor applications.

The 3386R-1-254LF trimmer potentiometer works by producing a voltage divider between the three associated terminals. The voltage placed across the three terminals is divided across the 33 Ohm resistance of the 3386R-1-254LF. The voltage across the resistor can be adjusted by moving the wiper across the resistor\'s resistance. This produces a variable voltage divider, allowing for precision control of the resistance in the circuit.

The 3386R-1-254LF trimmer potentiometer is a versatile device that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is typically used for precision control of resistance in a circuit, such as volume control, pulse width modulation, and circuit gain controls. The 3386R-1-254LF works by producing a variable voltage divider between its three terminals, with the voltage across the resistor being changed by adjusting the position of the wiper.
