100K Ohm Linear Taper Rotary Potentiometer With Wire Portable
Electrical Specifications:
- Resistance: 100,000 Ohms (100K Ohm)
- Tolerance: Typically ±10% or ±20%
- Taper: Linear (resistance changes uniformly with the rotation angle)
Mechanical Specifications:
- Rotation Angle: Usually around 270 degrees (can vary by model)
- Shaft Length: Commonly between 15mm to 20mm, sometimes longer depending on design
- Shaft Type: Often knurled or slotted for better grip and ease of turning
Construction:
- Body Material: Often made from a combination of metal and plastic
- Shaft Material: Usually metal, sometimes with a plastic knob
- Mounting Type: Panel mount, typically secured with a nut and washer
Connections:
- Terminals: Three terminals for connection (two outer terminals for the ends of the resistor, and one middle terminal for the adjustable wiper)
- Wiring: Comes with attached wires for easier integration into circuits
Features:
- Portability: Compact and lightweight, suitable for portable applications
- Durability: Designed to withstand multiple rotations and rough usage
- Versatility: Can be used in various applications such as volume control, dimming lights, and adjusting signals in electronic circuits
Applications:
- Audio Equipment: Volume and tone controls
- Lighting: Dimmer switches for LEDs and other light sources
- Instrument Controls: Adjusting signal levels in measurement and test instruments
- DIY Projects: Ideal for hobbyists and prototyping
Usage:
To use the potentiometer, connect the outer two terminals to the circuit where you want to control resistance. The middle terminal (wiper) will provide a variable resistance based on the rotation of the shaft. Turning the shaft will increase or decrease the resistance, allowing for fine control over the connected device or signal.
