Vishay Introduces New 3/8-Inch Square Cermet Trimmer for Industrial Applications
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced the release of the Vishay Sfernice M61. This compact 3/8-inch square single-turn cermet trimmer is designed to suit industrial needs and is offered with an extended shaft, cross-slot rotor, or knob for easy manual adjustment. It’s available in various pin configurations with top or side adjustment options so as to suit different PCB layouts.
The M61 features a wide resistance range of 10 Ω to 2 MΩ, with a low temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C, and this ensures high stability even in changing environmental conditions. Operating over a temperature range from -55 °C to +125 °C, the trimmer is fully sealed, so it can endure standard board wash processes. It delivers a 0.5 W power rating at 85 °C, making it a good pick for use in welding equipment, power tools, 3D printers, and HVAC systems. Samples as well as production units are available for purchase now, with lead times of 15 weeks.
