Bourns 3541H-496-502L Hybritron Precision Potentiometer

Bourns 3541H Hybritron Precision Potentiometer is a 5 kΩ, 10-turn, single‑gang panel‑mount potentiometer built around Bourns’ Hybritron element. This linear-taper device is rated for 2 W and uses solder lug terminals, making it ideal for front‑panel adjustment in instrumentation, calibration rigs, and test fixtures. The -502L designation indicates a 5 kΩ end‑to‑end resistance, and the 3541H family is configured for high‑precision adjustments with screwdriver‑slot access on the panel for fine control. As a Hybritron component, it employs a wirewound element designed for stable, repeatable resistance across the full turn range. The compact panel‑mount form factor suits installations where a robust, manual 10‑turn control is required, and it is commonly used in instrumentation, lab equipment, and calibration applications where precise adjustment and long‑term stability matter. Overall, this pot delivers a precise 5 kΩ, 10-turn, linear response in a panel‑mount package with solder‑lug wiring, making it a reliable choice for demanding calibration and adjustment tasks.
