SM-3 FROM COPAL:
THE SMALLEST 11-TURNS
SMD TRIMMER


COPAL ELECTRONICS offers the smallest SMD trimmer with 11 turns, and it is fully compliant with RoHS/WEEE directives.



Is saving space an important consideration for your application? Is the ability to perform precision adjustments also an absolute must?

If so, the SM-3 measuring a mere 3.9mm x 3.9mm x 3.2mm is the ideal solution, e.g., for applications such as the very smallest of sensors, security systems, satellite receivers, AC/DC converters and many more.

  This new trimmer from COPAL ELECTRONICS fully meets the market's demand for ultra-miniaturization, at the same time enabling precision adjustments to an extent previously available only in larger devices!

What's more, the SM-3's flat construction enables ease of use for pick and place operations.
The resistance values extend from 50? to 2M? with a tolerance of ±20%. The trimmer is top adjusted and is equipped with J-hook connecting leads.

Additional Key Specifications:

• Temperature range: -65°C to + 150°C
• Power rating: 0.125W (at 70°C)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C

COPAL will also be introducing a side adjusted version on the market soon.
