5k Ohm 0.125W Linear Taper Potentiometer with Solder Lugs
5k Ohm 0.125W Linear Taper Potentiometer with Solder Lugs
This ALPHA 5k ohm linear taper potentiometer gives you smooth, even control for a wide range of everyday electronics. Its small 17mm body fits neatly into project boxes, control panels, and instrument builds.
Because it uses a Type B linear taper, the 5k ohm value adjusts in equal steps through the full rotation, which makes it easy to dial in the exact setting you want.
Versatile 5k Ohm Potentiometer for Everyday Projects
A 5k ohm linear pot suits sensor circuits, control voltage adjustment, position and joystick sensing, and general purpose tuning. The exposed solder lugs make wiring simple with standard hookup wire.
Simple Panel Mounting with a Standard Shaft
The threaded bushing, mounting nut, and knurled T18 spline shaft let this 5k potentiometer install in common panels and take most push-on control knobs.
Smooth, Predictable Adjustment
At roughly half rotation the 5k ohm linear potentiometer (Vetco SKU TEA-1970) delivers about half of its total resistance, giving you steady, repeatable control for calibration and experimentation.
