SKU CH-YM2E-QA4EZ MPN RV097NS

Pack of ten 20K ohm carbon-film potentiometers with five terminals and single-turn linear adjustment

  • FeaturesHorizontal Multiturn Trimmer Potentiometers; Potentiometer R
  • 20K ohm resistance for precise circuit control
  • +/-10% tolerance ensures reliable performance
  • Single-turn carbon film design suits audio volume control
  • 5-terminal configuration with knurled shaft fits standard knobs
  • Pack of 10 units for multiple project needs

Potentiometer Specifications

This is a pack of ten carbon-film potentiometers, model RV097NS, each with a 20K ohm resistance value and a +/-10% tolerance. They feature a single-turn linear taper and five terminals for circuit integration. The components use a round shaft design measuring 6mm in diameter and 10mm in length.

Ideal Use Cases

These suit hobbyists and technicians building audio volume controls or similar variable resistance circuits on breadboards or PCBs. The horizontal mount style and knurled split shaft allow easy knob attachment. Buyers needing multi-turn precision adjustment or a different resistance value should look at other component types.

Key Selection Detail

The single-turn linear taper defines the adjustment behaviour; one full rotation covers the full 20K ohm range evenly. This characteristic determines if the part matches the required control feel for the specific circuit design.

Questions about this item

What does the 5-terminal layout on this RV097NS potentiometer provide?

The five terminals give you the standard three connections for the resistive track and wiper plus two extra contacts for the integrated switch function.

Will this 27 mm by 9 mm body with a 6.7 mm thread fit my enclosure cut-out?

The body measures 27 mm long, 9 mm wide and 11 mm high, and the mounting thread is 6.7 mm in diameter, so drill a matching hole and allow the 10 mm shaft length.

How do I solder the RV097NS to a PCB without bending the pins?

Insert the five terminals through the board, hold the potentiometer flush while soldering each pin, then attach the knob to the 6 mm knurled shaft.
