July 2, 2006, Osaka, Japan—Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has succeeded in commercializing the 2 mm square low-profile SMT trimmer potentiometer with the lowest profile in the industry, which is suitable for adjusting circuits in electronic devices.
Product name 2 mm square SMT trimmer potentiometer
Type name EVM2T
Production start July 2006
Price To be confirmed individually (depending on specifications and quantities)
Production capacity 7 million pieces/month
As mobile information and communication terminals, such as mobile phones and notebook PCs, have become more compact with more advanced functions, the need for high-density mounting components have been increasingly growing. Components to be used for such devices are required to feature more compact size and lower-profile.
To meet the market demand, Panasonic Electronic Devices Co., Ltd. has developed the 2 mm square low-profile SMT trimmer potentiometer, which has lowest profile in the industry with high-performance.

[Features]
  1. Lowest-profile in the industry (*1) for making devices thinner
    Height: 0.7 mm (less than 0.75 mm (*2))
                 Approx. 15 % reduction compared with our current models (0.81 mm high)
  2. High-reliability by the use of the metal-glaze resistor
    Operating temperature range: -40 to +100
    Heat resistance load-characteristics: Deviation resistance ±5 %
    Moisture resistance load-characteristics: Deviation resistance ±5 %
