Potentiometer 2W 100K ohm

The Potentiometer 2W 100K ohm is a variable resistor with a 100 kΩ track and a 2 W power rating. Adjusting it moves the wiper along the track, changing the resistance between the middle terminal and each end, so it can work as an adjustable voltage divider or as a variable resistor. The high 100 kΩ value draws very little current, which suits audio volume controls, 555 timer adjustment and high-impedance circuits.

Potentiometer 2W 100K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 100 kΩ between the outer terminals
• Power rating: 2 W
• Type: variable resistor (potentiometer)
• Terminals: 3, two track ends and the middle wiper

Potentiometer 2W 100K ohm Applications

• Volume and tone controls in audio circuits
• Adjusting the frequency or delay of 555 timer circuits
• Setting gain and offset in op-amp circuits
• Brightness and speed controls in analog circuits
• Adjustable voltage dividers and threshold settings

What's in the Box

• 1 × 100 kΩ 2 W potentiometer

Tip: For a microcontroller analog input, a 10 kΩ potentiometer is usually the better choice, because the ADC on boards like the Arduino Uno works best with a source resistance of 10 kΩ or less; choose 100 kΩ where low current draw matters. The 2 W rating applies to the whole track, so keep the current through the wiper low.
