20KΩ Potentiometer

The 20KΩ Potentiometer is a variable resistor used to adjust voltage or current within a circuit. With a resistance range of 20 kilohms, this component allows for fine-tuning and calibration of electronic devices. It features a three-terminal design, enabling it to act as a voltage divider or variable resistor.

Key Features:

• Resistance: 20KΩ (20,000Ω)
• Adjustable resistance with a rotating or sliding mechanism
• High precision and reliability
• Typically used in tuning and calibration applications
• Available in different forms such as rotary or linear

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:

• Volume controls in audio equipment
• Brightness and contrast adjustments in displays
• Calibration of electronic circuits
• Variable voltage dividers
• Tuning and adjusting circuit parameters

Usage:

1. Integrate the potentiometer into the circuit according to the design requirements.
2. Adjust the resistance by turning the knob or sliding mechanism.
3. Verify that the resistance range meets the circuit’s needs.

Caution:

• Avoid exceeding the maximum power rating to prevent damage.
• Ensure proper handling to avoid mechanical damage.
• Regularly check for wear and tear in high-use applications.
