100K Logarithmic Potentiometer - 16mm Elcon Audio Taper Pot

Product Description: The 100K Ohm Logarithmic Taper Potentiometer from Elcon is a high-quality rotary component specifically designed for audio applications. Unlike linear potentiometers, the logarithmic taper matches the human ear's non-linear perception of sound, providing a smooth and natural volume adjustment. Its compact 16mm body makes it ideal for guitar pedals, amplifiers, and custom audio interfaces.

Key Features

• Audio-Optimised Taper: Provides a smooth volume curve that feels natural to the listener.

• Precision Splined Shaft: The 18-tooth knurled shaft ensures a tight, slip-free fit for standard push-on knobs.

• Compact 16mm Profile: Saves valuable space inside enclosures and on high-density PCBs.

• Durable Metal Shaft: Engineered to withstand frequent manual rotation without mechanical fatigue.

• Low Noise Operation: High-quality carbon element reduces "crackling" sounds during adjustment.

Technical Details

• Logarithmic Logic: In a Type A pot, the resistance increases slowly at first and more rapidly toward the end of the turn to compensate for logarithmic hearing.

• Mounting Depth: Designed with a standard threaded neck for secure panel mounting through various materials.

• Operating Temperature: Rated to perform reliably under standard electronic operating conditions.
