100k Ohm Linear Taper Rotary Potentiometer With Wire Portable
100K potentiometer with wire offers convenient control for various applications, making it ideal for hobbyists, makers, and also DIY enthusiasts on the move.
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, in addition 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: Hence 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 of 100K potentiometer with wire:
- 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 also prototyping
Usage:
However 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. Moreover turning the shaft will increase or decrease the resistance, allowing for fine control over the connected device or signal.
