POT 1K Ohm 3-Pin 15mm Shaft Potentiometer
📄 Description:
The 1K Ohm potentiometer is a three-terminal variable resistor used for adjusting voltage or signal levels in circuits. Featuring a 15mm shaft, it enables smooth manual control suitable for fine tuning in audio, sensor calibration, and other electronic projects.
By rotating the shaft, the wiper moves along a resistive track, varying resistance and producing an adjustable output voltage through a voltage divider arrangement.
