1k Rotatory Potentiometer Pack 2

Description:

A 1k rotary potentiometer, often simply called a 1k pot, is a three-terminal variable resistor. It features a rotating shaft connected to a wiper that moves along a resistive track. By rotating the shaft, you can adjust the resistance between the wiper and the two fixed terminals. The "1k" value indicates that the potentiometer has a total resistance of 1,000 ohms.   

Key Features:

• Variable Resistance: The primary function is to provide adjustable resistance, allowing for control of voltage or current in a circuit.
• Rotary Control: The rotating shaft offers a user-friendly way to adjust the resistance.
• Three Terminals: These terminals provide connection points for the resistive track and the wiper.   
• 1k Ohm Resistance: This is a common resistance value suitable for various applications.
• Pack of 2: Typically sold in packs of two, providing value and convenience.   

Specifications:

• Resistance: 1k ohms (1,000 ohms)   
• Type: Rotary, single-turn   
• Terminals: 3 pins   
• Shaft: Round shaft with a specific diameter (often 6mm)   
• Power Rating: Typically around 0.25W 
• Tolerance: Usually ±20% (indicates the acceptable variation in resistance)   
• Rotational Life: The number of rotation cycles the potentiometer can withstand 

Applications:

1k rotary potentiometers find use in a variety of electronic circuits and devices, including:

• Audio Control: Volume control in amplifiers, radios, and other audio equipment.   
• Lighting Control: Dimming lights or adjusting brightness.   
• Sensor Adjustment: Calibrating sensors or setting threshold values.
• DIY Electronics Projects: Building custom circuits for various applications.
• Industrial Control: Adjusting parameters in machinery or processes.  

In Conclusion:

The 1k rotary potentiometer is a versatile and essential component for electronics enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its ability to provide adjustable resistance makes it invaluable in a wide range of applications. Whether you're building a simple circuit or working on a complex project, the 1k rotary potentiometer is a reliable and cost-effective solution.
