3059P-1-500 Datasheet/PDFTrimmer Potentiometers
A trimmer potentiometer is a device designed to be used to adjust the operating characteristics of an electrical or electronic system. It is a three-terminal device that can be used to adjust the voltage or current value in a circuit. The three terminals of the device are usually marked as low, high and tap. The low and high terminals are connected at the ends of the trimmer, and the tap is used to adjust the current or voltage value of the device.
The 3059P-1-500 trimmer potentiometer is a miniature, single-turn circular device with an adjustable resistance range of 1 to 500 Ohms. It is designed to be used as an adjustment device in circuits where a relatively small adjustment range is required. It is capable of adjusting the voltage or current in a circuit at a rate that is much smaller than the conventional potentiometer.
The 3059P-1-500 trimmer potentiometer is typically used as a voltage-controlled device when applied in AC circuits. When placed across an alternating voltage, it can adjust the output voltage as the position of the tap on the device is varied. The output voltage can be adjusted over a range of 0 to 200 volts. The device is also used to control the current in direct-current circuits.
The 3059P-1-500 trimmer potentiometer consists of a single shaft and is mounted on a printed circuit board. The shaft is usually operated by turning a screwdriver or other suitable tool. The shaft can be rotated in either direction in order to adjust the resistance of the device. The adjustment is effected by a set of resistive elements that are connected to the three terminals.
The 3059P-1-500 trimmer potentiometer is typically used in power supply, motor speed control and servo motor control applications. It can also be used as a voltage regulator in AC circuits and as a current-limiting device in DC circuits. In addition, it can be used as a trim adjustment device in electronic circuits, such as op-amps, oscillators and attenuators.
The 3059P-1-500 trimmer potentiometer is a relatively low-cost device that is available in many different configurations. It is easy to use and can provide precise voltage or current adjustment in a circuit. An important advantage of the device is that it can be mounted on a printed circuit board and adjusted from the outside of the board, making it an ideal device for adjustment in the field.
