Description:
This potentiometer is a two-in-onegood in a breadboard or with a panel. Its a fairly standard linear taper 10K ohm potentiometerwith a grippy shaft. Its smooth and easy to turnbut not so loose that it will shift on its own. We like this one because the legs are 0.2" apart with pin-pointsso you can plug it into a breadboard or perfboard. Once you\'re done prototypingyou can drill a hole into your project box and mount the potentiometer that way.
Specification :
- A 10k potentiometer is a variable resistor that has a total resistance of 10,000 ohms. It is a three-terminal device with a rotating shaft that allows for the adjustment of the resistance between the first and third terminals, while the second terminal remains fixed.
- The specifications of a 10k potentiometer can vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific model, but some common specifications include:
- Power rating: The maximum amount of power that the potentiometer can handle without damage. A typical power rating for a 10k potentiometer is 0.25 watts.
- Tolerance: The maximum allowable deviation from the specified resistance value. A common tolerance for a 10k potentiometer is 10%.
- Maximum voltage: The maximum voltage that can be applied across the potentiometer without causing damage. A typical maximum voltage for a 10k potentiometer is 200 volts.
- Operating temperature range: The range of temperatures over which the potentiometer can operate safely and within specification. A common operating temperature range for a 10k potentiometer is -10°C to +85°C.
- Potentiometers are commonly used as voltage dividers, volume controls, and in other applications where a variable resistance is needed.
