Selection of CTS rotary potentiometers

Rotary Potentiometers

Potentiometers are variable resistors that are used to manually adjust electric resistance in a circuit. Functioning as variable voltage dividers, potentiometers offer reliable voltage control and enable the fine-tuning of electrical seetings in countless applications.

CTS industrial-grade potentiometers are marked by their high quality, robustness, and reliability. With several material and design options available, these products can be adapted to fit a wide range of applications and operational environments.

CTS trimmer potentiometers

Trimmer Potentiometers

CTS trimmer potentiometers are miniature adjustable electrical components designed to be set and not regularly adjusted. They can be positioned on a setting to "trim" the value of a resistor in order to provide an exact gain, output voltage, or current. They are common in precision circuitry like A/V components, calibrating instruments and setting the bias current on power amplifiers. Trimmer potentiometers are mounted directly on circuit boards, set with a small screwdriver and designed for few adjustments during operation.
