Pin Configuration

  • Component Documentation: 200K 3296W Trimpot (Pack of 5)
  • Overview
  • The 200K 3296W Trimpot is a variable resistor, also known as a trimpot, used to adjust electrical resistance in a circuit. This component is commonly used in electronic projects, prototyping, and production environments. This documentation explains the pins of the 200K 3296W Trimpot and provides a step-by-step guide on how to connect them.
  • Pin Layout
  • The 200K 3296W Trimpot has a standard 3-pin layout, with the following pins:
  • Pin 1: Counter-Clockwise (CCW) Terminal
  • Function: This pin is connected to one end of the resistive element.
  • Description: When the trimpot is turned counter-clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 increases, while the resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 2 decreases.
  • Pin 2: Wiper Terminal
  • Function: This pin is connected to the movable wiper contact that slides along the resistive element.
  • Description: The wiper terminal is the output of the trimpot, which provides a variable resistance value depending on the trimpot's position.
  • Pin 3: Clockwise (CW) Terminal
  • Function: This pin is connected to the other end of the resistive element.
  • Description: When the trimpot is turned clockwise, the resistance between Pin 1 and Pin 2 decreases, while the resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 2 increases.
  • Connection Guide
  • To connect the 200K 3296W Trimpot, follow these steps:
  • 1. Identify the pin layout: Before connecting the trimpot, ensure you identify the correct pin layout. The CCW terminal (Pin 1) is usually marked with a dot or a line on the component.
  • 2. Connect Pin 1 (CCW) to the circuit ground: Connect Pin 1 to the circuit ground or a fixed reference point in your circuit. This connection sets the reference voltage for the trimpot.
  • 3. Connect Pin 2 (Wiper) to the output load: Connect Pin 2 to the output load or the circuit point where you want to adjust the resistance. This connection will provide a variable resistance value depending on the trimpot's position.
  • 4. Connect Pin 3 (CW) to the power source: Connect Pin 3 to the power source or a fixed voltage point in your circuit. This connection sets the maximum resistance value for the trimpot.
  • Important Considerations
  • When handling the trimpot, avoid touching the pins with your bare hands, as this can cause damage to the component.
  • Use a suitable trimmer tool or screwdriver to adjust the trimpot.
  • Ensure the trimpot is properly secured to the PCB or breadboard to prevent mechanical stress.
  • Follow proper soldering techniques when connecting the trimpot to a PCB.
  • By following these guidelines, you can successfully connect and utilize the 200K 3296W Trimpot in your electronic projects.

The 200K 3296W Trimpot is a high-precision, cermet-based trimmer potentiometer designed for precision applications. This pack of 5 trimpots is ideal for use in IoT projects requiring fine-tuned analog signal control. Here's a comprehensive overview of the component and code examples demonstrating its usage in various contexts.
Component Specifications:
Resistance: 200k
 Power Rating: 0.25W

 Linearity: 1%
 Operating Temperature: -55C to 150C
 Dimensions: 3.2mm x 3.2mm x 1.5mm
Pinout:
The trimpot has three pins:
1. CCW (Counter-Clockwise) Terminal: Connected to the wiper terminal when the trimpot is set to its minimum resistance value.
2. Wiper Terminal: The movable terminal that connects to the CCW or CW terminal, depending on the trimpot's setting.
3. CW (Clockwise) Terminal: Connected to the wiper terminal when the trimpot is set to its maximum resistance value.
Code Examples:
### Example 1: Analog Signal Attenuation (Arduino)
In this example, we'll use the trimpot to attenuate an analog signal from a sensor, such as a photodiode, to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor.
```c++
const int sensorPin = A0;  // Photodiode connected to analog input 0
const int trimpotPin = A1;  // Trimpot connected to analog input 1
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  int trimpotValue = analogRead(trimpotPin);
  
  // Calculate the attenuation factor based on the trimpot's setting
  float attenuation = trimpotValue / 1023.0;
  
  // Attenuate the sensor signal
  int attenuatedValue = sensorValue  attenuation;
  
  Serial.print("Sensor Value: ");
  Serial.print(sensorValue);
  Serial.print(" | Attenuated Value: ");
  Serial.println(attenuatedValue);
  
  delay(100);
}
```
### Example 2: Voltage Divider (Raspberry Pi with Python)
In this example, we'll use the trimpot as a voltage divider to generate a variable output voltage between 0V and 3.3V, which can be used to control a load or as an input to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Trimpot connected to GPIO 17 ( Pin 11 )
trimpot_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(trimpot_pin, GPIO.OUT)
# Output pin connected to a load or ADC
output_pin = 23
GPIO.setup(output_pin, GPIO.OUT)
try:
    while True:
        # Set the trimpot to a specific resistance value
        trimpot_resistance = 100000  # ohms
        
        # Calculate the output voltage based on the trimpot's setting
        output_voltage = 3.3  (trimpot_resistance / (trimpot_resistance + 200000))
        
        # Set the output pin to the calculated voltage
        GPIO.output(output_pin, GPIO.HIGH if output_voltage > 1.65 else GPIO.LOW)
        print("Output Voltage: {:.2f}V".format(output_voltage))
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
Note: In both examples, the trimpot's output is assumed to be a linear representation of the resistance value. In practice, the trimpot's linearity may vary, and calibration may be necessary to achieve accurate results.
