Potentiometer Vertical PCB Mount Splined T18 Shaft Inverse Log Pot Anti Log C VT18

This is one item of single gang, reverse logarithmic taper, carbon track potentiometer.

These are new items and come with a nut and a washer for mounting on a front panel. The shaft is the standard T18 6mm diameter split splined type. The mounting hole required is 7mm diameter. The total shaft length is 16mm where 10mm of this is the turning part and 6mm is the threaded part.

The connection pins are intended for PCB mounting with the pot standing vertically up from the board. The "C" prefix before the track resistance value denotes a reverse logarithmic track taper intended for use in such things as audio equaliser controls and analogue filters. The maximum power rating is 0.1W. The track resistance tolerance is 20%. The overall body diameter is 17mm.

If you have a pot with a track label of C502, this is a C5K where 2 is the number of zeros after 50 in Ohms. A 102 would be 1K, a 472 would be 4K7 etc. Sometimes pots may also be labelled with the C as a suffix e.g. 5KC.
