Bourns 3296 Series Multi-Turn Potentiometer, Cermet, 10kΩ, 10%

Bourns 3296 Series Multi-Turn Trimmer Potentiometer is a through-hole cermet potentiometer with a 10 kΩ track resistance and ±10% tolerance, suited to calibration and fine-tuning in electronic circuits.

Overview

The Bourns 3296 Series uses a cermet (ceramic-metal) resistive element to provide a 10 kΩ track resistance with a tolerance of ±10%. Its multi-turn design offers 25 full rotations, allowing fine and accurate adjustment of resistance. The top-adjust type provides access to the adjustment during assembly and servicing. A chevron seal design is included to offer environmental protection.
