A trimmer or preset is a miniatur adjustable electrical component. It is meant to be ordered aright when installed in whatever device, and never seen or keyed by the device’s user. Trimmers can be potentiometers or varco (variable capacitors – trimmable inductors subsist but are rattling uncommon). They are ordinary in exactitude circuitry similar to A/V components, and may need to be adjusted when the equipment is serviced. Unlike some another variable controls, trimmers are mounted direct on circuit boards, overturned with a small screwdriver and rated for some less adjustments over their lifetime.
Trimmers become in a difference of sizes and levels of precision; for example, multi-turn cut potentiometers exist, in which it takes individual turns of the fitting propellor to accomplish the modify value, allowing for rattling broad degrees of accuracy.
In 1952, Marlan Bourns patented the world’s prototypal cut potentiometer, trademarked “Trimpot”, a study today commonly consumed to intend to some cut potentiometer.
