? about PI balance trimmer

Post by yeahyeah »

So I was looking through the mouser catalog trying to find something for the PI balance trim.

There is high voltage on this trimmer and I couldn't find any rated above 1/2 watt and they are only rated to 250v DC.

Anyone got a part # for something a bit more stout?

The 1/2 watt is fine - it's dropping less than 10 volts (E2/r = .01 watt) at idle. The 1/2 watt is good for more than a 70 volt drop. All the "real thing" pictures I've seen look like 1/2 watt trimmers.
