<p>The JA1N056S102UA Rotary Potentiometer from Honeywell comes with carbon composition and a linear taper. It also has solder lug terminal. Potentiometers are measuring instruments that are used to measure electric potential, i.e. voltage, in a circuit. They were primarily used for measuring voltage, before the invention of moving coil and digital volt meters. Some of the applications for these 1K ohm potentiometers are manual controls, welding, and heating equipment.</p> <p>The cover of this Honeywell Potentiometer is dust-proof and corrosion-resistant, built of non-magnetic material. This potentiometer has coated terminals and comes with 2.25 W power rating and 1K Ohm resistance. The J series hot-molded carbon composition potentiometers deliver reliable and exceptional functionality and are utilized in various industrial and military applications.</p>
