5KΩ Potentiometer

The 5KΩ Potentiometer is a variable resistor used to adjust voltage levels within electronic circuits. It features a resistance of 5,000 ohms and allows for precise control over the resistance in the circuit, making it ideal for applications such as volume controls, tuning, and calibration.

Key Features:

• Resistance: 5KΩ (5,000 ohms)
• Adjustable resistance for fine-tuning
• Typically used in analog circuits
• Durable construction
• Can be used for manual adjustment in circuits

Technical Specifications:

• Resistance: 5KΩ
• Tolerance: ±20% (varies by manufacturer)
• Power Rating: Typically 0.1W to 0.5W (check manufacturer specifications)
• Rotation Angle: 270° or 300° (varies by design)
• Type: Linear or logarithmic taper (depending on application)

Applications:

• Volume controls in audio equipment
• Adjustable power supplies
• Tuning circuits in radios
• Calibration in test equipment
• Dimmer controls for lighting

Usage:

1. Connect the potentiometer to the circuit as per the design specifications.
2. Adjust the knob to change the resistance value.
3. Ensure that the adjustment mechanism operates smoothly and does not cause any mechanical issues.

Caution:

• Do not exceed the power rating to avoid damage.
• Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage.
• Ensure proper installation to prevent incorrect circuit behavior.
