Applications
The PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN slide potentiometer is widely used in audio mixing boards and equalizer panels where 250 kΩ linear faders provide smooth volume and frequency adjustment over a 20 mm stroke. It is also suitable for industrial control panels requiring manual setpoint adjustment and consumer electronics such as synthesizers and lighting dimmers where compact PCB-mount slide controls are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the resistance value and travel distance of the PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN, and how do these affect its use in audio equipment?
The PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN has a 250 kΩ resistance and a 20 mm slide travel. In audio mixing consoles, the 250 kΩ value is well matched to high-impedance amplifier inputs, while the 20 mm travel provides enough physical resolution for smooth volume fading without requiring a long fader channel. This combination is common in compact mixer designs.
How does the 20% resistance tolerance of this slide potentiometer affect channel-to-channel matching in multi-fader audio consoles?
The 20% tolerance on the PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN means the actual resistance can range from approximately 200 kΩ to 300 kΩ. In multi-channel audio consoles, this variation may cause slight level differences between channels at identical fader positions. For applications requiring tight channel matching, selecting a tighter tolerance variant or calibrating gain downstream is recommended when using multiple units side by side.
Can the PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN be mounted directly on a PCB, and is it suitable for automated assembly?
Yes. The PS20M-0PC1FAR250KN uses PCB-mount terminals designed for through-hole soldering onto standard PCB pads. While its mechanical size and manual-assembly orientation make it less suited for fully automated SMT pick-and-place lines, it can be wave-soldered or hand-soldered efficiently in production runs. The 20 mm footprint fits standard control panel PCB layouts for audio and industrial applications.
