10K ohm Variable Resistor 103

he 10KΩ Variable Resistor, also known as a potentiometer, is a crucial electronic component used to adjust and control resistance in a circuit. With a resistance range of up to 10 kilohms, it allows for precise adjustments of voltage and current in various applications. This component is widely utilized in volume controls, tuning circuits, and other calibration systems. 

Key Features:

• Resistance Range: 10KΩ (10,000Ω)
• Adjustable resistance for accurate control
• Available in rotary or linear adjustment types
• Offered in through-hole or surface-mount designs

Technical Specifications:

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

Applications:

• Audio volume adjustment
• Signal attenuation and gain control
• Calibration in measurement devices
• Fine-tuning in analog circuits

Usage:

1. Connect the potentiometer to the circuit as per the design specifications.
2. Adjust the resistance by rotating or sliding the control to the desired level.
3. Test the circuit to ensure the adjustment meets operational requirements.

Caution:

• Avoid exceeding the potentiometer’s power rating to prevent overheating.
