Vishay 10KΩ 1W 1-Turn Rotary Potentiometer, Through-Hole

The Vishay 249 Series Rotary Potentiometer is a precise, single-gang component designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards. Featuring a reliable cermet resistive element, this 10kΩ potentiometer provides a stable and linear 1-turn adjustment via its slotted metal shaft, which is compatible with a standard screwdriver for fine-tuning.

With a robust 1W power rating and a ±10% resistance tolerance, it is suitable for a wide range of analogue signal conditioning and voltage division applications. Its linear track taper ensures a direct, proportional relationship between shaft rotation and resistance change, making it ideal for straightforward control functions.

The component is built to withstand demanding environments, offering an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and an IP50 protection rating, which guards against limited dust ingress. Its PC pin terminals facilitate secure soldering to the board, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. This potentiometer is a versatile choice for engineers and hobbyists working on audio equipment, test and measurement devices, and industrial control systems where consistent, manual adjustment is required.
