Pin Configuration

  • Component Documentation: 1K 3386P Trimpot (Pack of 5)
  • Overview
  • The 1K 3386P Trimpot is a variable resistor, also known as a potentiometer, with a resistance value of 1 k. It is a popular component in electronic circuits, allowing for precise adjustments of voltage or current. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the component's pins and their connections.
  • Pin Description
  • The 1K 3386P Trimpot has three pins, labeled as follows:
  • Pin 1: Counter Clockwise (CCW) Terminal
  • Function: Connects to the negative side of the power supply or the ground signal.
  • Description: This pin is connected to the moving wiper (contact) when the potentiometer is turned fully counter-clockwise.
  • Pin 2: Wiper (Middle) Terminal
  • Function: Connects to the output signal or the signal to be varied.
  • Description: This pin is connected to the moving wiper (contact) and is the output of the potentiometer.
  • Pin 3: Clockwise (CW) Terminal
  • Function: Connects to the positive side of the power supply or the signal to be varied.
  • Description: This pin is connected to the moving wiper (contact) when the potentiometer is turned fully clockwise.
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the 1K 3386P Trimpot, follow this structure:
  • 1. Power Supply Connections
  • Connect Pin 1 (CCW) to the negative side of the power supply (GND) or a voltage reference point.
  • Connect Pin 3 (CW) to the positive side of the power supply (VCC) or a voltage reference point.
  • 2. Signal Connections
  • Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to the signal or output you want to vary, such as an amplifier input, a voltage divider, or a sensor interface.
  • Example Connection Scenario
  • Suppose you want to use the 1K 3386P Trimpot as a voltage divider to vary the input voltage to an amplifier:
  • Connect Pin 1 (CCW) to GND (0V)
  • Connect Pin 3 (CW) to VCC (5V)
  • Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to the amplifier input (e.g., an op-amp input pin)
  • By adjusting the potentiometer, you can vary the voltage at the wiper terminal, which is connected to the amplifier input, between 0V and 5V.
  • Remember to handle the trimpot with care, as excessive force or twisting can damage the internal mechanism.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Analog Voltage Divider (Arduino)
In this example, we will use the 1K 3386P Trimpot to create an analog voltage divider circuit with an Arduino board.
Circuit
Connect the Trimpot between VCC (5V) and GND.
 Connect the wiper terminal to an analog input pin on the Arduino board (e.g., A0).
Code
```c
const int trimpotPin = A0;  // Analog input pin
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int trimpotValue = analogRead(trimpotPin);
  float voltage = trimpotValue  (5.0 / 1023.0);
  Serial.print("Voltage: ");
  Serial.print(voltage);
  Serial.println("V");
  delay(500);
}
```
In this example, the Trimpot acts as a voltage divider, dividing the 5V supply voltage down to a lower voltage that is read by the Arduino's analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The value read from the Trimpot is then converted to a voltage value and printed to the serial console.
### Example 2: Audio Attenuator (CircuitPython)
In this example, we will use the 1K 3386P Trimpot to create an audio attenuator circuit to adjust the volume of an audio signal.
Circuit
Connect the Trimpot in series with an audio signal line (e.g., from a audio jack to a speaker).
 Connect the wiper terminal to the audio output (e.g., speaker).
Code
```python
import board
import analogio
trimpot = analogio.AnalogIn(board.A0)  # Analog input pin
def attenuate_audio(volume):
    # Scale the volume value (0-65535) to a resistive value (0-1k)
    resistance = int(volume  (1.0 / 65535.0)  1000)
    # Set the Trimpot wiper position to the calculated resistance
    trim_pot.wiper_position = resistance
while True:
    # Read the audio signal level (0-65535)
    volume = trimpot.value
    attenuate_audio(volume)
```
In this example, the Trimpot is used to adjust the volume of an audio signal by varying the resistance in the signal path. The CircuitPython code reads the audio signal level and sets the Trimpot wiper position accordingly, effectively adjusting the volume.
Please note that these examples are simplified and may require additional components and circuitry to function properly. Always follow proper safety precautions and consult relevant datasheets when working with electronic components.
