Bourns Trimpot® Trimming Potentiometers

Bourns® Trimpot® Trimming potentiometers perform a variety of circuit adjustments in all types of electronic equipment. The variety of physical configurations available and the ability to withstand today's manufacturing environment offers the designer flexibility in selecting the best trimmer for the application.

A potentiometer is a manually adjustable, variable resistor with three terminals. Two terminals are connected to a resistive element, the third terminal is connected to an adjustable wiper. The position of the wiper determines the output voltage.

There are different types of potentiometers available to withstand today's manufacturing environment and offer the designer flexibility in selecting the best trimmer for the application. Typical applications include: measuring linear distance, angles or rotations in production equipment, industrial test and measurement equipment, and medical equipment (low/medium risk* medical devices).

If your business is looking for superior reliability due to harsh environments and long service life, Bourns offers military qualified trimming potentiometers.
