3852A-162-252AL 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 2.5 kO resistance value with a linear taper, a plain 3/8" (9.53 mm) bushing, and a 1/2" (12.7 mm) long shaft with 1/4" (6.35 mm) diameter. The potentiometer offers continuous turn mechanical operation, stop strength of 56.5 N-cm (5 lb.-in.), and a maximum weight of 30 grams. This RoHS-compliant component is suitable for panel-mounted applications requiring reliable resistance control with good resolution and minimal depth packaging.
