VISHAY M63 Cermet Trimmer Potentiometer 10kΩ Through Hole

The VISHAY M63 cermet trimmer potentiometer offers a 10kΩ track resistance in a single-turn, through-hole format for circuit adjustment and calibration.

Overview

The VISHAY M63 is a cermet (ceramic-metal) trimmer potentiometer designed for adjustment in demanding electronic applications. It is available in several pin configurations for top or side adjustment, and with a choice of knob styles for finger setting. Quick adjustment is achieved with a multi-finger wiper contact system, and the cermet element material is described as providing stable performance over the long term.

Key Features

• Single-turn trimmer type
• Cermet element material
• Top finger adjust (configurations available)
• 270° electrical travel and 300° mechanical travel
• Sealed to IP64, providing protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction
• Through-hole mounting style

Electrical Performance

This model is set at a track resistance of 10kΩ, within a standard resistance range of 100 Ω to 2 MΩ. The resistance tolerance is ± 10%, the temperature coefficient is ± 100ppm/°C, and the power rating is 500mW.

Physical and Environmental

The operating temperature range is -55°C to +125°C. The overall dimensions are 3.3 (width) x 1.5 (depth) x 4.3 (height), as supplied, and the product weighs 10 gm. The sealing rating makes the trimmer suitable for environments where contamination is a concern.

Applications

The trimmer is intended for PCB (printed circuit board) applications that require a durable and precise variable resistor, and it is suitable for circuit design and calibration work.

Choose the VISHAY M63 10kΩ trimmer potentiometer when a through-hole cermet trimmer with IP64 sealing and a 10kΩ track resistance is required for PCB circuit adjustment.
