200K Trimpot 1/2W 3362P

Trimpots, also known as trimmer potentiometers, are adjustable resistors used to adjust the electrical values of resistors. They consist of a resistive element and an adjustment mechanism.

The resistance value of a trimpot can be adjusted using the adjustment mechanism. This alters the resistance value in the circuit to which the trimpot is connected, thereby affecting the circuit's output or performance. Trimpots are typically used in applications that require precise adjustments, such as amplifiers, regulators, filters, and other precision electronic circuits.

Trimpots come in various sizes and types. Some are very small and surface-mountable, while others are larger and mounted with soldering. Some trimpots are single-turn, meaning the adjustment mechanism completes one full revolution when turned, while others are multi-turn, allowing the adjustment mechanism to make several complete revolutions.

Trimpots provide circuit designers and electronics enthusiasts with flexibility in adjusting resistance values in their circuits. Since they are used in applications that require precise adjustments, it's important to achieve the correct resistance value.
