Overview

The ABB KT-100B Modular Potentiometer (SKU: KT-100B) delivers precise manual control for industrial automation, instrumentation, and control panel applications. This non-illuminated potentiometer features a black plastic knob with integrated white position indication and marking for clear, tactile adjustments. The modular design simplifies integration into existing systems, supporting shaft diameters of 6–6.35 mm with a minimum shaft length of 20 mm. Key specifications include a 10 kΩ resistance with a ±10 ohm tolerance, a 2W power rating, and a 280° mechanical angle for smooth, controlled operation. The unit operates reliably within a -1°C to +70°C temperature range and offers a mechanical life of 20,000 operations, ensuring sustained performance in demanding industrial environments. The black plastic bezel (KA1-8029) complements the design, providing a professional and discreet appearance. Manufactured in Germany, the KT-100B is part of ABB’s modular plastic range, designed for compatibility with pushbuttons, selector switches, pilot lights, and emergency stop pushbuttons. Its compact dimensions (29.6 x 44.5 mm bezel, Ø22 mm knob) and lightweight design (0.040 kg) make it ideal for space-constrained installations. The potentiometer is distributed by Gross Automation for quick procurement and support.
