Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer is a variable resistor whose resistance can be adjusted within a certain range. These potentiometers are often used to provide a variable voltage or current to an electrical circuit. The most common application is as part of a voltage divider, in which case they are called a VR (variable resistor).

The 44GR200KLFTB is a miniature trimmer potentiometer that is used to fine-tune the electrical output of a circuit. It has a resistance range of 2 ohms to 200 kilohms and is constructed with a single carbon element with no termination. It is available with either a 3/8-inch or 5/16-inch long threaded cap.

The 44GR200KLFTB has many applications in the electronics industry, including military and aerospace, medical, consumer products and industrial applications. It is typically used to fine-tune power supplies, voltage regulators, servos and actuators.

Working Principle

A trimmer potentiometer works by altering the amount of resistance in a circuit. This is accomplished by rotating a shaft, which moves a contact against the carbon element. This alters the resistance, which in turn alters the voltage or current in the circuit.

When using the 44GR200KLFTB, the shaft should be turned slowly and carefully to ensure that the contact and the carbon element stay in contact. The device can also be adjusted to change the resistance over a wide range, depending on the application at hand.
