Trimmer Potentiometers

The 68XR500KLFTB is a type of trimmer potentiometer. In general, trimmer potentiometers are variable resistors that are adjusted manually using a special tool. They are usually small, lightweight parts with very low power requirements. Typically, they have three terminals with two adjustable contacts, a potentiometer wiper and a rotary adjustment knob.

Trimmer potentiometers can be used for a variety of applications and are particularly suited for high precision signal conditioning. They are often used to adjust amplifier gains, filter capacitors, and precision voltage dividers. They can also be used to adjust frequency in radio systems, as well as lap timing systems in racing cars. Other uses of trimmer potentiometers include the adjustment of test equipment and the adjustment of wattmeters and thermometers.

The 68XR500KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is designed for use in panel-mount or board-level applications, and it has a rating of 0.5W. It is adjustable using a 5-turn sweep knob on the outside. This knob can be used to adjust the resistance value from 0-4.90KOhm. The potentiometer also features both single- and double-turn adjustments.

The 68XR500KLFTB is a multiturn trimmer potentiometer, meaning that it can be adjusted with greater precision than other types of potentiometers. This is accomplished through its ability to make multiple rotations, allowing for fine adjustments to be made. The multiturn potentiometer is mounted in a low-profile enclosure and is equipped with a locking lever that ensures the knob is always adjusted to the desired setting.

The working principle of the 68XR500KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is quite simple. When the adjustment knob is turned, it moves the wiper which in turn moves the resistance element inside the potentiometer. This changes the resistance value of the device, which can then be used to control various parameters such as gain, cutoff frequency, or voltage. In addition, this type of potentiometer can also be used as a low power variable resistor.

The 68XR500KLFTB trimmer potentiometer is a versatile and reliable device that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its low power requirement, precision adjustment, and adjustable range make it an ideal choice for applications where the precise setting of various parameters is required. Due to its rugged construction, the 68XR500KLFTB is also suitable for use in harsh conditions, such as in military and aerospace applications.
