50K 3296W Trimpot (Pack of 5)

Overview

The 50K 3296W Trimpot is a high-quality, precision potentiometer designed for trimming and adjusting electronic circuits. This component is available in a pack of 5, making it an excellent value for projects that require multiple potentiometers.

Functionality

The 50K 3296W Trimpot is a variable resistor, also known as a potentiometer, that allows for precise adjustment of resistance values within a circuit. It consists of three terminals

two end terminals and a center terminal (wiper). The wiper moves along a resistive track, dividing the total resistance into two segments. By adjusting the position of the wiper, the user can change the resistance ratio between the two end terminals, effectively varying the output voltage or current.

50K 3296W Trimpot (Pack of 5) Documentation
The 50K 3296W Trimpot is a variable resistor, also known as a trimpot or trimmer potentiometer, used to adjust electrical resistance in a circuit. This documentation will explain the pinouts and connection details for this component.
Pinout Description:
The 50K 3296W Trimpot has three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. Here's a breakdown of each pin's function:
Pin 1 (CCW): This pin is the counter-clockwise end of the potentiometer. When the trimpot is turned counter-clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 decreases, while the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 3 increases.
Pin 2 (Wiper): This pin is the wiper or movable contact of the potentiometer. It's connected to the rotating shaft of the trimpot and moves along the resistive track as the trimpot is adjusted. The wiper pin is the output of the trimpot and carries the variable voltage or signal.
Pin 3 (CW): This pin is the clockwise end of the potentiometer. When the trimpot is turned clockwise, the resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 2 decreases, while the resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 1 increases.
Connection Structure:
Here's a step-by-step guide to connecting the pins of the 50K 3296W Trimpot:
Example Circuit:
Suppose we want to use the trimpot as a voltage divider to generate a variable voltage output between 0V and 5V.
Step 1: Connect Pin 1 (CCW) to the positive voltage source (5V) of your circuit.
Step 2: Connect Pin 3 (CW) to the negative voltage source (GND) of your circuit.
Step 3: Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to the input of your circuit that requires the variable voltage output.
Notes:
The trimpot can be used in various configurations, such as a rheostat (variable resistor) or a potentiometer (voltage divider).
The 50K in the component name indicates the total resistance of the trimpot, which is 50 kilohms.
The 3296W is the manufacturer's part number and may vary depending on the specific component and vendor.
When adjusting the trimpot, ensure not to exceed the maximum rated voltage or power handling capacity to avoid damage or overheating.
By following these connection guidelines and understanding the pinout functionality, you can effectively use the 50K 3296W Trimpot in your IoT projects or other electronic circuits.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Arduino Voltage Divider

In this example, we will use the trimpot to create a variable voltage divider circuit with an Arduino board.

```cpp
const int trimpotPin = A0;  // Trimpot connected to analog input A0
const int outputPin = 9;    // Output pin for the divided voltage
int trimpotValue = 0;      // Variable to store trimpot resistance value

void setup() {
  pinMode(outputPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  trimpotValue = analogRead(trimpotPin);  // Read trimpot resistance value
  int outputVoltage = map(trimpotValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);  // Map trimpot value to output voltage (0-255)
  analogWrite(outputPin, outputVoltage);  // Output the divided voltage
  delay(50);
}
```

### Example 2: Raspberry Pi GPIO Control

In this example, we will use the trimpot to control the brightness of an LED connected to a Raspberry Pi's GPIO pin.

```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
trimpotPin = 17  # Trimpot connected to GPIO 17
ledPin = 23     # LED connected to GPIO 23
GPIO.setup(trimpotPin, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(ledPin, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
    trimpotValue = GPIO.input(trimpotPin)  # Read trimpot resistance value
    if trimpotValue == 0:
        GPIO.output(ledPin, GPIO.LOW)  # Turn off LED if trimpot is at minimum resistance
    else:
        GPIO.output(ledPin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Turn on LED with variable brightness based on trimpot resistance
    time.sleep(0.01)
```

Note: The above examples are simplified and may require additional circuitry and considerations depending on the specific application.
