Metal Potentiometer 10KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 15mm

Metal Potentiometer 10KΩ 3Pin Plastic Shaft 15mm

The Metal Potentiometer 10 KΩ 3‑Pin with a 15 mm plastic shaft is a precision panel-mount device engineered for reliable voltage division in analog circuits. Encased in robust metal housing, it features a conductive‐plastic resistive element for smooth, low-noise operation and an insulated plastic shaft that withstands repeated adjustments without degrading the resistive track.

Designed to fit standard PCB layouts, its three terminals (two end‑tabs and one wiper) allow straightforward integration as a variable voltage divider or trim potentiometer. With a total resistance of 10 000 Ω, it offers linear taper characteristics for uniform output changes across the shaft rotation. The shaft’s 15 mm exposed length provides ample grip for manual tuning or coupling to panel knobs, while its 6 mm diameter (D‑shaft) ensures compatibility with common knob fittings. Internally, the element is rated for up to 100 000 adjustment cycles, guaranteeing long service life under frequent use.

The potentiometer operates effectively over a wide temperature range, maintaining stability in diverse environmental conditions. RoHS compliance confirms its suitability for modern, lead‑free electronics. With minimal bearing friction and precise taper conformity, this 10 KΩ P120‑series potentiometer delivers dependable performance in instrumentation, audio controls, sensor calibration, and other precision adjustment applications.

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.
