5 mm Square Surface Mount Miniature Trimmers Multi-Turn
Cermet Sealed
DESIGN SUPPORT TOOLS
The TSM4 trimming potentiometer has been designed for
surface mount applications and offers volumetric efficiency
5 mm x 5 mm x 3.7 mm with high performance and stability.
The TSM4 design is suitable for both manual or automatic
operation, and can withstand vapor phase and reflow
soldering techniques.
FEATURES
• 0.25 W at 70 °C
• Professional and industrial grade
• Wide ohmic range (10 to 1 M)
• Low contact resistance variation (2 % or 3 )
• Small size for optimum packaging density
• Tests according to CECC 41000 or IEC 60393-1
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance
