Additional Details

The 3296W series trimmers typically feature a resistance tolerance of ±10%. They have a power rating of around 0.5W at 70°C. The operating temperature range is typically -55°C to +125°C. The adjustment mechanism is designed for smooth and consistent rotation. The housing is usually made of a durable plastic material that is resistant to solvents and chemicals. The terminals are typically made of plated brass or copper for good solderability and corrosion resistance. The number of turns is usually specified in the datasheet and it's usually 25 turns. The temperature coefficient is low which provides a stable resistance despite temperature variations.
