203 20K ohm Variable Resistor

The 20KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is a component used to adjust resistance within electronic circuits. It provides a variable resistance range of up to 20 kilohms, enabling precise control over electrical signals and voltages. This component is commonly employed in applications such as volume controls, tuning circuits, and calibration systems.

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 20KΩ (20,000Ω)
• 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: 20KΩ (20,000Ω)
• 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
• Calibration and adjustment in measurement systems
• Fine-tuning in analog circuits

Usage:

1. Incorporate the potentiometer into the circuit according to design specifications.
2. Adjust the resistance by rotating or sliding the control to the desired level.
3. Verify the adjustment through circuit testing to ensure proper operation.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the potentiometer’s power rating to avoid overheating.
• Handle the component carefully to prevent damage to the adjustment mechanism.
• Regularly check and recalibrate in sensitive or frequently adjusted applications.
