Digital Potentiometers (Surface Mount) | Compact electronics (audio, industrial controls) | Industry Standard: ±25% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±20% Tolerance (IEC 60063) ▲ Our Advanced: ±10% Tolerance (IEC 60063) ▲▲ | Compact form factor (reduces PCB space), EPR compliance (Germany/France), programmable resistance | ±20% tolerance may limit precision-critical applications, requires soldering expertise |
Trimmer Potentiometers | Fine-tuning adjustments (audio, sensors) | Industry Standard: ±10% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±10% Tolerance ▲ Our Advanced: ±5% Tolerance ▲▲ | Manual adjustment flexibility, cost-effective for low-volume applications | Mechanical wear over time, less precise than digital variants |
Rotary Potentiometers | User-adjustable settings (volume controls) | Industry Standard: ±20% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±20% Tolerance ▲ Our Advanced: ±15% Tolerance ▲▲ | Durable mechanical design, user-friendly interface | Larger footprint, slower response compared to digital alternatives |
Analog Potentiometers | General-purpose circuits (non-digital systems) | Industry Standard: ±10% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±10% Tolerance ▲ Our Advanced: ±5% Tolerance ▲▲ | Simple integration, low cost | Mechanical wear, limited precision for high-accuracy applications |
High-Precision Digital Potentiometers | Lab equipment, medical devices | Industry Standard: ±5% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±20% Tolerance (not recommended for this category) | Ultra-precise adjustments, programmable | High cost, complex setup requirements |
Low-Cost Digital Potentiometers | Budget electronics (consumer devices) | Industry Standard: ±30% Tolerance (IEC 60063) Our Base: ±20% Tolerance (IEC 60063) ▲ Our Advanced: ±25% Tolerance (prioritizes cost over precision) | Affordable price point, space-efficient | Lower precision (±20% tolerance), limited customization options |
