Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer, also known as a trim pot, is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotary contact used to manually adjust the resistance in a circuit. Trim pots can be used to adjust anything from the resistance in a circuit to the predefined values of components.

PVG5H105C03B00 Application Field and Working Principle

The PVG5H105C03B00 is a precision-machined trimmer potentiometer with excellent linearity, made with an advanced ceramic technology for superior temperature stability. It is ideal for applications such as precision controls, or to adjust the peak frequency of transistors and other components, as well as for setting reference voltages.

In terms of working principle, the PVG5H105C03B00 trim pot serves as a variable resistor with a sliding contact that can be adjusted to set the resistance to a specific value. The resistance between the two extreme points can be adjusted in a wide range for linearity and even for nonlinear applications. When the slider or rotary contact is moved, the resistance value is adjusted correspondingly. The slider can be adjusted manually with a screwdriver, or remotely controlled with an actuator.

The PVG5H105C03B00 precision trimmer is constructed with a three-terminal system which includes two fixed (or static) terminals and one adjustable terminal. The two fixed terminals are connected with the resistor and serve as the reference points, while the adjustable terminal is connected to the element which is adjusted to change the resistor value.

In terms of performance, the PVG5H105C03B00 provides superior linearity and temperature stability, with a lifetime of up to 1000 cycles. It also provides outstanding electrical impedance stability, optimized balance between contact resistance and noise, fast settling time, and superior peak frequency characteristics.

The PVG5H105C03B00 is the ideal trimmer potentiometer for precision controls in various applications. Its superior manufacturing techniques, as well as its ideal performance characteristics, make it well-suited for any application requiring robust, reliable, and accurate resistance adjustments.
