3059P-1-103 Application Field And Working Principle

Trimmer Potentiometers, commonly referred to as trimmers, are small, adjustable electronic components used to finely adjust the resistance in circuits to calibrate them for a desired output. Trimmer potentiometers come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and constructions, and can vary in their number of terminals and the type of resistance that they are designed to adjust. One such model, the 3059P-1-103 Trimmer Potentiometer, is a small, three-terminal potentiometer designed to adjust resistance with a minimum of force.

The 3059P-1-103 Trimmer Potentiometer is used in a variety of application fields, including telecommunications, medical equipment, and automotive electronics. It is typically mounted to a PCB via a pair of control pins that allow it to be adjusted with minimal force. Its resistance range can be adjusted from 0 ohms to 10k ohms, which makes it ideal for setting thresholds and controlling current flow in various applications. In addition, it has an operating temperature range between -40°C and 105°C, making it suitable for use in a wide range of environments.

The 3059P-1-103 Trimmer Potentiometer is a two-terminal device, which means that it consists of two resistive elements connected in series. The first element is the variable resistor element, which has an adjustable contact that is moved by the shaft. The second element is the fixed resistor element, which remains at a fixed resistance level. When the shaft is turned, the variable resistor\'s contact moves along the resistance path, changing the resistance between the two terminals. In doing so, the trimmer changes the overall resistance of the circuit.

The 3059P-1-103 Trimmer Potentiometer is designed to handle a maximum power rating of 500mW and a maximum voltage of 30V. It is available in both linear and logarithmic configurations, and can be adjusted in increments of 1%. In addition, it has a low profile design, enabling it to fit into tight spaces within a design.

The 3059P-1-103 Trimmer Potentiometer is an ideal solution for many design engineers who require a small, adjustable component that can be easily calibrated for a desired output. Its wide range of resistance levels, adjustable increments, and low profile design make it an excellent choice for a huge variety of applications.
