Product Description The 100K Elcon Potentiometer is a heavy-duty rotary control component designed for durability and high-precision tuning. Featuring a large 24mm body, this potentiometer offers better power dissipation and mechanical stability compared to smaller 9mm or 16mm variants. The short shaft design is specifically engineered for compact enclosures or low-profile control panels where a standard long shaft would be obstructive. It is an ideal choice for industrial controls, guitar amplifiers, and high-end audio equipment.

Key Features

  • Large 24mm Body: The wider diameter allows for a more robust internal resistive track, providing a smoother "swing" and longer operational life.

  • Space-Saving Short Shaft: Perfect for custom control boxes where space is at a premium or for use with low-profile knobs.

  • High Torque Operation: Built with a slightly stiffer rotation feel, ensuring that your settings stay exactly where you leave them, even in high-vibration environments.

  • Linear Taper (100K): Provides a consistent change in resistance throughout the rotation, making it predictable for voltage division and signal adjustment.

  • Solder-Friendly Terminals: Features sturdy lugs that can handle multiple wires, making it easy to integrate into complex point-to-point wiring projects.

Technical Details

  • Mechanical Life: Rated for over 15,000 cycles, ensuring reliability in frequently adjusted equipment.

  • Shaft Diameter: Standard 6mm diameter, compatible with most industrial-grade knobs.

  • Resistance Tolerance: Precision-engineered to within ±10% to ±20% of the rated 100K value.


Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

  • Power Dissipation: Because this is a 24mm "Big" Potentiometer, it can handle slightly more power than mini-potentiometers. This makes it safer for use in older analog circuits or as a variable resistor in low-current DC circuits.

  • Knob Clearance: When choosing a knob, ensure it is a "set-screw" type. Since the shaft is short, push-on knobs may not have enough surface area to grip securely. A metal knob with a side set-screw will provide the most reliable connection.

  • Panel Thickness: The short shaft means you must ensure your enclosure wall is not too thick. This potentiometer works best with sheet metal or 3mm acrylic panels. If your panel is thicker than 5mm, the nut may not have enough thread to catch.

  • Circuit Noise: For audio applications, always ground the metal casing of the potentiometer to the circuit's common ground. This turns the 24mm metal body into a shield, significantly reducing hum and EMI interference.
