Wiring and use of six-pin double potentiometer

Due to application requirements, some products will need to use six-pin dual potentiometers. This kind of potentiometer is relatively uncommon. How to use it? Today, let's take a look at the wiring method of the six-pin double potentiometer and the precautions for the use of the six-pin double potentiometer.

Six-pin double potentiometer wiring method

As you all know, the current 3-pin single potentiometer is generally used as a single channel to adjust the volume. The wiring is generally grounded at pin 1, then pin 2 (that is, the middle pin) is connected to the output terminal, and pin 3 is connected to the output terminal. Then the 6-pin dual potentiometer is generally used for dual-channel volume adjustment. In fact, the wiring is roughly the same as the wiring principle of the 3-pin single potentiometer. First, the 1 and 4 pins of the six-pin double potentiometer are connected to the ground at the same time. For the 2 pin, it is connected to the left channel output, and the 3 pin is Connect pin 5 to the left channel input, pin 5 to the right channel output, and pin 6 to the right channel input. So everyone should distinguish clearly between the single-connection and double-connection potentiometer wiring methods.

Precautions for the use of six-pin double potentiometer

1. On the wiring of the six-pin double potentiometer, do not connect the wiring between the pins incorrectly, otherwise the use of the previous potentiometer may cause some adjustment failures, and the second is that it may be easy to use. The potentiometer is damaged. Therefore, when operating the potentiometer wiring, pay special attention to the wiring again.

2. When adjusting the rotation of the double potentiometer, do not use too much force to rotate it. Otherwise, the shaft inside the potentiometer will be loosened, which may cause the adjustment of the potentiometer or adjust it all at once. It is very small, or it can be adjusted to a large amount at once.

3. In the installation of the double potentiometer, do not pull too much on the connection of each pin, otherwise it is easy to fall off the pin from the insulating panel of the potentiometer. Therefore, more attention should be paid to all aspects of the installation of the potentiometer.

4. Regarding the use of double potentiometers that can replace single potentiometers, it is possible in principle, but when replacing, please ask relevant technicians to operate and install, so as not to make mistakes when wiring. Wire, which will easily damage the potentiometer.
