6187R5KL1.0 is a 7/8" diameter single-turn conductive plastic precision potentiometer designed for position sensing applications. This Model 6187 variant features a 5K ohm resistance value with ±1.0% independent linearity, a 1/4" shaft diameter, and 3/8" bushing. Key electrical specifications include a power rating of 1.0 Watt at 70°C, 400 VDC maximum input voltage, dielectric strength of 750 V rms, and essentially infinite resolution. The potentiometer operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C dynamic and -65°C to +125°C static, with a rotational life of 5 million shaft revolutions. Common applications include industrial controls, instrumentation, and precision position feedback systems where reliable, long-life performance is required.
