Prohibited items and notes in design stage 1. Use within the rating. The affect of the ambient temperature on trimmer potentiometers cannot be ignored. When using at a high temperature, reduce the load according to the Power Derating Curve above. 2. Handling trimmer potentiometers. Take care not to apply excessive stress to a trimmer potentiometer after mounting it to a PCB. 3. Anodisation. When dc is applied to a wiper (terminal 2), anodisation may occur at the contact part of the wiper with the resistive element, resulting in abnormal resistance variation. When dc is used, to prevent anodisation, the resistive element should be connected to the negative side and the wiper should be connected to the positive side, as shown in the figure at right. 2. Prohibited items and notes on handling 1. Storage. Do not store trimmer potentiometers at high temperatures and /or under conditions of high humidity, or in a location where corrosive gas may be generated. In particular, when storing for long periods, do not unpack the trimmer potentiometers and do not store them as a single unit. 2. Operational direction. Since the stopper strength at the rear side is 35mNm, which is smaller than at the front side, operation for adjustment from the front side is recommended. 3. Prohibited items on fire and smoking 1. Absolutely avoid use of a trimmer potentiometer beyond its rated range because doing so may cause a fire. If misuse or abnormal use may result in conditions in which the trimmer potentiometer is used out of its rated range, take proper measures such as current interruption using a protective circuit. 2. The grade of non-flammability for resin used in trimmer potentiometers is "94HB," which is based on UL94 Standards (flammability test for plastic materials). Prohibit use in a location where spreading fire may be generated or prepare against a spreading fire.
