Multiturn Potentiometer 50K ohm

The Multiturn Potentiometer 50K ohm is a fine-adjustment variable resistor with a 50 kΩ track. The adjuster has to be turned several full revolutions to cover the whole track, so you can make small, accurate changes and come back to the same setting later. The 50 kΩ value works well for calibration, op-amp gain and comparator thresholds in general-purpose circuits.

Multiturn Potentiometer 50K ohm Specifications

• Type: multiturn potentiometer
• Resistance: 50 kΩ (50,000 ohms) end to end
• Adjustment: several full turns across the track for fine control
• Connections: two track ends and a wiper
• Track current at 5 V: about 0.1 mA

Multiturn Potentiometer 50K ohm Applications

• Op-amp gain and offset adjustment
• Setting comparator thresholds, for example with the LM393
• Fine-tuning NE555 timer and oscillator frequencies
• Calibrating sensor, thermostat and meter circuits
• Electronics labs and experiments

What's in the Box

• 1 × multiturn potentiometer, 50 kΩ

Tip: The wiper is usually the middle pin; check the markings. Near mid-travel a 50 kΩ pot has an output impedance of up to 12.5 kΩ, a little above the 10 kΩ recommended for the Arduino Uno ADC, so a 100 nF capacitor from the wiper to GND helps keep readings steady.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
