101 100Ω potentiometer/variable resistor

The 101 100Ω potentiometer is a type of variable resistor with an adjustable resistance value of 100 ohms. It features a rotary knob that allows users to fine-tune the resistance in electronic circuits. This component is commonly used in applications requiring precise control of resistance, such as volume control, calibration, and tuning in various electronic devices.

Key Features:

• Adjustable resistance from 0Ω to 100Ω
• Rotary knob for smooth and precise adjustment
• Compact and robust design
• Suitable for low resistance applications
• Typically used in tuning, calibration, and adjustment tasks

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Range: 0Ω to 100Ω
• Resistance Tolerance: ±20% (standard tolerance; may vary by manufacturer)
• Power Rating: Typically 0.5W to 1W (check specific datasheet for exact power rating)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C (typical)
• Adjustable Type: Rotary
• Mounting Type: Through-hole or surface mount (depends on the variant)
• Dimensions: Varies by manufacturer; generally around 10mm to 20mm in diameter

Applications:

• Volume Control: Used to adjust audio levels in amplifiers and audio equipment.
• Calibration: Ideal for fine-tuning and calibration of electronic circuits.
• Tuning: Allows precise adjustments in circuits requiring low resistance.
• Adjustable Controls: Provides variable input for user interfaces and control systems.

Usage:

1. Connect the three terminals of the potentiometer to the electronic circuit where variable resistance is needed.
2. Rotate the knob to adjust the resistance value as required.
3. Ensure correct handling and adjustment to prevent damage to the potentiometer or circuit.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the rated power or voltage specifications to avoid damage.
• Handle the potentiometer with care to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
• Confirm that the resistance range and tolerance meet the requirements of your application.
