Vishay 5K Ohm 1W Single-Turn Cermet Potentiometer

The Vishay 149 Series Single-Turn Potentiometer is a reliable and precise electronic component designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards (PCBs). With a track resistance of 5 kΩ and a power rating of 1 watt, this 1-turn adjustment potentiometer is built using robust cermet resistor technology, ensuring stable performance and long-term durability in a variety of circuit adjustment applications.

Featuring a linear track taper, the resistance changes uniformly as the screwdriver-adjustable shaft is turned, making it ideal for applications requiring straightforward calibration, voltage division, or signal level setting. The component offers a resistance tolerance of ±10% and is terminated with convenient PC pins for secure soldering onto your board.

Constructed to withstand demanding environmental conditions, this potentiometer operates effectively across a broad temperature range from -40°C to +150°C. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for use in space-constrained electronic assemblies, providing a dependable solution for designers and engineers.
