Bourns 3266 Series Cermet Multi-Turn Trimmer Potentiometer 100KΩ

The Bourns 3266 Series is a family of high-quality, cermet, through-hole trimming potentiometers designed for precise multi-turn circuit adjustments in a wide range of electronic equipment. These robust components are ideal for applications requiring fine-tuning of resistance values, such as calibrating measuring instruments for linear distance, angle, or rotation in industrial production equipment.

Constructed with a durable cermet resistive element, this trimmer potentiometer offers excellent stability and a long operational life. It features a side-adjustment design with a lead screw for controlled, incremental changes. The unit is housed in a compact, 1/4-inch square profile with integrated standoffs, which elevate it from the printed circuit board (PCB) to allow for thorough cleaning after the soldering process.

This model is rated for an impressive 12 turns, providing a high degree of adjustment resolution, and boasts a rotational life of 200 cycles. It is sealed to an IP65 rating, offering protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for use in environments where contamination is a concern. The trimmer operates reliably across a broad temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.
