Additional Details
The Bourns 3323P-1-105 potentiometer typically features a resistance tolerance of ±10% and a power rating of 0.5 watts. The resistance element is typically made of cermet, offering excellent stability and resistance to wear. The operating temperature range usually spans from -55°C to +125°C. This particular model has a resistance value of 1M Ohm (105). The single-turn design means the full resistance range is covered within one rotation of the adjustment screw. The 'P' in the part number often indicates a specific pinout or packaging variation.
