Metal Potentiometer 100KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 13mm
The Metal Potentiometer 100 KΩ 3‑Pin with a 13 mm plastic shaft is a compact and reliable variable resistor designed for electronic control and adjustment applications. It features a durable metal housing that ensures mechanical stability, paired with a high-resistance conductive element for consistent performance across its operating life. With a resistance value of 100 KΩ and a linear taper, it provides proportional output throughout its rotation range, making it ideal for tasks requiring fine tuning and gradual signal variation.
The 3‑pin configuration two terminals for the resistive path and one for the adjustable wiper allows the potentiometer to function effectively as a voltage divider. The plastic shaft, measuring 13 mm in length, offers easy manual rotation and is compatible with standard D‑type knobs for panel or chassis mounting. Internally, the potentiometer is designed for high endurance, rated for thousands of rotational cycles without degradation in electrical characteristics.
Its compact form factor and PCB-friendly pin layout make it suitable for densely packed circuits where precision and reliability are essential. Typically mounted through-hole and secured with a nut and washer, this potentiometer is a practical component in audio equipment, calibration tools, and user-adjustable controls requiring stable, repeatable resistance control.
Features:
- The 100K 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 100K 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.
