Trimmer Potentiometers
Trimmer potentiometers, also known as trimpots, or simply trim pots, are variable resistors with built-in adjustment knobs or sliders. They are used for adjusting electrical current or voltage in circuits. The most common type of trimmer potentiometer is the rotating resistive element known as a trimpot.

PV32H100A02B00 Working Principle
A trimmer potentiometer works by varying the resistance between two external points. This is accomplished by adjusting a long, thin strip of material (usually carbon or conductive plastic) which is connected to a knob or slider. When the knob or slider is moved, the strip is bent, changing the relative distance between the two external points. This in turn changes the resistance.
Trimmer potentiometers are incredibly precise and accurate devices. They can be adjusted with a very high degree of accuracy, and are therefore ideal for applications where precise adjustments are needed. Another advantage is that they are relatively small and compact, so they can be used in confined spaces such as hand-held devices or inside portable devices.
