Engineered for Critical Adjustments
The JBR-3296 series offers a 25 ±2 turn range, allowing highly accurate and repeatable adjustments in sensitive circuits. Unlike standard single-turn trimmers, this multiturn design enables superior fine-tuning, making it ideal for industrial control, measurement instruments, and high-precision applications.
Reliable Stability with Cermet Technology
Constructed with cermet (ceramic-metal) material, the JBR-3296 ensures minimal resistance drift even under temperature fluctuations. Engineers value this stability in circuits where long-term precision is essential.
Sealed for Harsh Environments
Its sealed package design prevents dust, moisture, and contaminants from affecting internal components. With an operational temperature range from -55°C to +125°C and compliance with shock and vibration standards, the JBR-3296 is fully qualified for demanding industrial environments.
Multiple Terminal Styles for Flexible Layout
Available in five terminal styles (W, Y, P, X, Z), the JBR-3296 gives designers layout flexibility for various PCB configurations. This versatility streamlines the design process without sacrificing reliability or functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main advantage of a 25-turn potentiometer over a single-turn potentiometer?
A 25-turn potentiometer divides the total resistance adjustment across 25 full mechanical rotations, providing 25 times finer resolution. This prevents accidental over-adjustment and enables precise circuit tuning.
Q2: What does "Cermet" mean and why is it preferred for industrial applications?
Cermet is a composite material made of ceramic and metal. Cermet resistive elements offer superior power handling, lower temperature coefficients, and far greater resistance stability compared to traditional carbon film elements.
Q3: How can engineering teams request free evaluation samples or part cross-references?
Engineers and sourcing buyers can request evaluation testing samples or submit BOM cross-reference inquiries through our online RFQ form or direct technical support email.
