Trimmer Potentiometers are a versatile type of electronic component that are used for controlling the adjustable resistance output between two stages. They are also commonly used as a voltage or current regulator. The TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer is a great example of a potentiometer and its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer is designed for use in a variety of different applications. It is a single turn trimmer that can be used for setting, tuning and calibrating electronic circuits, such as power supplies, amplifier circuits, audio systems, synthesizer circuits, video amplifiers and more. It is also used for controlling the resistance levels of motors, turning watch adjustments and for controlling analog-to-digital converters. In addition, it can also be used for digital-to-analog conversion in advanced audio systems.

Working Principle

The TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer works in the same manner as a standard potentiometer, the main difference being the adjustment. Whereas a standard potentiometer has an adjusting knob on the end that can be turned to vary the resistance output, the trimmer version is adjusted with a small bead that is moved along a track in a circular motion. This is referred to as potentiometer adjustment as it uses an adjusting wheel to changes its resistance output.

The TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer consists of a three terminal arrangement, namely the source terminal, the wiper and the output terminal. The source and output terminals are fixed and the wiper moves within a track which affects the resistance between the two terminals. The resistance of the trimmer is determined by the distance of the wiper from the source terminal. Turning the wheel on the trimmer moves the wiper closer or further away from the source terminal, thus changing the resistance between the two terminals.

When the trimmer is adjusted correctly, the resistance between the two terminals should match the required voltage or current needed for powering an electronic circuit. Thus, as the resistance increase or decrease, so does the voltage and current passing through the circuit.

Conclusion

The TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer is a great example of a potentiometer that is used in a variety of different applications. It has a three terminal arrangement and is adjusted via a small bead that is moved along a track in a circular motion. Its adjustable resistance output can be used for setting, tuning and calibrating electronic circuits, as well as for controlling motors and analog-to-digital converters. As such, the TC86K-1-202 Trimmer Potentiometer is a versatile and widely used trimmer.
