Trimmer Potentiometers are sometimes called trimpots and they are a type of adjustable resistor used in electronics for the purpose of adjusting the current levels or voltages in a circuit. ST5ETP101 is an example of a trimmer potentiometer. It is a three-terminal adjustable resistor with an additional tab to provide further adjustments in Voltage.

ST5ETP101 application field and working principle can be understood by breaking it down into its parts:

Application Field

ST5ETP101 is a three-terminal adjustable resistor with an additional tab that serves as a general purpose application in a wide variety of electronic equipment such as Power Supplies, Stabilizers, LCD Monitors, RC Servos, Motors and many more. These same types of trimpots can also be used in radio receivers and transmitters, and instrumentation electronics.

These types of adjustable resistors offer two primary benefits to the user- it can be used to regulate a specific current or voltage with precision and accuracy, and secondly, they allow for a more compact device.

Working Principle

A ST5ETP101 adjustable resistor consists of three terminals – a stable contact, a variable contact and a third tab contact. The stable contact is connected to a voltage source such as a battery and the variable contact is connected to a specific current or voltage. The third tab contact serves as a variable resistor and is used to adjust the current or voltage value in the variable contact.

When the third tab contact is adjusted, the current or voltage value is adjusted in the variable contact. This adjustment is done by changing the resistance between the stable contact and the variable contact. The resistance can be increased or decreased as required and this is how the current or voltage is adjusted.

ST5ETP101 adjustable resistors can also be used to regulate the frequency of an oscillating circuit. By adjusting the resistance between the stable contact and the variable contact, it is possible to change the frequency of the oscillating circuit.

Conclusion

ST5ETP101 is an example of a trimmer potentiometer which is a type of adjustable resistor used in electronics for the purpose of adjusting the current levels or voltage in a circuit. It is a three-terminal adjustable resistor with an additional tab for further Voltage adjustments. This device is used in a wide variety of electronic equipment such as Power Supplies, Stabilizers, LCD Monitors, RC Servos, Motors and many more. It works by adjusting the resistance between the stable contact and the variable contact, which thus regulates the current or voltage, or even the frequency of an oscillating circuit.
