A trimmer potentiometer, abbreviated as a trim pot, is a tiny variable resistor used for adjustment of circuit components. In applications where the accuracy of the circuit setting cannot be ensured by printing resistor values, trimmer potentiometers are used. It consists of three terminals, two providing an adjustable voltageDivider and one being its common terminal.

The ST2A201 trim pot is one of the most commonly used adjustable potentiometers. It is small in size, precision in accuracy, making it ideal for a wide range of applications such as portable electronics, amplifier circuits, and smaller volume potentiometer replacement. Its size of 12.0mm * 20.0mm can even fit through small openings if necessary.

In terms of its working principle, the ST2A201 trim pot works upon thevoltage-Divider principle. When a voltage is applied to the upper end, the fixed resistance will divide the voltage across the two low ends. The wiper terminal will act as a variable resistance and control the voltage on the outputProportionally. A brief description of the steps involved in the operation of an ST2A201 trim pot is given below.

Step 1: Application of voltage– The first step in the operation of the trim pot ST2A201 involves the application of voltage across the two ends. At this point, the variable resistance provided by the wiper terminal has no effect on the circulating voltage.

Step 2: Adjust wiper position– The operation of the trim pot now  requires the adjustment of its wiper. By moving the wiper, a resistance is created at the juncture, ensuring a proportional output voltage.

Step 3: Output voltage– After adjusting the wiper to a desired resistance, the voltage between the two lower ends will be proportional to the divided voltage,depending on the resistances created by the wiper and the fixed resistor.In most cases, this value can be fine-tuned or stabilized.

The ST2A201 trim pot is a small-sized, highly precise component, which can be used in a variety of applications. It can easily be connected to other components in the circuit, and its small size makes it ideal for cramped spaces. In terms of its working principle, the potentiometer functions upon the voltage-Divider principle, adjusting the voltage according to a fixed resistance and a variable resistance. The ST2A201 trim pot is one of the most popular adjustable potentiometers on the market and is used in a wide array of applications.
