502 5K ohm Variable Resistor

The 5KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is used for adjusting resistance in electronic circuits. With a resistance range of 5,000 ohms, it provides the flexibility needed for fine-tuning various electronic parameters. This component is ideal for applications requiring precise control of resistance, such as in audio volume controls, calibration circuits, and other adjustable electronic settings.

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 5KΩ (5,000Ω)
• Allows for fine-tuning and precise resistance adjustments
• Available in different adjustment types (rotary or linear)
• Comes in various mounting styles (through-hole or surface-mount)

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance Value: 5KΩ (5,000Ω)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power Rating: Typically 0.5W to 1W
• Adjustment Type: Rotary or linear
• Package Type: Through-hole

Applications:

• Signal level adjustment
• Voltage divider circuits
• Audio volume controls
• Calibration of electronic circuits

Usage:

1. Connect the potentiometer to the circuit where resistance adjustment is required.
2. Adjust the control knob or slider to set the desired resistance value.
3. Ensure the circuit operates within the specified resistance range for proper performance.

Caution:

• Ensure the power rating of the potentiometer is not exceeded to avoid damage.
• Handle the component carefully to avoid mechanical damage.
• Verify resistance values periodically to maintain circuit accuracy.
