Product Overview

R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10% is a widely used classic rotary potentiometer that adjusts resistance values by rotating its shaft, making it suitable for various analog signal adjustment applications. Featuring a highly popular classic design with mature technology and diverse structural options, this potentiometer offers a smooth, lubricated rotational feel while maintaining low operating costs, meeting the signal adjustment needs of different industries. Its professional audio-grade quality delivers extremely low sliding noise, with a rotational life of up to 50,000 cycles, providing devices with a stable and seamless adjustment experience.

Operating Principle

R097N-SW1-B50K-41CC-15KQ7±10% employs the most common classic potentiometer structure. The resistive element typically consists of a horseshoe-shaped carbon film or conductive plastic layer. When the user rotates the central shaft, it drives a metal slider and brush to move in a circular path along the resistive layer. By changing the contact position between the brush and the resistive layer, the resistance value varies continuously and smoothly, thereby adjusting the analog signal. This well-established design has been extensively tested in the market, demonstrating excellent stability and reliability, precisely matching the intuitive “rotational” interaction habit and satisfying signal adjustment requirements across various scenarios.
