Potentiometer 2W 50K ohm

The Potentiometer 2W 50K ohm is a rotary variable resistor with a total resistance of 50 kΩ and a power rating of 2 W. Turning the shaft moves the wiper along the track, giving an adjustable voltage or resistance. The higher power rating makes it sturdier than small signal potentiometers, and 50 kΩ is a common value for level and tone controls, adjustable dividers and timing adjustments.

Potentiometer 2W 50K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 50 kΩ across the full track
• Power rating: 2 W
• Type: rotary potentiometer, 3 terminals
• Wiring: two track ends plus the centre wiper
• Maximum current through the full track: about 6.3 mA (from P = I² × R)
• Pack size: 1 piece

Potentiometer 2W 50K ohm Applications

• Level and tone controls in audio circuits
• Adjustable voltage dividers and reference voltages
• Setting the frequency or timing of 555 and oscillator circuits
• Analog input controls for Arduino and ESP32
• Repairs of amplifiers and power equipment

What's in the Box

• 1 × 50 kΩ 2 W potentiometer

Tip: Connect the two outer terminals across your supply and read the voltage from the centre wiper. The 2 W rating applies to the whole track, so when you use only part of the track as a variable resistor, keep the current below about 6.3 mA in every position.
