Product Overview
PEC RV4NAYSD202A is a 2K ohm linear taper potentiometer built to the RV4 military style specification. The RV4 designation identifies a 1.125 inch diameter hot-molded carbon element rated at 2 Watts at 70°C. The “202” resistance code corresponds to 2,000 ohms, and the final “A” indicates linear taper.
This unit features a standard 3/8"-32 threaded bushing, dust-resistant enclosure, and slotted metal shaft. Designed for high-reliability service in industrial and defense equipment, the RV4 series is known for solid carbon composition construction and long rotational life. It remains a preferred choice in demanding audio, instrumentation, and control applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a linear or audio taper potentiometer?
This unit is linear taper, designated by the “A” suffix in the RV4 series nomenclature.
What does the 202 code mean?
“202” represents 20 with two zeros, equaling 2,000 ohms (2K).
What power level can it handle?
The RV4 style is rated at 2 Watts at 70°C, with power derating at higher temperatures.
What mounting hardware does it use?
It uses a standard 3/8"-32 threaded bushing for panel mounting and solder lug terminals for wiring.
Can this be used in audio equipment?
Yes. While originally designed for high-reliability industrial and military applications, RV4 pots are frequently used in professional audio and amplifier builds requiring durable, smooth linear response.
Heavy can, molded carbon core, built for environments harsher than most benches will ever see. If your project calls for a control that feels solid and stays that way, this RV4 is ready for the panel.
