FT63EX103

Trimmer Potentiometers are small adjustable components used in a wide range of electronic circuits for the purpose of controlling voltage and current levels, as well as for calibrating various electronic devices. The FT63EX103 is a trimmer potentiometer designed for applications where variable resistance needs to be adjusted or calibrated. This device is available max. Resistance value of 63k ?, and is suitable for automated production.

FT63EX103 Application Field

The FT63EX103 is designed to be used for a variety of applications where resistance needs to be adjustable or calibrated. It is suitable for use in industrial, automotive, audio/visual, communications, instrumentation, medical, and consumer equipment. This component is also used for circuit testing, burn-in, and calibration purposes.

FT63EX103 Working Principle

The FT63EX103 trimmer potentiometer is a three-terminal device. The first terminal is the wiper (output) which is connected to a fixed contact on the resistance element. The second and third terminals are connected to either end of the resistance element. The resistance value of the trimmer can be adjusted by turning the wheel, which moves the wiper on the resistance element, consequently changing the resistance of the circuit.

When the wheel is turned clockwise, the wiper moves closer to the fixed contact and the resistance value decreases. Conversely, if the wheel is turned counter-clockwise, the wiper moves away from the fixed contact and the resistance value increases. This potentiometer has limited mechanical life because of its trimmer design.

Conclusion

The FT63EX103 trimmer potentiometer combines excellent electrical performance and stability. Its small size, low-cost, and wide range of application fields makes it suitable for use for a variety of applications. Its design allows it to provide precise resistance control and calibration, allowing it to be used in applications where variable resistance needs to be adjusted or calibrated.
