Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer, also known as a trim pot, trimpot, preset, or variable resistor, is a small potentiometer which is used for adjusting circuit parameters during manufacture. By adjusting the potentiometer, the user can alter the resistance in the circuit. It is often used to set the bias levels of analog circuits and the operating characteristics of digital circuits, such as gain, offset, and linearity.
