3059Y-1-201

Trimmer Potentiometers are a broad series of devices used to change the resistance of a circuit due to changing the position of a moveable contact. 3059Y-1-201 trimmer potentiometers are specifically designed to give reliable and consistent performance while maintaining a small package size.

Application Field

3059Y-1-201 trimmer potentiometers are used in a variety of applications, such as controlling the flow of electricity in power supplies, adjusting the gain of circuit components, amplifying signals in communications systems, monitoring temperature and controlling access systems. They are also used in many consumer electronics, such as mobile phones and GPS systems.

Working Principle

The 3059Y-1-201 trimmer potentiometer works based on the principle of electrical resistance. When the movable contact is adjusted, it creates a larger or smaller electrical resistance, which in turn determines the amount of current flowing through the circuit. The precise movement of the contact can be achieved by using a small control such as a screw thread, knob or lever.

The 3059Y-1-201 trimmer potentiometer is composed of three main elements; the contact, the resistor and the voltage source. The contact is the moveable contact that is adjusted to change the electrical resistance. The resistor is the component that creates the electrical resistance, while the voltage source supplies the electrical energy to the circuit.

When the contact is adjusted, the resistance of the resistor changes accordingly. This results in a change of the electrical current in the circuit, which can be used to control the operation of the circuit. The voltage source is used to stabilize the current flow in the circuit and to protect against any potential damage.

3059Y-1-201 trimmer potentiometers are designed for precision and accuracy, making them ideal for use in delicate applications where accuracy is crucial. They are highly reliable and have a long life, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
