Large Slider Potentiometer 500 ohm

The Large Slider Potentiometer 500 ohm is a slide potentiometer with a 500 Ω resistive track and a lever that moves in a straight line instead of turning. The lever shows the setting at a glance and is quick to adjust, which suits faders and front-panel controls. The low 500 Ω value is meant for circuits that need a very low-impedance control voltage or a low-value variable resistor.

Large Slider Potentiometer 500 ohm Specifications

• Type: slide (straight-travel) potentiometer, large size
• Resistance: 500 Ω end to end
• Control: lever moved along a straight track
• Function: the wiper picks off any voltage between the two track ends
• Track current at 5 V: about 10 mA

Large Slider Potentiometer 500 ohm Applications

• Fader-style controls for mixers, lighting desks and control panels
• Low-impedance control voltages for analog circuits
• Low-value variable resistance in test and lab setups
• Replacing a worn 500 Ω slider in equipment repairs
• Electronics classes and experiments

What's in the Box

• 1 × large slider potentiometer, 500 Ω

Tip: At 5 V the 500 Ω track draws about 10 mA, so make sure your supply can spare it; for simple Arduino or battery-powered inputs a higher value such as 5 kΩ or 20 kΩ wastes less power. Check the pin markings on the body, as the pin layout varies between slider models.
