BOURNS 3296 series 2kΩ multi-turn cermet trimmer potentiometer. IP65 sealed, 25 turns, for precise circuit calibration.
The BOURNS 3296 Series Cermet Trimmer Potentiometer is a precision, multi-turn through-hole component designed for fine circuit adjustments in a wide array of electronic equipment. Its cermet element provides stable and reliable performance, making it a go-to choice for engineers and technicians requiring accurate calibration.
This trimmer offers 25 turns for highly precise adjustment, with a rotational life of 200 cycles ensuring long-term reliability. The device features a robust IP65-rated seal, offering protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, which is ideal for applications where environmental factors are a concern. Its 3/8 inch square footprint allows for efficient use of board space, and it is available with side or top adjustment via a lead screw for flexible installation.
With a wide resistance range spanning from 10 ohms to 2 megaohms (this specific model is 2kΩ), and a standard ±10% tolerance, it suits diverse circuit requirements. It operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, with a low temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C for minimal resistance drift. The 0.5W power rating and five terminal styles with a chevron seal design further enhance its versatility and durability in demanding settings.
Typical Applications
This potentiometer is commonly used for measuring linear distance, angle, or rotation within production equipment. It is perfect for calibration and tuning tasks in power supplies, instrumentation, communication devices, and industrial controls where precise voltage division or signal setting is critical.
