TC42X-2-684E

Trimmer Potentiometers are electronic components that are used to alter a circuit\'s resistance. They come in two varieties, rotary and linear. The TC42X-2-684E is a rotary type Trimmer Potentiometer. It is a single-turn, through-hole device with an adjustable resistance between its two terminals and mechanical end stops.

Trimmer Potentiometers have multiple applications in a variety of electronic components and systems. They are commonly used in audio and video equipment, measuring instruments, temperature-controlled systems, industrial sensors and RF-broadcast filters. Their characteristic resistance adjustment allows for precise, repeatable tuning of circuit parameters.

The TC42X-2-684E features a resistance range of 2.5 ohms to 684 ohms with a tolerance of ±20%. It also has an insulation resistance of 400M ohms, a maximum current rating of 300mA, and a total rotation angle of 300 degrees. Its compressed stem design allows secure mounting on a circuit board; and its low-slip torque construction optimizes adjustment.

The TC42X-2-684E operates on the principle of varying resistance. As the wiper or slider on the potentiometer is moved left to right, the resistance decreases. As the wiper or slider is moved in the opposite direction, the resistance increases. This change in resistance creates a variable voltage divider, allowing an input voltage to be divided into two different output voltages.

The TC42X-2-684E is a valuable component of electronic circuits, providing adjustable resistance in a variety of applications. Its tight tolerance and low-slip torque construction offer precise tuning of circuit resistance, while its through-hole design and compressed stem make it easy to mount and maintain. The TC42X-2-684E is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
