The working principle of the 3296 potentiometer is based on its internal structure and electrical characteristics.
It is a variable resistor, usually composed of a resistor body and a movable brush. The resistor body has two fixed ends, and the position of the moving contact point on the resistor body can be changed by manually adjusting the shaft or sliding handle. In this way, the resistance value between the moving contact and any fixed end will change, thereby adjusting the voltage and current in the circuit. twelve The 3296 potentiometer is a pre adjusted potentiometer driven by a screw, with the characteristic of multiple rotations. The full stroke is greater than or equal to 15 rotations, and the maximum resistance of the resistor body is only 300 °.
By rotating the screw, the position of the contact point on the resistor can be adjusted, thereby changing the resistance value of the potentiometer. After adjusting to the maximum or minimum resistance value, the contact will not move with further rotation of the screw, which provides protection.
Potentiometers have a wide range of applications, as they can be used to adjust voltage (including DC voltage and signal voltage) and current, and are also commonly used as voltage dividers. In electronic circuits, the 3296 potentiometer is particularly suitable for situations that require high precision, such as audio amplifiers, temperature controllers, light brightness regulators, etc

How to distinguish the three pins of a potentiometer
The three pins of a potentiometer typically include the middle pin (wiper), top pin (top), and bottom pin (bottom).
The middle foot serves as a voltage divider, while the top and bottom feet define the resistance range that changes when the knob is turned. The method to distinguish the three pins of a potentiometer is as follows: 12 Observe the appearance. The appearance of a potentiometer usually has a mark indicating the position of the middle pin, and the positions of the left and right pins can also be distinguished by size and shape. Generally, the left pin is slightly larger than the right pin and is further away from the middle pin.
Use a multimeter for testing. Using a multimeter can further confirm the function of the pins. Firstly, connect the multimeter probes to any two pins of the potentiometer, adjust the potentiometer handle, and observe whether the resistance changes; Then, replace one of the probes with the connected pin, adjust the potentiometer handle again, and observe whether the resistance value changes. Comparing the resistance values of two measurements, when the resistance value in one measurement does not change, it indicates that the pin connected to the red and black probes of the multimeter is a fixed pin, and the other pin is a moving pin. Through these methods, the three pins of the potentiometer can be effectively distinguished.

A potentiometer, also known as an adjustable resistor, is a basic electrical component commonly used in motors to adjust the voltage and current in the circuit, thereby achieving control of the motor. In motors, potentiometers mainly have the following functions:
1. Adjust the output voltage and current of the motor: The potentiometer can adjust the output voltage and current of the motor by changing the resistance value in the circuit, thereby controlling the working performance of the motor. For example, in a DC motor, a variable resistor can be used to control the speed and torque of the motor, as well as to adjust the winding resistance and current of the motor.
2. Suppressing interference signals in the circuit: The potentiometer can be used as a part of the filter to suppress interference signals in the circuit by changing the resistance value, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the motor's operation.
3. Adjusting the attenuator: The potentiometer can also be used as a part of the attenuator to attenuate signals by adjusting the resistance value, thereby protecting the motor and other electrical components from high signal voltages.

WEET Introducce all The types of potentiometer
According to the structure and usage of potentiometers, they can be divided into many different types, among which the common ones are as follows:
1. Rotating potentiometer: A rotating potentiometer, also known as a potential knob, usually consists of a rotatable conductor and two endpoints.
By rotating the potential knob, the distance between its connection point and the conductor is changed, thereby changing the resistance value in the circuit.
2. Linear potentiometer: A linear potentiometer, also known as a linear potentiometer, usually consists of an adjustable conductor and two endpoints.
By moving the connection point (sliding electrode) on the conductor, its resistance value is changed to control the current and voltage in the circuit.
3. Dual turn potentiometer: A dual turn potentiometer is similar to a rotary potentiometer, but has two rotatable conductors that can rotate horizontally and vertically.
It is commonly used to control two parameters in a circuit.

Potentiometers can be divided into precision potentiometers and sealed potentiometers.
The 3296 potentiometer is one of the series of precision potentiometers,
which can be divided into several types according to their specifications,
such as 3296X, 3296P, 3296Y, 3296Z, 3296W, etc.
Moreover, resistors with different specifications will also have differences in functional characteristics.
So generally, when we purchase a 3296 potentiometer, we cannot limit ourselves to evaluating the quality of the product solely based on price,
because the performance characteristics of the potentiometer can be comprehensively analyzed from its power, resistance, temperature coefficient, and other aspects

Chip SMD Trimming Potentiometer refers to a chip resistor whose resistance value can vary.
The main function in a circuit is to regulate physical quantities related to electricity, such as potential (voltage), current, volume, brightness, speed, etc.
It is an indispensable electrical component in a circuit.
Adjustment of SMT Potentiometers
Surface mount potentiometers generally have slots that can adjust resistance changes.
Since the slots are not very large, the adjustment tool blade must match the potentiometer slot and the torque should be appropriate,
otherwise it is easy to damage the surface mount potentiometers.
In addition, do not adjust the surface mount potentiometer randomly during maintenance to avoid expanding the range of faults and making recovery difficult.
If adjustment is required, it is best to mark the starting position of the adjustment, and the adjustment should generally not exceed 360 °

Usually, the terminal pins of a 3266 potentiometer consist of three pin contacts, one movable pin and two fixed pins.
However, during installation and wiring, the two fixed pins can be interchanged, while the middle fixed pin cannot be interchanged with the movable pin,
otherwise it will cause incompatibility between the wires and may directly damage the potentiometer.
The adjustment method of 3266 potentiometer can be achieved by inserting a flat screwdriver into the screw adjustment port,
and then turning the screwdriver can change the orientation of the chip, thereby controlling the adjustment of resistance value
