262XR253B

Trimmer Potentiometers are used to adjust the resistance of electronic circuits and are two-terminal devices composed of a resistive element and contacts that trace the element as they are rotated or slid along its length. The popular 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer is a miniature, pad-mounted, vibration-proof tool that offers good reliability and quality performance. With its small 9.7 x 8.2 x 5.2 mm3 package size, it can be included in tight spaces to optimize electrical circuitry. It consists of a working element, a mechanical actuating element, and a knobcoupling element.

Application Field

The 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer is widely used in various fields, including Industrial Automation, Communication Systems, Security Systems, and Robotics. Its versatile size makes it suitable for harsh environments, as it can be perfectly integrated into electronic circuits and automation systems. The 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer with a resistance range of 10 ohms-5K (±20%), offers precision adjustment for a variety of applications. It can even be used for vehicle stability control development, such as for brake/throttle applications.

Working Principle

When the shaft of the potentiometer is rotated or slided along its length, it increases or decreases the resistance between both the terminals. The high resistance of the potentiometer is connected between the two terminals and the slider, which is connected to the shaft or the wiper, is connected to the center terminal. The 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer features a flat bottom that helps it fit into circuit boards with a shallow mounting depth. It can also meet the rigorous requirements of consumer, medical and industrial applications. The resistance is adjusted by rotating or sliding the knob, increasing or decreasing the resistance.

The 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer can sustain a high level of temperature that offers it a long lifetime. This makes it a reliable and cost-effective solution for any application that requires a precise resistance adjustment. The potentiometer is made of alloy-metal electrodes and is hermetically sealed via a Teflon jacket and a stainless steel cap. It also features a unique locking mechanism that prevents unintentional changes to the settings. The 262XR253B Trimmer Potentiometer is a reliable, robust, and cost-effective tool for any application that requires precise resistance adjustment.
