Categories: Potentiometers
Overview
Description
🔧 Key Specifications:
✔ Resistance Value: 5K Ohm (5,000 Ω) ✔ Taper Options:
-
Linear (B-Taper) – Uniform resistance change (ideal for calibration)
-
Logarithmic (A-Taper) – Audio-tapered response (volume controls) ✔ Shaft Type: 6mm D-Shaft (compatible with standard knobs) ✔ Terminals: 3-Pin (Pin 1 & 3 = Fixed Ends, Pin 2 = Wiper) ✔ Power Rating: 0.1W–0.5W (standard) ✔ Rotation Angle: 270°–300° ✔ Mounting Style: Panel-mount (threaded) or PCB-mount ✔ Material: Durable plastic/metal housing, carbon film element
✨ Key Benefits:
✅ Precision Adjustment – Ideal for sensitive circuits, trim controls, and small motor speed regulation ✅ Smooth Operation – Reliable carbon track for 50,000+ cycles ✅ Wide Compatibility – Works with Arduino, robotics, audio gear, and test equipment ✅ Secure Mounting – Threaded bushing for stable panel/PCB installation
🔌 Typical Applications:
-
Sensor calibration (trimpot replacement)
-
Small DC motor speed control (robotics, drones)
-
Audio equipment (gain/trim controls)
-
Test & measurement (voltage divider circuits)
-
DIY electronics (breadboard prototyping)
