Vishay 248 Series 50kΩ Linear Potentiometer

The Vishay 248 Series 50kΩ Linear Potentiometer is a high-quality, single-gang component designed for precise electrical adjustment in a wide range of electronic circuits and equipment. Built with a conductive plastic track, it provides smooth, reliable operation and long-lasting performance. Its 1-turn design with a screwdriver slot adjustment allows for easy and accurate setting of resistance values.

This through-hole mount potentiometer features a linear taper, meaning the resistance changes uniformly as the shaft is rotated, making it ideal for applications where a direct, proportional control relationship is required. With a robust power rating of 500mW and an operational temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, it is suitable for use in demanding environments, from industrial controls to consumer electronics. The component utilises PC pin terminals for secure soldering onto printed circuit boards.
