Why Choose This Product

• The listed parameters allow selection based on resistance value, tolerance, voltage limit, and power dissipation.
• The vertical design with a top adjustment axis allows tuning from above after mounting on the board.
• The 5 mm pin pitch makes it easy to verify suitability for a specific design or replacement.
• Various resistance values enable use in different types of adjustment circuits.

Installation and Operation Guidelines

• Before mounting, verify the compatibility of the resistance value, pin pitch, and mechanical design with your application.
• During soldering, avoid excessive thermal stress on the casing and pins.
• Perform adjustments using a suitable tool, without applying excessive force to the adjustment mechanism.
• Mounting and wiring into electrical equipment should be performed by a person with knowledge of electronic circuits.

Safety Warnings

• Do not exceed the maximum voltage of 50 V DC or power dissipation of 0.1 W.
• Incorrect wiring or overloading can cause overheating, component damage, or failure of the connected circuit.
• Do not mount or modify the component in a live circuit.
• Before putting the device into operation, check the circuit wiring polarity, mechanical seating, and the quality of solder joints.
