3059J-1-204M

Trimmer potentiometers are electronic components that are used to adjust the electrical output of circuity by fine-tuning as its name implies. The 3059J-1-204M is a trimmer potentiometer with a wide range of applications and complex working principles.

Application Field

The 3059J-1-204M is a commonly used trimmer potentiometer. It is widely used in AC and DC motor control, camera, VCR, cash register/POS, audio systems, medical instruments, and laser technology. It is also used to regulate the voltage and current of both circuits.

Working Principle

The internal electrical circuitry of the 3059J-1-204M consists of a resistive element or track. This track is connected to two terminals and can be adjusted using a precision mechanism or adjustment screw. The two terminals are connected to a third terminal or wiper. When the position of the wiper is altered, it changes the potential difference between the track and the wiper, which in turn alters the electrical output of the circuit.

The adjustable range of the 3059J-1-204M is typically ± 3%, or +/- 0.005Ω. The potentiometer works on a logarithmic scale, meaning it has a maximum resistance (Rmax) and minimum resistance (Rmin) which is adjustable from the adjustment screw. Depending on the resistance, the 3059J-1-204M has a power rating of between 0.5W and 2W.

Conclusion

The 3059J-1-204M is a highly reliable and accurate trimmer potentiometer that is capable of fine-tuning the electrical output of circuits. It has a wide range of applications and a complex working principle. Its adjustable range of ± 3%, or +/- 0.005Ω makes it very useful for precision circuit control.
