100k Black VR Original (100K/B104) Code: 37109172

A 100k variable resistor—often called a potentiometer or trimpot—provides manually adjustable resistance from 0 Ω to 100,000 Ω. It is widely used in circuits for tuning, calibrating, and adjusting voltage or current.

Key Specifications

• Resistance Value:100k ohms (100kΩ / marked as “104”)
• Tolerance:Typically ± 10% to ± 30% depending on the model
• Power Rating:Standard models range from 0.1W to 0.5W
• Max Working Voltage:Usually 50V for trimpots, and up to 300V for rotary panel pots
• Terminals:3 pins (two ends of a resistive track and one wiper)

Common Types

1. Potentiometers (Rotary/Slide):Feature a physical knob or slider, allowing the user to easily adjust settings in real-time (e.g., audio volume, tone, or lighting controls).
2. Trimpots (Trimmer Potentiometers):Small, PCB-mounted components with a screw adjustment mechanism. They are designed for fine, one-time or infrequent calibration of a circuit rather than regular adjustment.
