Vishay 249 Series 5K Potentiometer, Cermet, 1W
Vishay 249 Series 5kΩ linear potentiometer. 1W power rating, cermet track, through-hole mount for reliable electronic control.
The Vishay 249 Series 5K Potentiometer is a high-quality single-gang, through-hole component designed for precise electrical adjustments in a wide range of electronic applications. It features a durable cermet (ceramic-metal) track technology, offering excellent stability and a long operational life. With a linear taper, this potentiometer provides a direct, proportional relationship between the shaft position and the output resistance, making it ideal for tasks requiring straightforward control such as volume, brightness, or gain adjustments.
Rated for 1 watt of power, this component is robust enough for many general-purpose circuits. It offers a resistance tolerance of ±10% and operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +125°C, ensuring performance in challenging environments. The adjustment is made via a convenient screwdriver slot, allowing for secure calibration without the need for a dedicated knob.
