VISHAY M63 Cermet Trimmer Potentiometer, 10KΩ, Through Hole

The VISHAY Model 63 cermet trimmer is a precision industrial-grade component designed for reliable adjustment in demanding electronic applications. This single-turn potentiometer is available in several pin configurations for top or side adjustment and with a choice of knob styles for finger setting, offering excellent versatility for circuit design and calibration.

Quick adjustment is achieved with a multi-finger wiper contact system. It features a standard resistance range between 100 Ω and 2 MΩ, with this specific model set at a track resistance of 10kΩ and a tolerance of ± 10%. The robust cermet (ceramic-metal) element material ensures stable performance and long-term reliability.

Built to exacting standards, this trimmer offers a 270° electrical and 300° mechanical travel. It is sealed to IP64, providing protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in environments where contamination is a concern. The operating temperature range is a wide -55°C to +125°C, ensuring functionality in extreme conditions.

With a power rating of 500mW and a through-hole mounting style, it is a staple for PCB (printed circuit board) applications requiring a durable and precise variable resistor. Its 3/8 inch square shape is a common industry standard, facilitating easy integration into various designs.
