101 100ohm Variable Resistor

The 101 100 ohm variable resistor, commonly referred to as a potentiometer, is an adjustable resistor used to control electrical resistance in a circuit. With a three-terminal design, it allows for precise tuning of resistance from 0 to 100 ohms. This component is ideal for applications requiring fine adjustments, such as volume controls, sensor calibration, and signal processing.

Key Features:

• Adjustable resistance up to 100 ohms
• Three-terminal design for versatile applications
• High precision and durability
• Suitable for fine-tuning and calibration purposes

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Range: 0 – 100 ohms
• Power Rating: Typically 0.25W (1/4W)
• Tolerance: ±20% (typical)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (typical)
• Shaft Type: Knurled, slotted, or smooth 
• Mounting Type: Through-hole

Applications:

• Volume control in audio equipment
• Tuning and calibration in electronic circuits
• Adjustable power supplies
• Sensor adjustments
• Signal conditioning

Usage:

1. Solder the three terminals to the appropriate points in the circuit.
2. Rotate or slide the control to adjust the resistance.
3. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance if precise adjustments are needed.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the rated power to avoid damage.
• Handle with care to avoid damaging the resistive element.
• Ensure proper mounting to prevent mechanical stress.
