The 3862C-162-103AL is a 1/2" diameter single-turn panel control potentiometer manufactured by Bourns with a cermet resistive element and linear taper. It features a standard resistance range from 1 kO to 1 MO with ±10% tolerance (A taper), an effective electrical angle of 260° ±10°, and independent linearity of ±5%. The potentiometer is equipped with PC pin terminals and offers a compact design with a weight of 25 grams maximum. It provides reliable performance with dielectric withstanding voltage of 750 VAC at sea level and insulation resistance of 1,000 MO minimum, making it suitable for audio equipment, instrumentation panels, and consumer electronics requiring precise volume or parameter control.
