503 50K ohm Variable Resistor

The 50KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is an electronic component that allows for the adjustment of resistance within a circuit. It provides a variable resistance range of up to 50 kilohms, enabling precise control over electrical signals and voltages in various electronic applications. This component is commonly used in settings such as volume controls, tuning circuits, and calibration systems.

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 50KΩ (50,000Ω)
• Adjustable resistance for fine-tuning and calibration
• Available in rotary or linear adjustment types
• Typically offered in through-hole or surface-mount designs

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Value: 50KΩ (50,000Ω)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power Rating: Typically 0.5W to 1W
• Adjustment Type: Rotary or linear 
• Package Type: Through-hole

Applications:

• Audio volume control
• Signal attenuation and gain control
