Potentiometer Carbon 50K ohm

The Potentiometer Carbon 50K ohm is a variable resistor with a 50 kΩ carbon resistive track and three terminals. Moving the wiper along the track changes the resistance between the middle pin and each outer pin, so it works as an adjustable voltage divider or as a variable resistor. The 50 kΩ value is common in audio controls, timer circuits and amplifier gain settings.

Potentiometer Carbon 50K ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 50 kΩ between the two outer pins
• Track: carbon
• Terminals: 3 (two track ends and the wiper)
• Use: adjustable voltage divider or variable resistor

Potentiometer Carbon 50K ohm Applications

• Volume and tone controls in simple audio circuits
• Adjusting the frequency or delay of 555 timer circuits
• Setting op-amp gain
• Adjusting thresholds and reference levels in comparator circuits
• User control knobs read by Arduino and ESP32 analog inputs
• Electronics classes and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 1 × 50 kΩ carbon potentiometer

Tip: To use it as a voltage divider, connect the outer pins across the supply and take the adjustable voltage from the middle pin. As a variable resistor, use the middle pin and one outer pin. Carbon tracks are made for signal levels, so do not pass load current through the wiper.
