Trimmer Potentiometers

Trimmer Potentiometers (TPs) are variable resistors with a solid rotatable shaft that scans a larger or smaller resistance area according to the shaft\'s position. The internal resistance of trimmer potentiometers is generally between 10 ohms and 50 kΩ, and most popular are TP-series and TP-2 series models. The TP-2 series features two independent rotational axes, and it is used in applications requiring multiple selections or adjustments.

67WR5KLFTB application field and working principle

The 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer features a quick adjust shaft with two flat disks that can be adjusted independently. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where multiple adjustments must be made quickly and accurately. This trimmer model is widely used in audio circuitry, such as amplifier volume control, and in automotive instrument clusters.

The 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is composed of a metal shell, a ceramic disk, and two adjustment screws. The metal shell provides the mechanical structure and encloses the ceramic disk. Inside the ceramic disk are two metal contacts that are spring loaded. When the adjustment screws are turned, they move the metal contacts closer or further apart adjusting the overall resistance. This adjustment mechanism is known as the \'Resistive Divider\' principle. This means that the adjustment range is limited and should not exceed +/- 10% of the trimmer potentiometer\'s rated resistance.

The 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is easy to operate and has a special feature that allows for fine-tuning. A built-in limit stop provides a secondary adjustment to expand the adjustment range of the trimmer. This allows for precise, small-scale adjustments, making it ideal for applications that require precise control over a relatively small range of adjustment.

The 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is a versatile device that is often used in a variety of applications. In audio systems, it can be used to control the volume or balance of the sound output, while in automotive instrument clusters, they can be used to adjust the display lighting level or the sensitivity of dash-mounted sensors. They can even be used in robotics and other types of automated production systems, as well as industrial applications where precise control of mechanical or electrical systems is required.

The 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is used in a wide range of applications due to its versatility, accuracy, and ease of use. It is reliable, economical, and has a long life span, making it the ideal choice for any application requiring precise control or adjustment. With its ability to provide accurate and reliable control over a wide range of adjustment, the 67WR5KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is ideal for any application requiring precise control.
