RJ13SR505

Trimmer Potentiometers

A trimmer potentiometer, also known as a trimpot, is an adjustable resistor which is used to set the operating parameters of electrical circuits. Trimpots are commonly used as user adjustable variables in circuits, such as volume and frequency controls on audio equipment. The trimmer potentiometer can be adjusted by rotating a shaft, knob, or screw post with a screwdriver.

RJ13SR505 application field and working principle

The RJ13SR505 trimmer potentiometer is used in different industrial, automation, and medical applications. It has a low profile long whip style for easy integration into a narrow space. The device has three external terminals which may be connected to the desired adjustable voltage source or to supplied user adjustable components such as variable capacitors. The RJ13SR505 also has a built in resistor, which limits the voltage to less than the nominal value. This helps prevent any over voltage damage to the subsystem.

The working principle of the RJ13SR505 is simple. By rotating the shaft, knob, or screw post of the trimmer potentiometer, the adjustable resistance is changed. This change affects the voltage at the output of the device. The output voltage changes depending on the resistance set by the user.

In addition to its adjustable precision, the RJ13SR505 has a variety of other features. Its non-magnetic construction eliminates any kind of magnetic interference that may impair performance. Also, the device is designed with two self-locking mechanisms, preventing the shaft movement during and after application of adjustment. This makes it ideal for applications in sensitive and critical systems such as medical devices and industrial manufacturing equipment.

Conclusion

The RJ13SR505 is an adjustable trimmer potentiometer which offers a variety of features to suit a wide range of applications. Its adjustable precision makes it a popular choice for use in audio equipment, robotics, medical devices, and more. The self-locking mechanism provides stability and accuracy, eliminating any kind of movement from affecting the performance of the device.
