BOURNS 3296 Series Cermet Multi-Turn Trimmer Potentiometer 100KΩ
BOURNS 3296 series 100KΩ cermet trimmer. 25-turn, IP65 sealed, for precise circuit adjustment in electronics. Through-hole mount.
The BOURNS 3296 Series is a family of high-quality, multi-turn, through-hole trimming potentiometers. Constructed with a reliable cermet element, these components are designed for precise and stable circuit adjustments in a wide array of electronic equipment. Their multi-turn design allows for fine-tuning over 25 rotations, enabling very accurate setting of resistance values. This makes them perfect for applications requiring the measurement of linear distance, angle, or rotation in production and calibration equipment.
These trimmers are housed in a compact 3/8-inch square form factor and are available with either side or top adjustment via a lead screw. A key feature is the robust chevron seal design, which provides an IP65-rated seal against dust and low-pressure water jets, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. The device offers a long rotational life of 200 cycles and a power rating of 0.5W.
