PVG5A105C03R00

Trimmer potentiometers represent a class of device offering adjustable resistance by way of a rotating actuator that can be manually adjusted and secured with a set screw. PVG5A105C03R00 is a micro-miniature trimmer potentiometer used widely in a variety of consumer, medical, and industrial applications. This 55° angle trimmer is smaller than traditionaltrimmer types, measuring just 6.35mm x 3.9mm.

Application Field

The small form factor of the PVG5A105C03R00 makes it an ideal solution for use in hand-held or wearable devices. Its wide range of operation and long travel life guarantee reliable operation in applications requiring precision adjustment. These trimmers offer useful solutions for applications such as tuning radio channels, adjusting clock radio alarms, and setting brightness and other sensory parameters of displays. Due to its compact size and design capability, PVG5A105C03R00s also find application in audio systems, gaming systems, environmental controls, and car accessories, among a host of others.

Working Principle

The PVG5A105C03R00 is a linear-style trimmer potentiometer where aresistive film element is stretched between two fixed ends and an adjustable centerpoint. The element is embedded between a board and a resistive foam and the full track of the element is secured with a lid. Rotation of the actuator changes the centerpoint of the element which adds a voltage to the respective section of the track. This voltage is in direct proportion to the angular position of the actuator.

The resistance of this trimmer varies from 1 103 Ω (minimum/maximum) and the given accuracy is ±30%±50Ω. The device has a maximum power rating of 0.1W and is designed to operate over a temperature range from -25°C to 85°C. PVG5A105C03R00 uses a standard E-ring mounting and it is sold in bags and tape-and-reel.
