The 10K Ohm Potentiometer (B10K) is a versatile 3-terminal variable resistor designed for smooth manual adjustment of voltage and signal levels in electronic circuits. 200V DC.
The 10K Ohm Potentiometer (B10K) is a versatile 3-terminal variable resistor designed for smooth manual adjustment of voltage and signal levels in electronic circuits. Featuring a 10,000-ohm (10kΩ) total track resistance with a linear taper (Type B), it provides a proportional change in resistance relative to the shaft rotation angle.
Equipped with a standard knurled/split metal shaft and a threaded mounting bushing with nut and washer, this potentiometer can be panel-mounted or plugged directly into breadboards and prototyping PCBs using its 3-pin solder lug/PCB terminals. The 10kΩ value is the universal standard for analog reference adjustment in microcontroller circuits.
It is widely used for tuning LCD display contrast (such as 16x2 LCD modules), audio volume and tone adjustment, variable voltage dividers, speed controllers, and providing precise analog control inputs for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PIC, AVR, and general DIY prototyping.
