R Ronaldliem New Member Apr 13, 2012 #1 I have to adjust 0V to 9.1V (from zener), Is it possible 350mA thru small VR?, thanks in advanced.
ronsimpson Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member Apr 13, 2012 #2 I have a variable resistor that weighs 5 pounds. I think it will handle 350mA. It will handle 10 amps. 9.1 volts X 350mA = 3.2 watts You need a 26 ohm, 5 watt trimpot. CTS Electrocomponents Part number 026TB32R250B1A1 Maybe I don't know what you are trying to do. There are better ways to make 0 to 9 volts.

C colin55 Well-Known Member Apr 13, 2012 #3 Trim pots are not designed to take any current at all. A circuit is very poorly designed if the pot or trim pot takes any current. You need to take a course to learn electronics. Last edited: Apr 13, 2012
