B10K 10k ohm 5-Pin Potentiometer with Switch

The B10K 10k ohm 5-pin potentiometer is a widely used electronic component in various electronic, industrial, and educational projects. This type of potentiometer offers a resistance of 10k ohm with five output pins, commonly used in voltage level adjustment circuits, light intensity control, motor speed regulation, and other similar applications. Its linear design allows resistance to change uniformly with the rotation of the shaft, providing users with high precision and smooth control.

Built with a durable body and solid mechanical structure, the B10K potentiometer delivers smooth and accurate performance with a long service life. Its pins are designed for easy soldering onto electronic boards, and the additional two pins enable secure mounting to a chassis or metal surface, ensuring reliable installation and stability during use.

The RV17 With Switch Potentiometer is an excellent choice for circuits requiring precise manual adjustments. Ideal for analog control applications, it is frequently used in Arduino projects, audio amplifier circuits, variable power supplies, and other manual control systems that demand accuracy and durability.
