BOURNS 3006 Series Multi-Turn Cermet Trimmer Potentiometer, 100Ω, 15 Turn

The BOURNS 3006 Series is a range of high-performance, multi-turn cermet trimming potentiometers designed for precise circuit adjustment in electronic equipment. These through-hole mounted components are engineered for reliability across a wide range of applications, from industrial controls to precision measurement devices.

Featuring a side adjustment mechanism with a lead screw, this trimmer allows for accurate and stable setting of resistance values. It is sealed to an IP65 rating, providing excellent protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for use in challenging environments.

With a generous 15-turn rotational capability and a mechanical life of 200 cycles, it offers fine resolution and dependable long-term operation. The cermet resistive element ensures stable performance, with a resistance range spanning from 10Ω to 5MΩ and a standard tolerance of ±10%.

Key Performance Specifications

• Power Rating: 0.75W (750mW) for reliable operation under load.
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C for minimal resistance drift with temperature changes.
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +125°C, ensuring functionality in extreme conditions.
• Low Profile Design: Stands just 1/4 inch (approx. 6.35mm) high on the PCB, conserving valuable board space.

Its 3/4 inch rectangular form factor is a standard in the industry, facilitating easy integration into existing designs. This Bourns trimmer is an essential component for engineers requiring precise calibration, signal conditioning, or voltage division in production equipment, test and measurement setups, and various electronic control systems.
