CT6H202

Trimmer potentiometers are a type of variable resistor that are used to make adjustable electrical circuits. The CT6H202 trimmer potentiometer is a three-terminal adjustable resistor with two end terminals that are connected to a central wiper terminal. The resistance of the circuit is determined by adjusting the amount of resistance between each of the two outside legs and the wiper terminal. The trimmer potentiometer is commonly used in applications such as motor speed control, LED brightness control, electronic circuit tuning and acoustics adjustment.

The CT6H202 trimmer potentiometer is a non-inductive device with a resistivityof 600 ohms and a power rating of 0.5 watts. It is often used for applications where a precise amount of adjustment is desired. The trimmer potentiometer\'s high sensitivity and low thermal drift make it ideal for use in precision adjustment applications. The CT6H202 is typically available in sizes of 1/10th of an inch and has a temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.

The working principle of a trimmer potentiometer, such as the CT6H202, involves adjusting the resistance of the circuit by turning the two outside legs with respect to the wiper terminal. As the two legs move with respect to the wiper terminal, the resistance of the circuit changes accordingly. By adjusting the amount of resistance between each leg and the wiper terminal, the amount of current flowing through the circuit can be changed. This can be used to adjust the speed of a motor, the brightness of an LED, or the tuning of an electronic circuit.

The CT6H202 trimmer potentiometer has a wide array of uses in fields such as motor speed control, LED brightness control, astro-spectroscopy, electronic circuit tuning and acoustics adjustment. These applications are examples of where the precise adjustment of electrical current is required. The device is ideal for these applications due to its high sensitivity and low thermal drift.
