BOURNS PV36 Series 10kΩ Cermet Multi-Turn Trimmer Potentiometer

The BOURNS PV36 Series multi-turn trimmer potentiometer is a precision electronic component designed for accurate and stable resistance adjustment in circuit tuning applications. Featuring a robust cermet resistive element and a sealed, lead-sealed construction, it delivers high reliability and long-term stability across a wide operating temperature range. This side-adjust model with inline leads is engineered for through-hole mounting, making it suitable for manual calibration and fine-tuning in a variety of electronic assemblies.

With a resistance value of 10kΩ (denoted by the 103 code), this trimmer offers 25 turns of adjustment, allowing for extremely precise setting of resistance levels. Its multiturn design provides superior resolution compared to single-turn trimmers, which is critical for sensitive calibration tasks in test equipment, audio devices, and control systems. The component is fully RoHS compliant, meeting contemporary environmental standards for electronic manufacturing.
