!Note
• Please read rating and !CAUTION (for storage, operating, rating, soldering, mounting and handling) in this catalog to prevent smoking and/or burning, etc.
• This catalog has only typical specifications because there is no space for detailed specifications. Therefore, please approve our product specifications or transact the approval sheet for product specifications before ordering.
■ Notice (Operating and Storage Conditions)
1. Store in temperatures of -10 to +40 deg. C and 
 relative humidity of 30-85%RH.
2. Do not store in or near corrosive gases.
3. Use within six months after delivery. 
4. Open the package just before using.
5. Do not store under direct sunlight.
6. If you use the trimmer potentiometer in an 
 environment other than listed below, please 
 consult with a Murata factory representative prior 
 to using.
 The trimmer potentiometer should not be used under 
 the following environmental conditions:
 (1) Corrosive gaseous atmosphere
 (Ex. Chlorine gas, Hydrogen sulfide gas, Ammonia
 gas, Sulfuric acid gas, Nitric oxide gas, etc.)
 (2) In liquid
 (Ex. Oil, Medical liquid, Organic solvent, etc.)
 (3) Dusty / dirty atmosphere 
 (4) Direct sunlight
 (5) Static voltage nor electric/magnetic fields
 (6) Direct sea breeze
 (7) Other variations of the above
■ Notice (Rating)
1. When using with partial load (rheostat), minimize 
 the power depending on the resistance value.
2. The maximum input voltage to a trimmer 
 potentiometer should not exceed (P.R)^1/2 or the 
 maximum operating voltage, whichever is smaller.
3. The maximum input current to a trimmer 
 potentiometer should not exceed (P/R)^1/2 or the 
 allowable wiper current, whichever is smaller.
■ Notice (Soldering and Mounting)
1. Soldering
 (1) Standard soldering condition
 (a) Flow soldering : 
 >Pre-heating temp. 80-100 deg. C
 >Soldering temp. 260 deg. C max.
 >Soldering time 3 sec. max.
 (b) Soldering iron :
 >Temperature of tip 300 deg. C max.
 >Soldering time 3 sec. max.
 >Wattage of iron 40W max.
 Before using other soldering conditions than
 those listed above, please consult with Murata
 factory representative prior to using. If the
 soldering conditions are not suitable, e.g.,
 excessive time and/or excessive temperature,
 the trimmer potentiometer may deviate from the
 specified characteristics.
 (2) To minimize mechanical stress when adjusting, 
 the trimmer potentiometer should be mounted onto
 PCB without gap. 
 (3) The soldering iron should not come in contact 
 with the case of the trimmer potentiometer. If 
 such contact does occur, the trimmer 
 potentiometer may be damaged.
2. Mounting
 (1) Use PCB hole to meet the pin of the trimmer 
 potentiometer. If the trimmer potentiometer 
 installs into insufficient PCB hole, the 
 trimmer potentimeter may be damaged by 
 mechanical stress. 
 (2) Do not apply excessive force (preferably 9.8N 
 (Ref.; 1kgf) max.), when the trimmer 
 potentiometer is mounted to the PCB.
3. Cleaning
 (1) Isopropyl-alcohol and Ethyl-alcohol are 
 applicable solvents for cleaning. If you use any
 other types of solvents, please consult with a
 Murata factory representative prior to using. 
 (2) The total cleaning time by cold dipping, vapor 
 and ultrasonic washing (conditions as below) 
 method should be less than 3 minutes.
 (3) For ultra-sonic cleaning, the available 
 condition is as follows.
 >Power: 600W (67 liter) max.
 >Frequency: 28kHz
 >Temperature: Ambient temperature
 Due to the ultra-sonic cleaning equipment's 
 peculiar self-resonance point and that the 
 cleaning compatibility usually depends on the jig 
 construction and/or the cleaning condition such 
 as the depth of immersion, please check the 
 cleaning equipment to determine the suitable 
 conditions.
 If the trimmer potentiometer is cleaned by 
 other conditions, the trimmer potentiometer may 
 be damaged.
