Product Description (Detailed):

The 10KΩ potentiometer is a versatile rotary variable resistor with three terminals: two fixed and one adjustable wiper. It's used in a wide range of analog electronic circuits for adjusting signal levels, voltage settings, and controlling output such as volume, speed, or intensity.

This component is breadboard-compatible, easy to solder onto PCBs, and often paired with Arduino and microcontroller-based projects for analog input and control. Common uses include voltage divider circuits, sensor calibration, and analog signal tuning.

Some variants include a knob for manual adjustments, making it user-friendly in panel-mounted or enclosure applications.

How to Use:

1. Use center pin (wiper) and one side pin to get a variable resistance.

2. Use all three pins to create a voltage divider.

3. Connect to Arduino analog input (A0–A5) to read and tune analog values.

4. Rotate the knob to adjust output from 0V to input voltage (e.g., 5V).

Example: In Arduino, connect side pin to GND, other side pin to 5V, and wiper to A0 for analog input reading.

Applications:

• Volume control in audio systems

• Adjustable brightness or speed control

• Analog sensor calibration

• Voltage divider circuits in DIY electronics

• Input control for Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects

• Panel-mounted knobs for enclosures

Package Includes:

• 1 × 10KΩ Potentiometer (Rotary, 3-Pin)
