Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the resistance value of these vertical potentiometers?
A: Each PT15NV15-103A-E potentiometer in this 2-pack has a resistance value of 10K Ohm (10,000 Ohms), making them suitable for a wide range of signal-control and voltage-dividing applications in electronics projects.
Q: What mounting style do these PT15-10K potentiometers use?
A: These are vertical through-hole potentiometers, meaning the adjustment shaft stands upright (perpendicular to the PCB). This orientation is ideal for compact board layouts where horizontal clearance is limited.
Q: Are these potentiometers suitable for audio circuit applications?
A: Yes. With a low equivalent noise resistance of ≤3% Rn (3Ω minimum) and available taper options including linear and logarithmic curves, these 10K potentiometers are well-suited for audio volume control, tone shaping, and other signal-processing circuits.
Q: What is the maximum operating voltage for these potentiometers?
A: The maximum voltage rating is 250 VDC for the linear taper and 125 VDC for the non-linear taper. Always ensure your circuit voltages remain within these limits for safe and reliable operation.
