TC86K-1-501

Trimmer potentiometers are a type of adjustable resistors, so named because they are typically used in applications to adjust levels - such as volume, frequency, temperature and so forth. A trimmer potentiometer, or trimpot, is designed to be adjusted with a handheld tool and can provide precision settings that allow fine-tuning of a device\'s performance in accordance with the application requirement.

The TC86K-1-501 is a trimmer potentiometer designed for use in a wide variety of industrial, automotive, and health care applications. Its main attributes are that it is capable of precise voltage adjustment, fast settling, and low temperature coefficient – all of which are requirements of many of the aforementioned applications.

The TC86K-1-501 has a wide range of applicability due to its enhanced performance. It is well suited for applications such as frequency and voltage control in switching power supplies, adjustable current limiters, adjustable current sources, and temperature and frequency compensators. It is also used in medical equipment and in automotive applications, such as power window regulators and windshield wiper motors.

The TC86K-1-501 is a rotary type trimmer potentiometer consisting of a body, a shaft and a contact wiper. The body is constructed from a conductive material with a PEEK insulation. The shaft and contact wiper are both constructed from stainless steel and are secured into the body by a locking screw. The wiper is in contact with the resistive element which is made up of the four printed circuits laid down on the isolation dielectric.

The rotary motion of the contact wiper causes the resistance between the left and right terminals of the device to vary linearly. A standard set of screws (or “pads”) are provided on the side of the body which allow the linear resistance variation to be calibrated to the user’s specific requirements.

The TC86K-1-501 is equipped with a mechanical limit stop which can be used to limit the extent of rotational movement of the potentiometer’s shaft, thus allowing a user to set a maximum and minimum acceptable range of variation. The mechanical limit stop can typically handle up to 50 revolutions of the shaft and can be adjusted to suit specific application requirements.

The TC86K-1-501 is a very high performance trimmer potentiometer which has been designed for use in a wide variety of industrial, automotive and medical applications. It provides accurate and reliable voltage adjustment in a wide range of operating environments and is extremely well suited for applications such as current limiters, current sources and temperature and frequency compensators.
