Vishay 63 Series 5kΩ Cermet Trimmer, 1 Turn, Through Hole

The Vishay 63 Series is an industrial-grade, single-turn cermet trimmer potentiometer designed for reliable performance in demanding electronic applications. It offers a standard resistance value of 5 kΩ with a tolerance of ±10%, and a wide resistance range from 100 Ω to 2 MΩ is available across the series.

Engineered for precision adjustment, this top-adjust trimmer features a multi-finger wiper contact for quick and stable setting. It provides 300° of mechanical travel over a single 270° electrical turn. The robust cermet (ceramic-metal) element ensures stable performance and a long operational life.

Built to industrial specifications, it is sealed to IP64 standards, offering protection against dust ingress and water splashes. It is qualified to MIL-R-22097, indicating its suitability for high-reliability military and industrial applications. The trimmer operates reliably across an extreme temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.

The compact 3/8-inch square form factor and through-hole mounting make it ideal for printed circuit board (PCB) integration where space is at a premium. With a power rating of 500 mW and a temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C, it delivers consistent performance under varying electrical and environmental conditions. This trimmer is a versatile component perfect for calibration, tuning, and adjustment circuits in a wide array of electronic devices.
