2 kΩ 0.5 W ±10% Vertical Multiturn Trimmer Potentiometer – Through-Hole

This multiturn trimmer potentiometer allows resistance to be adjusted more precisely than a conventional single-turn potentiometer.

It features a nominal resistance of 2 kΩ, a tolerance of ±10% and a maximum power rating of 500 mW. Its linear resistance characteristic provides a progressive change in resistance throughout the adjustment range.

The top-access adjustment screw makes calibration easier after installation on a printed circuit board. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for power supplies, control circuits, measuring equipment, amplifiers and other electronic devices.

Its form factor is compatible with potentiometers from the 3296Y, 64W, 67W and T93YB families. Dimensions and terminal layout should be checked before making a direct replacement.

• Terminal 3: opposite resistive element end

It can be used as a voltage divider with all three terminals or as a variable resistor using the wiper and either end terminal.

Recommended applications

• Power supply calibration
• Voltage and current adjustment
• Gain and sensitivity control
• Timing circuits
• Measuring equipment
• Instrumentation and automation
• Amplifiers and audio circuits
• Electronic equipment repair and development

Important note

The 0.5 W rating is the maximum value under the specified conditions for this type of component. Permissible power decreases as temperature rises and also depends on the wiper position.

Before replacing another potentiometer, check its resistance, power rating, terminal arrangement and adjustment screw orientation. Do not force the adjustment screw after reaching the end of its mechanical travel.
