MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the launch of its TSM3 series multi-turn, surface-mount cermet trimmers, targeting applications in industrial, consumer, and telecom sectors where space and ruggedness are crucial.
The TSM3 series features a compact 3 mm by 4 mm by 4 mm design, touting a 25% smaller case size compared to prior generations. Engineered for exceptional durability, these trimmers operate across an extensive temperature range from -65 °C to +150 °C and are fully sealed with IP67-rated protection, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
One of the standout capabilities of the TSM3 is its fine-tuning potential, accommodating a wide resistance range of 10 Ω to 2 MΩ. Offering a faster setting time than single-turn counterparts, the trimmers enhance precision while supporting diverse design requirements with both top- and side-adjustment options. Additionally, the devices feature a 0.125 W power rating at +70 °C, providing flexibility for a broad range of systems.
Vishay’s new trimmers are designed to integrate seamlessly into automated PCB assembly lines, reducing production time and costs. Their robust build enables compatibility with standard board washing processes. The company highlights their suitability for automation controls, sensors, robotics, power tools, welding and cooling systems, smoke detectors, radios, and precision testing instrumentation.
With the introduction of the TSM3 series, Vishay continues to address the need for high-performance, space-saving components that can withstand harsh environmental conditions across various industries.
