032223Z – PIHER

The 032223Z, manufactured by PIHER, is a PT10LV series single-turn, carbon composition trimming potentiometer. It features a horizontal mounting configuration, designed for through-hole PCB assembly. The device exhibits a nominal resistance value of 22 kilohms with a specified tolerance, typically ±20%, although this may vary depending on manufacturing lot. The PT10LV series is characterized by its compact form factor and is intended for applications requiring infrequent adjustment. The carbon resistive element provides a cost-effective solution for resistance trimming, but exhibits a higher temperature coefficient and lower long-term stability compared to wirewound or cermet alternatives. The mechanical rotation angle is typically 210° ±10°, with an associated electrical travel of approximately 190° ±20°. The power rating is application-dependent and is generally in the range of 0.1 to 0.25 Watts at 70°C, derating to zero at maximum operating temperature.
