With a 10k Ohm resistance range, the 3Pcs 10K Ohm Linear Taper Rotary Potentiometer regulates voltage in analog circuits. Under the 0.5W power rating, output remains stable through a 300-degree rotation. Standard 7mm mounting holes facilitate integration into external project enclosures.
Key Features
- Linear Taper (Type B): Adjusts resistance at a constant rate across the rotation. Output values remain predictable for precise calibration.
- 6mm Knurled Shaft: 15mm shaft length fits standard push-on or screw-set knobs. Matches existing hardware without needing custom adapters.
- Panel Mount Design: Nut and washer hardware secures the unit in a 7mm hole. Stays in place during aggressive manual adjustments.
- 100,000 Cycle Life: Durable metal construction survives long-term use in control panels. Mechanical parts won't fail after repeated daily turns.
- 3-Pin Solder Lugs: Standard terminal spacing facilitates direct wire soldering or PCB integration. Connections stay reliable despite local road dust/pollution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to connect a 3 pin 10k potentiometer?
Connect the input and ground to the outer terminals. The middle pin outputs the adjusted variable voltage.
What is the difference between linear and log potentiometer?
Linear potentiometers change resistance evenly for each degree of rotation. Logarithmic versions follow a curved scale specifically for audio volume.
