DIFFERENCE POTENTIOMETER AND TRIMPOT

Before you know the difference potentiometer and trimpot, you first need to know the variable resistor, which is a resistor whose resistance value can be changes. This type of resistor has a minimum-maximum range, so that the resistance value can be set as needed. Here are the kinds of resitor not fixed.

DIFFERENCE POTENTIOMETER AND TRIMPOT

Differences potentiometer and trimpot is as described below: 

Potentiometer 
Consists of a three-terminal potentiometer with a sliding connection which form a voltage divider can be set. The value of the potentiometer can be seen on the body of the potentiometer using code numbers.

In general, the value of a variable potentiometer has a range of 50Ω, 100Ω, 1KΩ, 10KΩ, 20KΩ, 50KΩ, 100KΩ and 1MΩ. The way the value of a variable potentiometer is as follows, for example: if there is a potentiometer has a value of 100 Ω, it means that the value of the potentiometer is a variable value between 0-100 Ω.

In the world of electronics, Potentiometer is typically used to control electronic devices such as sound control on the amplifier. Potentiometer that is operated by a mechanism can be used as a transducer, such as a joystick sensor.

Potentiometer is used as a volume control sometimes equipped with an integrated switch, thus opening the switch when the potentiometer wiper is at the lowest position.

 
Trimpot 
Trimpot is the same type of resistor potentiometer resistance value can be changed, but to change it to be the turning axis using a screwdriver. The value of a trimpot is also equal to the potentiometer can be seen on the body trimpot which is the maximum value of the trimpot resistance. For example trimpot trimpot value 100KΩ then the resistance value can be changed from 0 to 100KΩ.
