202 2K ohm Variable Resistor

The 202 2K ohm variable resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is a three-terminal device used to adjust resistance within an electronic circuit. It allows for precise control over the resistance, making it ideal for tuning and calibration applications. The resistance can be varied from 0 ohms to 2K ohms by rotating or sliding the control.

Key Features:

• Adjustable resistance up to 2K ohms
• Three-terminal design (two fixed, one adjustable)
• Available in various forms (rotary, linear)
• High precision and reliability
• Suitable for fine-tuning and calibration

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Range: 0 – 2K 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 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.
