104 100K ohm Variable Resistor

The 100KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is a component used to adjust resistance within an electronic circuit. With a maximum resistance of 100 kilohms, it allows for fine-tuning and calibration of circuits by varying resistance to achieve the desired electrical characteristics. This component is commonly used in applications such as volume controls, signal processing, and tuning circuits.

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 100KΩ (100,000Ω)
• Adjustable resistance for fine-tuning and calibration
• Available in rotary or linear adjustment types
• Typically available in through-hole or surface-mount packages

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Value: 100KΩ (100,000Ω)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power Rating: Usually 0.5W to 1W
• Adjustment Type: Rotary or linear 
• Package Type: Through-hole 

Applications:

• Audio and volume control in electronic devices
• Calibration and adjustment in measurement systems
• Signal attenuation and gain control in analog circuits
• Tuning and fine adjustment in various electronic applications

Usage:

1. Integrate the potentiometer into the circuit as per the design requirements.
2. Adjust the resistance by rotating or sliding the control to the desired value.
3. Confirm the adjustment through circuit testing to ensure it meets the operational needs.

Caution:

• Ensure the potentiometer’s power rating is not exceeded to avoid overheating.
• Handle with care to prevent damage to the mechanical adjustment mechanism.
• Regularly check and calibrate if used frequently in sensitive applications.
