The Rotary Potentiometer is a variable resistor used to adjust electrical resistance manually by rotating its shaft. It is commonly used for volume control, LED brightness adjustment, motor speed control, sensor circuits, Arduino projects, and analog signal control.

Features

• Three-terminal design
• Adjustable resistance
• Smooth rotary operation
• Compact construction
• Suitable for analog voltage control
• Easy to integrate into electronic circuits

Specifications

*The exact resistance and taper should be verified for the selected variant. The pictured component appears to be a 10kΩ potentiometer.

Pin Configuration

The middle pin is the wiper. Connecting one end and the wiper creates a variable resistor, while connecting all three terminals can be used as a voltage divider.

Applications

• Audio volume control
• LED brightness adjustment
• Motor speed control
• Arduino projects
• Analog sensor circuits
• LCD contrast adjustment
• Voltage adjustment
• DIY electronics
• Robotics projects
• Amplifier circuits

Advantages

• Simple and reliable operation
• Smooth resistance adjustment
• Easy to interface with microcontrollers
• Compact design
• Reusable
• Suitable for analog control applications

Package Includes

• 1 × Rotary Potentiometer

Note: Potentiometers are available in different resistance values such as 1kΩ, 5kΩ, 10kΩ, 50kΩ, and 100kΩ. Confirm the required resistance value before ordering. Do not exceed the potentiometer’s rated power or voltage.
