Description

This Panel Mount 10K Dual Logarithmic Potentiometer with On-Off Switch is a two-in-one device featuring a dual-ganged potentiometer along with an integrated on-off switch.

The potentiometer half consists of a dual standard log-taper 10Kohm potentiometer with a grippy, smooth shaft that is easy to turn yet firm enough to stay in place. It includes a built-in on/off switch at the start of the shaft's rotation, making it ideal for audio projects controlling both power and volume.

Unlike linear potentiometers, this logarithmic pot changes resistance on a curve, matching the human ear's perception of volume changes, providing a natural volume control experience.

This potentiometer is not breadboard friendly due to pin spacing and layout. It is recommended to solder wires or use a custom PCB.

Installation involves drilling a hole in your project enclosure to mount the potentiometer securely with the included washer and hex nut.

Features:

  • 10K dual log-taper potentiometer
  • Integrated on/off switch
  • Grippy, smooth rotating shaft
  • Dual-ganged potentiometer
  • Not breadboard friendly; requires soldering or custom PCB
  • Includes washer and hex nut for panel mounting

Technical Details:

  • Resistance: 10K ohm logarithmic taper
  • Durability: 100,000 cycle life
  • Body size: 16mm
  • Rotational travel: 300°
  • Static stop strength: 90 oz-in
  • Rotational torque: 0.5 to 1.25 oz-in
  • Product dimensions: 32.0mm x 20.0mm x 13.0mm (1.3" x 0.8" x 0.5")
  • Product weight: 7.6g (0.3oz)

The potentiometer is perfect for audio volume control projects where power switching and volume adjustment are needed in one component.
