Metal Potentiometer 10KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 30mm

From the shop's description

Metal Potentiometer 10KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 30mm The Metal Potentiometer 10 KΩ 3‑Pin with a 30 mm plastic shaft is a robust and versatile variable resistor designed for electronic applications requiring manual adjustment of resistance. It belongs to the P120 series, known for its compact size and consistent electrical performance. This potentiometer is housed in a durable metal casing that ensures mechanical strength and reliability during frequent adjustments. Its resistive element is based on conductive plastic, which offers low noise, smooth rotation, and a long operational life. With a total resistance of 10 KΩ and linear taper characteristics, the potentiometer delivers a proportional output relative to shaft rotation, ideal for precise control in voltage-dividing circuits. The 30 mm shaft, made from insulating plastic, extends well beyond the panel surface, providing easy access for manual tuning or integration with standard control knobs. The D‑shaped shaft ensures a secure fit with compatible knobs, and its 6 mm diameter matches industry standards. The device has three terminals: two for the ends of the resistive track and one for the adjustable wiper, making it suitable for use as a rheostat or voltage divider. Compact, lightweight, and easy to install on PCBs or panels, this potentiometer is engineered for reliability and fine control in analog circuits. Features: The 10KΩ Potentiometer is a three-terminal variable resistor that is used to vary or change the resistance. It is used to change different parameters in an electronic circuit, such as voltage, current, and so on. The 10KΩ Potentiometer is a passive electronic component that has two end terminals with a resistive element and the sliding contact called the wiper acts as the third terminal. Two other terminals present are used to facilitate stabilized mounting on PCB. It is mostly used in applications where a single turn can provide enough control resolution. An adjustable potentiometer can open up many interesting user interfaces. Turn the pot and the resistance changes.
