Trimpot 500K (ohm) Variable Resistor [504] (500 k) (3296 Package) - Trimmer

Trimpot 500K Ohm Variable Resistor (3296 Package)

A Trimpot, also known as a Trimmer, is a variable resistor. This 500K Ohm model provides adjustable resistance. It features a PCB-mountable design with three terminal pins in a 3296 package. Rotation of the trimpot adjusts resistance and voltage output between terminals. This allows for precise tuning of electronic circuits. The cermet element offers a resistance tolerance of ±5%. Operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C. It is suitable for calibrating circuits and setting operating points.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the lead pitch for this 3296 package Trimpot?
A: The 3296 package typically features a standard 2.54mm (0.1 inch) lead pitch for through-hole mounting.

Q: Can this Trimpot be used in surface-mount applications?
A: No, this Trimpot is designed for through-hole PCB mounting due to its 3296 package and pin configuration.

Q: What is the maximum voltage rating for this 500K Ohm Trimpot?
A: The maximum voltage rating for 3296 series trimpots is typically 300VDC or 200VAC RMS. Refer to the manufacturer's full datasheet for specific limits.

Q: Is there a specific orientation required for mounting this Trimpot?
A: While electrical function is not orientation-dependent, ensure the adjustment screw is accessible for tuning after PCB mounting.
