Suntan Trimming Potentiometers Introduction

Suntan Trimming  potentiometer is an electrical component with a variable resistance.


In electrical engineering parlance, the term "potentiometer" is used in either one of two ways. It may refer to an instrument that measures an unknown emf or voltage by comparing it to a standard emf. In this capacity, it is functioning as a null instrument; it permits precision measurement by adjusting a value of a circuit element until a meter reads zero. Alternatively, "potentiometer" may refer to an electronic component that is used to vary resistance in a circuit.

A potentiometer is also referred to as a variable resistor or pot. They have three terminals, where the one in the middle is known as the wiper, and the other two are known as ends. The wiper is a movable contact where resistance is measured with respect to it and either one of the end terminals.

They are useful for circuits where the resistance needs to be dynamically changed to control the current. They are also popular as voltage dividers .

Suntan is a Hong Kong based manufacturer of Trimming Potentiometers of different types. Including SMD Trimming Potentiometers, Rectangular Trimming Potentiometers, Wirewould Trimming Potentiomers, Phenolic Trimming Potentiometers . Please refer to below product image  of Trimming Potentiometers.
