• Motion Control: Trimmer potentiometers are used to control motor speed and direction, as well as to fine-tune motion control devices.
• Automotive: Trimmer potentiometers are used to control various vehicle systems, such as fuel injection and spark timing.
• Industrial Process Control: Trimmer potentiometers are used to control process variables such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and level.

Working Principle

The CT6EP202 Trimmer Potentiometer is a passive device, meaning it requires no external power source in order to function. It works by adjusting the electrical current through the device in various ways. The core principle of the trimmer potentiometer is Ohm’s Law, which states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the ratio of voltage to resistance.

The CT6EP202 Trimmer Potentiometer has three terminals: two input terminals and one output terminal. The two input terminals are labeled A and B. The A terminal is used to measure the input current and the B terminal is used to adjust the resistance. The output terminal is labeled C and is used to measure the output current. When the voltage across A and B is constant, the output current (also known as the transfer current) is proportional to the ratio of resistance between A and B.

The CT6EP202 Trimmer Potentiometer also has a built-in adjustable resistance feature. This allows the user to fine-tune the electrical current through the device. This adjustable resistance is known as the potentiometer resistance and is often represented by the symbol Rp. By adjusting the resistance on the trimmer pot, the user can fine-tune the electrical current flow through the circuit.

The CT6EP202 Trimmer Potentiometer is a versatile and reliable device, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Its wide range of capabilities, low cost, and high precision make it a desirable solution for a variety of industries.
