Pin Configuration

  • Component Documentation: 500E 3296W Trimpot (Pack of 5)
  • Pin Description:
  • The 500E 3296W Trimpot is a 3-pin potentiometer, which is a type of variable resistor. The three pins are:
  • Pin 1: CW (Clockwise) Terminal
  • Function: One end of the potentiometer's resistive element
  • Connection: Connect to the positive voltage supply or the input signal
  • Description: When the potentiometer is turned clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 decreases, while the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 3 increases.
  • Pin 2: Wiper Terminal
  • Function: The movable contact that slides along the resistive element
  • Connection: Connect to the output signal or the circuit being controlled
  • Description: The wiper terminal is connected to the middle point of the potentiometer's resistive element and moves along the element as the potentiometer is rotated.
  • Pin 3: CCW (Counter-Clockwise) Terminal
  • Function: The other end of the potentiometer's resistive element
  • Connection: Connect to ground or the negative voltage supply
  • Description: When the potentiometer is turned counter-clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 increases, while the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 3 decreases.
  • Connection Structure:
  • Here's a general connection structure for the 500E 3296W Trimpot:
  • 1. Power Supply:
  • Connect Pin 1 (CW Terminal) to the positive voltage supply (VCC) or the input signal.
  • Connect Pin 3 (CCW Terminal) to ground (GND) or the negative voltage supply.
  • 2. Output Signal:
  • Connect Pin 2 (Wiper Terminal) to the output signal or the circuit being controlled, such as an amplifier, filter, or voltage divider.
  • Note:
  • The 500E 3296W Trimpot is a linear potentiometer, meaning the resistance changes linearly with the rotation of the potentiometer.
  • The trimmer potentiometer is typically used for fine-tuning and adjusting circuits, and is not intended for high-power applications.
  • Make sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical circuits, and consult the datasheet for specific usage guidelines.

Examples
### Example 1: Voltage Divider Circuit
In this example, we'll use the 500E 3296W Trimpot as a voltage divider to regulate the output voltage of a power supply.
Circuit Diagram
```
Vin  -> [R1 (1k)] -> [500E 3296W Trimpot] -> [R2 (1k)] -> GND
          |                       |                       |
          |  CCW        Wiper        CW    |

          Vout  -> [Load Circuit]
```
Code Example (Arduino)
```cpp
const int vin = 5;  // Input voltage (5V)
const int r1 = 1000;  // Resistor R1 (1k)
const int r2 = 1000;  // Resistor R2 (1k)
int trimpotPin = A0;  // Trimpot wiper pin connected to analog input A0
void setup() {
  pinMode(trimpotPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(trimpotPin);
  float voltageOut = (sensorValue / 1023.0)  vin;
  Serial.print("Output Voltage: ");
  Serial.println(voltageOut);
  delay(100);
}
```
Adjust the trimpot to set the desired output voltage, and the Arduino will read the voltage value through the analog input.
### Example 2: Audio Volume Control
In this example, we'll use the 500E 3296W Trimpot as a volume control for an audio circuit.
Circuit Diagram
```
Audio Signal  -> [500E 3296W Trimpot] -> Speaker
          |                       |

          GND  -> [R3 (1k)] -> Audio Signal Ground
```
Code Example (Raspberry Pi)
This example uses the Raspberry Pi's GPIO library to control the audio volume.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
# Set up GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Trimpot wiper pin connected to GPIO 17
trimpot_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(trimpot_pin, GPIO.IN)
while True:
    # Read the trimpot value
    trimpot_value = GPIO.input(trimpot_pin)
# Calculate the volume based on the trimpot value
    volume = trimpot_value  10  # Scale the value to 0-100
# Set the audio volume using the `amixer` command
    os.system(f'amixer -D pulse sset Master {volume}%')
    time.sleep(0.1)
```
Adjust the trimpot to set the desired audio volume, and the Raspberry Pi will read the value and adjust the audio output accordingly.
