102 1KΩ potentiometer/variable resistor

The 102 1KΩ potentiometer is a type of variable resistor that allows for adjustable resistance up to 1,000 ohms. It features a rotary knob that enables smooth and precise adjustment of resistance values in electronic circuits. This potentiometer is widely used in applications requiring fine-tuning and calibration.

Key Features:

• Adjustable resistance from 0Ω to 1kΩ
• Rotary knob for precise and smooth adjustment
• Compact and robust design
• Suitable for a wide range of electronic applications
• Commonly used for volume control, calibration, and tuning

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Range: 0Ω to 1kΩ (1,000Ω)
• 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: Adjusts audio levels in amplifiers, mixers, and other audio equipment.
• Calibration: Ideal for fine-tuning and adjusting electronic circuits and devices.
• Tuning: Allows for precise adjustment in circuits requiring variable resistance.
• Adjustable Controls: Provides variable resistance for user interfaces and control systems.

Usage:

1. Connect the three terminals of the potentiometer to the electronic circuit where adjustable resistance is needed.
2. Rotate the knob to set the desired resistance value.
3. Ensure proper handling and adjustment to avoid damaging the potentiometer or the circuit.

Caution:

• Avoid exceeding the rated power or voltage specifications to prevent damage.
• Handle the potentiometer with care to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
• Verify that the resistance range and tolerance meet the requirements of your application.
