monotonic, least of my worries
who cares where is it, when I'm able to set what I want?
quality of resistive layer, quality of transition contact, longevity .......... yes
but monotonicity
datasheet written by some regular audiophool?

I have noticed sometimes during adjustments that the trimmer seems to behave a bit differently than expected. Likely it was caused by changing thermal conditions but perhaps it's possible I hit one of these 'dips'. But as long as there aren't discontinuities, it's all good.
The tempco and stability of these parts are quite nice; I consider the monotonicity a bonus. 🙂 I stumpled upon them when I was shopping for (cheap) trimmers and noticed these low tempco parts.
When I get some free time (hah!) I might just measure one of the cheap trimmers I normally use to see how far from 'ideal' it is (and see if that drawing for the cermet is a gross exaggeration 🙂 )
Cheers,
Dennis
