RM065 1M Variable Resistor Trimpot (Pack of 5)

1M ohm Trimpot RM065 Package is a type of variable resistor, It can be easily mounted on PCB and adjusted using screw driver.

Key Features:

1. Resistance Value: 1M ohms (1,000,000 ohms).
2. Type: Single-turn, through-hole mount trimmer potentiometer.
3. Adjustment: Screwdriver slot for adjustment, typically adjusted with a small flathead screwdriver.
4. Package: RM065 package, which is a standard package size for trimpots, ensuring compatibility with various circuit boards.
5. Taper: Linear, meaning the resistance changes at a constant rate as the trimpot is adjusted.
6. Power Rating: Typically around 0.1W to 0.5W, depending on the manufacturer.
7. Tolerance: Usually ±10% to ±20%, which defines the accuracy of the resistance value.
8. Temperature Coefficient: Often ±250 ppm/°C, indicating how much the resistance changes with temperature.
9. Dimensions: Compact size, typically around 5mm x 5mm body with leads for through-hole mounting.
10. Material: Often made with cermet or carbon composite elements, providing durability and stability.

Applications:

• Calibration: Used in circuits that require fine-tuning and calibration of high resistance values, such as in sensor calibration.
• Voltage Adjustment: Helps in adjusting the voltage levels in high impedance circuits.
• Signal Conditioning: Used in adjusting signal levels in high-impedance amplifiers and other signal processing circuits.
• Timing Circuits: Can be used to set time constants in high resistance RC (resistor-capacitor) timing circuits.

Physical Characteristics:

• Mounting Type: Through-hole, making it suitable for traditional PCB designs.
• Adjustment Mechanism: Top-adjust or side-adjust versions, allowing for flexible design and easy access during adjustments.
• Stability: Provides stable performance over a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions.

Usage Notes:

• Installation: Ensure proper orientation and soldering to avoid damage.
• Adjustment: Use a non-metallic screwdriver to avoid short circuits during adjustment.
• Handling: Handle with care to avoid mechanical stress which can affect performance.
