Trimmer Potentiometers are essential components in electrical systems, used to control the amount of voltage and current. TC42X-2-101E is a popular trimmer potentiometer used in a variety of application fields. This article explores the application field and working principle of this specific trimmer potentiometer.

What is a trimmer potentiometer?

Trimmer potentiometers, also known as trim pots, are electronic components which act like adjustable resistors. These are potentiometers, meaning they are three-terminal devices consisting of a resistive element made from a resistive material and an actuator (variable element) which turns the resistance up or down. They are normally used as adjustable resistors to set specific voltage or current levels in an electrical circuit. Trim pots are designed to be fine-tuned during product assembly, or for ongoing maintenance after the product is assembled. They are available in various forms, shapes and sizes, and are essential components in many types of electronics.

TC42X-2-101E Application field

The TC42X-2-101E is a popular trimmer potentiometer used in a variety of electronic devices. It is commonly used in consumer electronics such as TVs, washing machines, air conditioners, computers, etc., and in industrial automation applications and robotic systems. It is also used in automotive control systems, medical devices, LED lighting, and in controlling the flow of water or gas in gas and water meters. Furthermore, it is widely used in precision instrumentation systems, measuring and testing systems, measuring/sensing instruments, and test and measurement applications.

Working Principle and Specifications

The TC42X-2-101E trimmer potentiometer works on a principle of variable resistance-based variable voltage adjustment. It has two terminals, one is the fixed terminal and other is the movable tab which can be rotated to control the resistance. The variable element of the potentiometer is connected in such a way that it can move the movable tab along the resistive element when the actuator is rotated. The resistance across the terminals is then varied as per the amount of the rotation, thus controlling the voltage applied in the circuit. It is rated at 18VDC and has a power rating of 0.75W, resistance range from 0Ω to 10KΩ, and a adjustment type of 2.0mm.

Conclusion

The TC42X-2-101E trimmer potentiometer is a great component when it comes to tuning or setting your circuit\'s voltage and current levels. It is a three-terminal device used to control the amount of voltage and current in electrical circuits. It is used in a wide range of electrical and electronic applications, due to its adjustable resistance features and high power rating. Furthermore, it is relatively compact in size, making it more portable and easier to use in applications such as testing and measuring instruments or consumer electronics.
