VISHAY 2K5 Linear Potentiometer

The VISHAY 2K5 Potentiometer is a precise and reliable through-hole mounted component, engineered for accurate voltage division and adjustment in a wide range of electronic circuits. Its conductive plastic track technology provides smooth, stable operation and excellent long-term reliability, making it a trusted choice for both prototyping and production applications.

This single-gang, single-turn potentiometer features a linear taper, ensuring a direct, proportional relationship between the shaft position and the resistance value. This characteristic makes it ideal for applications requiring straightforward, linear control, such as setting bias points, calibrating signal levels, or providing user-adjustable inputs. The device is rated for a power handling of 500mW and offers a resistance tolerance of ±20%.

Designed for durability, the potentiometer operates reliably across an extensive temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. It is equipped with PC pins for secure soldering onto printed circuit boards and features a convenient screwdriver slot for straightforward adjustment once installed. The compact dimensions allow for efficient use of board space without compromising performance.
