CT6ER202 Potentiometers, Variable Resistors

Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer, or trimmer pot, is a variable, three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact used for adjusting the resistance within an electrical circuit. Trimmer potentiometers are typically small angle- or flat-turning devices used for adjusting the current or voltage within a circuit, ensuring stability and accuracy, in which the electrical contact is made while the potentiometer is in the tipping position. The CT6ER202 is a trimmer potentiometer used for adjustment of output voltage, temperature, pressure, current and other parameters in electronic control systems.

CT6ER202 Application Field

The CT6ER202 trimmer potentiometer is most commonly used in electric control circuits, such as those in frequency control and tuning applications. It is used for adjusting the frequency or voltage input into electrical devices, circuit parameters for motor speed control, and as a voltage reference for crystal-controlled systems. The trimmer potentiometer can also be used in home appliances, such as air conditioners and washing machines, for controlling the temperature, water level, and other operating parameters.

CT6ER202 Working Principle

The working principle of the CT6ER202 trimmer is relatively simple. When a certain set point is delivered to the trimmer pot, its contact slides to the appropriate position. This ensures that the current or voltage output is within the required tolerance band. The output of the trimmer pot is adjusted with a screwdriver, which alters the value of the resistance and thus changes the voltage or current output. Once the desired adjustment is achieved, the screw is locked in place.

Benefits of the CT6ER202

The CT6ER202 trimmer potentiometer offers many benefits, such such as high stability and accuracy, and its small size and low price make it ideal for small-scale electronic control systems. Additionally, the trimmer\'s wide operational temperature range ensures reliable operation in all environmental conditions. With its superior design, the CT6ER202 also offers greater protection against dust, dirt, and water, as well as a longer product life.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CT6ER202 trimmer potentiometer is a versatile and cost-effective solution for adjusting voltage, current, and parameters in electric control systems. This trimmer potentiometer offers a wide working temperature range and superior protection against dust, dirt, and water. It is suitable for a number of different applications, such as frequency control and tuning, motor speed control, and as a voltage reference for crystal-controlled systems.
