Potentiometer one-turn horizontal 100 kΩ 150 mW, EB997908271

Single-turn horizontal potentiometer with 100 kΩ resistance and 150 mW rated power, designed for adjustable voltage division and precise signal level control in electronic circuits. The component is intended for front-panel mounting and provides a compact footprint with a smooth, single-turn adjustment suitable for applications where a limited rotation range and fine tuning are required. It integrates easily into prototypes, audio equipment, measurement instruments and control panels.

Advantages

The potentiometer offers a stable linear resistance taper and a consistent mechanical travel for repeatable settings. Its horizontal mounting style reduces panel depth requirements and simplifies placement on PCBs or front panels. Low power dissipation rating makes it appropriate for signal-level applications, while the single-turn design ensures quick, precise adjustments without multi-turn complexity.

Suitable for

• Audio level and tone controls in consumer or pro audio devices
• Signal attenuation and bias adjustment in measurement instruments
• Prototype boards and development kits requiring panel-mounted variable resistance
• Control panels with limited depth where single-turn adjustment is sufficient

Key specifications

• Resistance: 100 kΩ (linear)
• Rated power dissipation: 150 mW
• Configuration: single-turn, horizontal mounting
• Mounting type: front-panel / PCB compatible
• Typical applications: voltage divider, signal level control, trimming

How to use

Install the potentiometer into the front panel or PCB according to the device mechanical drawing, ensuring correct alignment of the shaft and secure fastening. Connect the three terminals as a variable resistor or as a voltage divider: one outer terminal to supply, the other outer terminal to ground, and the wiper to the signal input or measurement point. Make adjustments by rotating the shaft across its single-turn range to set the desired resistance or output level. For signal-level tasks, avoid exceeding the 150 mW dissipation rating to prevent overheating and drift.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the potentiometer within its rated power and ambient temperature limits. When integrating in audio paths or sensitive measurement circuits, combine with appropriate buffering or filtering to minimize noise and loading effects. Secure mechanical mounting and correct soldering practices will extend life and maintain stable settings.
