Description
POT 5K Ohm 3-Pin 15mm Shaft Potentiometer
📄 Description:
The 5K Ohm potentiometer is a three-terminal variable resistor designed to provide adjustable resistance in electronic circuits. With a 15mm shaft, it offers smooth manual tuning for applications that require fine resistance control such as sensor calibration, volume control, or voltage adjustment.
It functions as a voltage divider, where rotating the shaft changes the resistance between the wiper and terminals, allowing variable output.
