102 1K ohm Variable Resistor

The 1KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is an essential component for adjusting resistance in electronic circuits. It provides a variable resistance value up to 1 kilohm, allowing for fine-tuning of voltage and current levels. This resistor is commonly used in applications requiring precise control, such as volume adjustment, signal calibration, and other variable resistance needs.

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 1KΩ (1,000Ω)
• Adjustable for precise control of resistance
• Available in rotary or linear adjustment types
• Can be found in through-hole or surface-mount packages

Technical Specifications:

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

Applications:

• Audio volume control
• Signal level adjustment
• Calibration in measurement systems
• Fine-tuning in analog electronic circuits

Usage:

1. Integrate the potentiometer into the circuit according to design requirements.
2. Adjust the resistance by rotating or sliding the control to achieve the desired resistance.
3. Verify the circuit’s performance to ensure it meets operational specifications.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the potentiometer’s power rating to avoid overheating.
• Handle with care to prevent damage to the adjustment mechanism.
• Regular checks may be necessary to ensure accurate resistance values over time.
