1K Trimpot RM065 Mini Semi-Adjustable Potentiometer 6mm

RM065 series trimpots (trimmer potentiometers) are small, adjustable resistance components typically soldered onto PCBs. They are used for fine-tuning in electronic circuits.

General Specifications

• Type: Single-turn trimpot
• Mounting Style: Vertical or horizontal (typically vertical)
• Pin Count: 3 pins (2 ends + 1 wiper)
• Adjustment Method: Top or side adjustment via screwdriver
• Body Size: Approx. 6 mm × 6 mm
• Power Rating: Typically 0.1W – 0.25W
• Resistance Range: 100 Ω to 1 MΩ (varies by model)
• Tolerance: Usually ±20%

Common Applications

• Fine voltage or current adjustment
• Sensor calibration
• Timing circuits (e.g., RC timers)
• Reference voltage tuning
• Input signal sensitivity control

Advantages

• Compact size, saves board space
• Low cost and widely available
• Ideal for simple, low-power circuits

Disadvantages

• Limited precision due to single-turn design
• Possible oxidation over time at contact points
