The Vishay 1285G-20k is a high-precision, adjustable trimming potentiometer with a nominal resistance of 20 kΩ. It belongs to Vishay’s 1280G/1285G series of “Bulk Metal® Foil Technology Precision Trimming Potentiometers”
Key features include:
-
Resistance: 20 kΩ (nominal)
-
Technology: Bulk Metal® Foil film for superior stability, low TCR (temperature coefficient of resistance) and excellent long-term drift performance.
-
Package/style: The 1285G series is described as a “¾-inch rectilinear” trimming potentiometer style.
-
TCR and stability: The datasheet indicates very low TCR (±5 ppm/°C typical) and tight tolerance down to ±15 ppm/°C maximum for this series.
-
Adjustment/trimming capability: Designed for high-precision applications where fine adjustment and stability over temperature and time are required (for example, instrumentation, calibration networks, precision amplifiers).
-
Construction: Through-hole trimming potentiometer, Bulk Metal foil element, high performance in terms of noise, drift, and temperature stability.
-
Applications: Suitable for aerospace, instrumentation, metrology, high-precision measurement systems, or any circuit requiring a stable adjustable resistor with minimal change over time and temperature.
