91 Series, Thumbwheel Potentiometers

Thumbwheel potentiometers, also referred to as thumbwheel trim pots, are electronic components designed to enable manual adjustment of the resistance value within an electronic circuit. These potentiometers come with a tactile edge on the actuator, allowing for easy and precise human interaction while indicating the position of the adjustment. Available in both side and top adjustment configurations, thumbwheel potentiometers offer flexibility in terms of how they can be integrated into circuit designs. The tactile edge ensures that users can easily grip and adjust the potentiometer, providing a tangible and convenient interface for making adjustments. Thumbwheel potentiometers are offered in a wide range of resistance values, spanning from 10Ω to 5MΩ, catering to diverse application requirements. Additionally, they exhibit a tolerance range of 5% to 30% of the specified resistance value, ensuring that the actual resistance closely aligns with the intended value. These potentiometers are available in surface mount and through hole mounting configurations, allowing for seamless integration into various types of electronic circuitry. In essence, thumbwheel potentiometers serve as invaluable tools for enabling manual adjustment of resistance values within electronic circuits. Their availability in different adjustment configurations, resistance value ranges, and mounting options makes them suitable for a wide array of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial instrumentation.
