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.
