PVA2A104A01R00 Datasheet/PDFTrimmer Potentiometers
Trimmer potentiometers are small, adjustable components used to regulate the voltage or current flow in a range of electronic circuits. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are often found in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. The particular model we will be examining is the PVA2A104A01R00.
Application Field
This particular trimmer potentiometer is used predominantly in precision electronic control and adjustments. Their small size allows them to be used in densely packed circuits. The PVA2A104A01R00 is a sealed single turn model with a wirewound element. It is particularly suitable for applications which require both precision and long life, such as automotive audio and telecommunication systems.
Working Principle
Trimmer potentiometers use a resistive element to regulate voltage or current flow. This is achieved by adjusting the position of the resistive track with a screw or knob. This variable resistance creates a voltage or current drop between the two terminals of the component. By altering the position of the resistive track, the voltage or current can be adjusted to exactly what is desired.
The PVA2A104A01R00 uses a wirewound element, meaning the resistive element is constructed from a thin wire. This thin wire is wound onto a spindle, and by adjusting the position of the wire it can alter the amount of resistance the component exhibits. This makes the PVA2A104A01R00 particularly suitable for applications where precise adjustments are required over a long period of time.
The PVA2A104A01R00 is also sealed, meaning that it is protected from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors which would normally reduce its lifespan. This makes it one of the best types of trimmer potentiometers for employment in harsh operating conditions.
Conclusion
The PVA2A104A01R00 trimmer potentiometer is a versatile and reliable component which can be used in a variety of applications. Its sealed wirewound element makes it ideal for precision applications, and its small size allows it to fit in densely packed circuits. For applications which require both precision and longevity, the PVA2A104A01R00 is an excellent choice.
