3852A-162-502AL is a 3/4" (19.05 mm) diameter single-turn cermet element panel control potentiometer designed for precise resistance adjustment in electronic circuits. It features a 5 kO resistance value with a linear taper and ±10% total resistance tolerance, utilizing a plain 3/8" (9.53 mm) bushing and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) shaft length with 1/4" (6.35 mm) diameter slotted end. The potentiometer offers an effective electrical angle of 250° ±5° for linear tapers, continuous turn mechanical operation, and a power rating of 2 watts at +70°C. With an operating temperature range of -1°C to +125°C, 20 G vibration resistance, 100 G shock resistance, and IP40 protection rating, this RoHS-compliant component is suitable for industrial control panels, audio equipment, and instrumentation applications requiring reliable and repeatable adjustment.
