3260W-001-501 – BOURNS

The Bourns 3260W-001-501 is a precision 3/8″ square trimming potentiometer designed for applications demanding accurate and repeatable voltage division. It offers a resistance value of 500 Ohms with a ±10% tolerance. This wirewound potentiometer boasts excellent stability and low TCR, crucial for maintaining circuit accuracy across varying temperatures. The 3260W-001-501 features a through-hole mounting package, facilitating secure and robust integration into printed circuit boards. Its robust construction allows reliable operation across an operating temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. Typical applications include calibration circuits, gain adjustment in amplifiers, and precision voltage dividers. The component is rated for an OUTPUT ONLY Voltage Rating of 300V and an OUTPUT ONLY Current Rating of 0.5A. Its multi-turn design allows for fine-tuning and precise setting of resistance values, providing a distinct advantage over single-turn potentiometers in circuits requiring high resolution and minimal drift.
