Trimmer Potentiometers

Trimmer potntiometers are variable resistors used for tuning, calibration, and adjustment in electronic and industrial applications. They are commonly found in electronic equipment such as radios, televisions, and instrumentation panels. The most common type of trimmer potentiometer is the three-terminal, three-position configuration with a shaft mounted on the side.

The PV36X202A01B00 is a three-terminal, three-position trimmer potentiometer. It is an adjustable resistive element used for fine-tuning and adjustment of electrical circuitry and devices. It has an adjustable wiper arm that slides across a resistive element to change resistance and current level, while two fixed contacts indicate the lower and upper limits. There are also three non-adjustable terminals used for power, ground, and output.

Application Field and Working Principle

The PV36X202A01B00 trimmer potentiometer is typically used in adjustable voltage regulation circuits and adjustable power supplies. It is also used in radio frequency measurements, load regulation, and frequency response measurements. The applications are extended to temperature control and voltage regulation.

The working principle of the PV36X202A01B00 trimmer potentiometer is based on the concept of an adjustable voltage divider. When the wiper arm is moved along the resistive element, a voltage divider circuit is created with the fixed end points providing the lower and upper voltage limits. This voltage divider circuit is then used to adjust the voltage across the trimmer potentiometer to attain the desired voltage.

The multi-turn trimmer potentiometer uses an adjustable wiper arm that is connected to a threaded shaft. The user can turn the shaft to adjust the resistance and fine-tune the voltage. As the wiper is adjusted, the voltage across the trimmer also changes, and the user can observe the changes using a voltmeter.

The single-turn trimmer potentiometer, on the other hand, uses a linear sliding arm to adjust the resistance and voltage. As the wiper arm moves along the resistive element, the voltages across the trimmer potentiometer change. This type of trimmer potentiometer is suitable for applications where a fine adjustment with a relatively wide range of voltage is required.

In both types of trimmer potentiometers, the terminal at one end is connected to the ground, while the output terminal is connected to the device being powered. The terminal in the middle is connected to the wiper arm and acts as the adjusting terminal. When the adjusting terminal is moved, the voltage across the trimmer changes, thereby adjusting the power supplied to the device.

The PV36X202A01B00 trimmer potentiometer has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is available in a 0.020” x 0.020” lead spacing. It is RoHS compliant and is available in a number of resistance values, from 10K ohm to 100K ohm. The trimmer potentiometer is most suitable for applications where fine adjustment and wide range of resistance are required.
