Tips from Bourns on using trimming potentiometers. Link here (PDF) Potentiometers normally have a small region at the extreme ends of the adjustment range where the output is irregular. This can be seen when there is a sudden drop to essentially zero resistance. Alternatively, the change in output will stop at some small residual value […]

Trimpot tutorial
Trimpots are adjustable resistors. They function much the same as regular potentiometers, except they are compact in size and have 0.1″ leads for easy installation on a PCB or breadboard. Learn about all the different kinds in Robot Room’s updated trimpot tutorial. Thanks Frank! Via the contact form.
