Pin Configuration

22k Ohm Potentiometer (10 pcs) Documentation
Overview:
The 22k Ohm Potentiometer is a variable resistor commonly used in analog circuits to adjust voltage or current levels. This component is suitable for a wide range of IoT applications, including sensor calibration, voltage regulation, and audio volume control.
Pinout:
The 22k Ohm Potentiometer has three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. Here's a detailed explanation of each pin:
Pin 1 (CCW - Counter-Clockwise Terminal):
Function: Connects to the negative voltage supply (GND) or the low reference voltage (VREF) of the circuit.
Description: As 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.
Pin 2 (Wiper - Middle Terminal):
Function: Connects to the signal or output voltage of the circuit.
Description: The wiper terminal is connected to the slider of the potentiometer. As the potentiometer is turned, the wiper moves along the resistive track, dividing the total resistance (22k Ohm) between Pin 1 and Pin 3.
Pin 3 (CW - Clockwise Terminal):
Function: Connects to the positive voltage supply (VCC) or the high reference voltage of the circuit.
Description: As the potentiometer is turned clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 decreases, while the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 3 increases.
Connection Structure:
Here's a point-by-point guide to connect the pins:
Step 1: Connect Pin 1 (CCW) to GND (Negative Supply):
+ Connect Pin 1 to the ground (GND) or the negative supply rail of your circuit.
Step 2: Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to the Signal/Output:
+ Connect Pin 2 to the signal or output voltage of your circuit, such as an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) input or a voltage regulator output.
Step 3: Connect Pin 3 (CW) to VCC (Positive Supply):
+ Connect Pin 3 to the positive supply rail (VCC) or the high reference voltage of your circuit.
Example Connection Diagram:
R1 - 22k Ohm Potentiometer
GND - Ground (Negative Supply)
VCC - Positive Supply (3.3V or 5V)
SIG - Signal/Output Voltage
R1 Pin 1 (CCW) -> GND
R1 Pin 2 (Wiper) -> SIG
R1 Pin 3 (CW) -> VCC
Important Notes:
Ensure the potentiometer is properly mounted and secured to prevent mechanical damage or rotation.
Use a suitable socket or connector to connect the potentiometer to your circuit, taking care not to over-torque or damage the pins.
Avoid applying excessive voltage or current beyond the specified ratings to prevent damage or degradation of the potentiometer.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively incorporate the 22k Ohm Potentiometer into your IoT project, achieving precise control over voltage or current levels.
