Unique-Bargains 10Pcs B500 500 ohm Linear Potentiometer 3 Terminals

SKU CH-VJVT-2HHN0

Pack of ten 500 ohm linear potentiometers with knurled shafts for audio volume control

  • Pack of 10 potentiometers for multi-point control
  • 500 ohm linear taper gives smooth signal adjustment
  • ±20 % tolerance keeps circuits within spec
  • Rotational noise ≤ 47 mV for clean audio
  • 200 V max voltage handles standard equipment

Pack of 10 linear potentiometers

This pack contains ten B500 linear taper potentiometers rated at 500 ohm with three terminals each. They are designed for top adjustment and feature a knurled shaft that accepts standard push-on knobs. The components suit hobbyists and technicians who need multiple identical units for audio volume controls or similar electrical device adjustment tasks. The ±20 % resistance tolerance means each unit may vary within that range from the nominal value.

Voltage and noise limits

The maximum operating voltage is 200 V and the dielectric strength is rated at AC 500 V for one minute. Insulation resistance exceeds 100 M ohm when measured at DC 500 V. Rotational noise is specified as 47 mV or less, which sets the practical limit for low-signal applications such as pre-amplifier stages. These electrical parameters define the safe operating envelope for the component.

500 ohm resistance value

The single specification that decides suitability is the 500 ohm nominal resistance with a ±20 % tolerance. Circuits requiring a different resistance value or a tighter tolerance cannot use these potentiometers. Buyers who need a logarithmic taper, a different ohm rating or a sealed enclosure should look for an alternative part.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 500 ohm version or a different resistance for my circuit?

This pack contains ten 500 ohm linear potentiometers with ±20% tolerance. Choose this value when your design calls for 500 ohm; other resistances are not included in this listing.

What does the 500 ohm rating mean when the potentiometer is installed in a device?

It provides a linear 0 to 500 ohm sweep across the full rotation, with a maximum operating voltage of 200 V and rotational noise of 47 mV or less.

What terminal standard does the 3-terminal layout follow and what does it limit?

The three terminals follow the standard single linear taper pinout; the shaft is knurled with a split design for push-on knobs, and dielectric strength is rated at AC 500 V for one minute.
