Trimpot (short for trimming potentiometer) is a small, adjustable electrical component used to calibrate, tune, or adjust circuits. It's a type of potentiometer, but it's designed specifically for occasional adjustments rather than frequent user interaction.
Resistance value:20k ohm 203
Adjustable Resistance: Like all potentiometers, it changes resistance, typically in different range
Adjusted with a Screwdriver: Instead of a knob, trimpots have a small screw slot for precise tuning.
Used for Calibration: Often found in circuits where fine-tuning is required during manufacturing or maintenance (e.g., adjusting sensitivity, voltage, or timing).
Compact Size: Designed to be mounted on PCBs and left mostly untouched once set.
