Trimmer Potentiometers

Trimmer Potentiometers, occasionally referred to as trimpots, are adjustable, multi-component, multi-turn potentiometers that are commonly used for board level adjustments. They are designed to precisely control a wide range of voltage or resistance settings, generally by utilizing three terminals that allow the user to adjust a wiper in order to affect voltage or resistance changes. This makes them a popular and useful choice for a variety of applications.

PV36X253C01B00 Application Field

The PV36X253C01B00 trimpot is a 3 terminal, 16-turn, 10kohm potentiometer from Panasonic. It is primarily used in the audio-visual and communications industry to aid microprocessor and analog circuits in controlling volumes. This trimpot is a popular choice for applications requiring precision settings in order to limit distortion and interference. It is well suited for a variety of audio, video, computer, instrumentation, and telecommunications assemblies. The PV36X253C01B00 can also be used as a multi curve preset or fine tune to facilitate adjustments.

PV36X253C01B00 Working Principle

This trimmer potentiometer operates through a three terminal taper rotation and uses a rheostat to produce a linear reduction in resistance from maximum to minimum setting. The three terminals are referred to as the left end contact (also referred to as the end contact), the wiper, and the right end contact (also referred to as the end contact). The wiper is moved over the resistive element and makes contact with the resistive element, creating a connection between the left and right end contacts and providing a variable voltage or resistance depending on the position of the wiper. The physical movement is produced by rotating the potentiometer clockwise, which reduces the resistance. This type of trimmer potentiometer is limited to small movements of a few degrees, and therefore adjusts small changes easily.
