Description

This potentiometer combines a 10K ohm logarithmic taper potentiometer with a built-in on-off switch, making it ideal for audio projects requiring volume and power control.

The potentiometer features a grippy shaft for easy turning without slipping and legs spaced 0.2" apart for easy perfboard installation. Note that the switch and pot pin spacing is 0.2", so it may require bending pins for solderless breadboard use.

Features:

  • 10K ohm logarithmic taper potentiometer suitable for audio volume control
  • Built-in on-off switch for power control
  • Smooth and easy to turn with 300° rotational travel
  • 0.2" spaced legs compatible with perfboard
  • Mountable panel design with included washer and hex nut
  • 100,000 cycle life for durability

The logarithmic tapers align with human ear perception, providing moderate volume at mid settings and sharper increases at higher settings.
