A dual-ganged 10K linear potentiometer with a built-in on/off switch — two components in one convenient panel-mount package. The dual 10 kΩ linear-taper pots share a grippy shaft that turns smoothly without shifting on its own, and the on/off switch activates at the beginning of the shaft's rotation.

Designed for panel mounting with an included washer and hex nut — drill a hole in your project enclosure and secure it in place. Pair it with a T18-splined knob for a finished look.

Key Features

  • Dual-Ganged 10 kΩ Linear Taper – Two potentiometers on a single shaft
  • Built-In On/Off Switch – Activates at the start of rotation
  • Panel Mount Design – Includes washer and hex nut for secure mounting
  • Grippy Shaft – Smooth rotation with enough resistance to hold position

Specifications

  • Resistance: 10 kΩ (dual)
  • Taper: Linear
  • Switch: On/off, integrated
  • Mounting: Panel mount (washer and hex nut included)
  • Pin Spacing: ~0.15″ (not breadboard-compatible)
Note: This potentiometer is not breadboard-friendly — the pin spacing is approximately 0.15″ and the rows are too close together. Solder wires directly to the pins or design a custom PCB.

Ideal For

  • Audio volume and tone controls
  • Panel-mounted project enclosures
  • Custom electronics with power switching

Package Contents

  • 1× 10K Dual Linear Potentiometer with On/Off Switch
  • 1× Washer
  • 1× Hex Nut

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

PCB
A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
potentiometer
A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
