2k Black VR Original Code: 40196738

A 2 kΩ variable resistor (potentiometer or trimpot) is a three-terminal component used to adjust resistance from 0 to 2,000 Ω. It is commonly used for tuning circuits, adjusting voltage, and calibrating sensors in hobbyist and electronics projects.

Key Specifications

• Total Resistance:2 kΩ (marked with code 202)
• Tolerance:Typically ±10% to ±30% depending on the model
• Power Rating:Often ranges from 0.1W to 0.25W
• Operating Voltage:Typically 50V to 100V DC max
• Rotation Angle:Usually single-turn (230° to 240°)

Common Types

• Trimpots / Presets:Small, rectangular (e.g., 3296) or circular (e.g., RM065) components designed to be mounted on a PCB or breadboard and adjusted with a small screwdriver.
• Rotary Potentiometers:Panel-mounted with a physical shaft and knob, usually utilized for accessible user control (like volume or speed).
