Potentiometer plays a very wide role in the circuit. It can not only be used alone in the circuit, but also in more cases together with other electronic components to form a circuit with various functions.

The fundamental function of potentiometer in the circuit is to provide a resistance for the circuit. Resistance is a physical quantity.

What is a potentiometer? Usually it is also called resistance. Potentiometer plays the same role in circuit as resistance in water flow.

As far as conductors are concerned, the existence of adjustable power resistor in the use of current flow. The specific performance is that resistance consumes electric energy. Obviously, in this sense, the role of potentiometers is negative. However, many specific circuit functions can be realized by utilizing this characteristic of potentiometer in the circuit.

Potentiometer is to provide a resistive component for the circuit. Potentiometer distributes the current in the circuit for specific purposes by consuming electricity.

Connection Method of bourns 3296 Adjustable Resistance

3296 adjustable resistance is an adjustable electronic component. It consists of a resistor and a rotating or sliding system. When a voltage is applied between two fixed contacts of the resistor, the orientation of the contacts on the resistor is changed by rotating or sliding system. A voltage which is related to the orientation of the contacts can be obtained between the moving contacts and the fixed contacts.

The bourns 3296 adjustable resistance is very common and used in the category of electronic components. Because of its application in various fields, it is known by people. But in the process of using 3296 adjustable resistance connection, many people don't know or don't know what is the method and the characteristics of using 3296 adjustable resistance connection. Here, we introduce the method of 3296 adjustable resistance connection for you.

First, bourns 3296 adjustable resistance three pin connection method: the pins at both ends are fixed resistance value and sliding contact is in the middle, which can change between 0K-nK, and can be connected separately according to the requirements of the circuit.

2. Varistor and voltage regulator are the main two types of connection: voltage regulator is a fixed point connected to 0 bits, another fixed point connected to the voltage, so that the output of adjustable voltage between 0 bits fixed point and movable head; variable resistance is a short connection between fixed point and movable head, so that the two fixed points become a changeable resistance.

3. Connection method of three-legged 3296 adjustable power resistor, its two feet are the two ends of the resistance, the middle foot is a moving contact point, measuring the two feet on both sides, that is, the value of the whole resistance, the resistance of the middle foot and any foot, depending on the rotation angle and set.

If there is a 50K potentiometer to measure the resistance of two feet on both sides, the resistance value is 50K. To measure the resistance value of the middle foot and any foot on either side, it depends on the position of the handle. If the middle foot and any foot are rotated to the middle position, the resistance value of the middle foot and any side foot will be 25K. If the rotation continues, the resistance value will change, and if it becomes smaller, the other side will become larger.

Different 3296 adjustable power resistor have different resistance values and connection methods.
