Metal Potentiometer 1KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 15mm
The Metal Potentiometer 1 KΩ 3‑Pin with a 15mm plastic shaft is a high-precision, panel-mount variable resistor designed for fine control in analog electronic systems. Part of the P120 series, it is constructed with a rugged metal housing that ensures mechanical durability and a conductive plastic resistive element for smooth, low-noise operation. The 1 KΩ resistance value, combined with a linear taper profile, enables accurate and proportional adjustment of voltage or current across the rotation range.
The potentiometer features three terminals: two fixed ends of the resistive track and one center wiper, allowing it to function as a voltage divider or variable resistor in a wide range of circuit designs. Its 15mm D-shaped shaft, molded from high-quality plastic, provides insulation and ease of manual operation while ensuring compatibility with standard control knobs. The extended shaft length is ideal for enclosures or interfaces that require deeper panel mounting or larger adjustment clearance.
Engineered for long life and stable electrical performance, this potentiometer performs reliably in temperature-variable environments and repeated adjustment cycles. With its compact form and PCB-compatible mounting design, it offers a practical solution for fine-tuning, calibration, and manual signal control in instrumentation and general electronics.
Features:
- The 1K Potentiometer is a three-terminal variable resistor that is used to vary or change the resistance.
- It is used to change different parameters in an electronic circuit, such as voltage, current, and so on.
- The 1K Potentiometer is a passive electronic component that has two end terminals with a resistive element and the sliding contact called the wiper acts as the third terminal. Two other terminals present are used to facilitate stabilized mounting on PCB.
- It is mostly used in applications where a single turn can provide enough control resolution.
- An adjustable potentiometer can open up many interesting user interfaces.
- Turn the pot and the resistance changes.
