A panel-mount 10 kΩ logarithmic potentiometer with an integrated on/off switch. The logarithmic taper is designed for audio volume control — resistance increases on a curve that matches how the human ear perceives loudness, giving smooth and natural volume adjustment from quiet to full.
The built-in switch lets you control both power and volume with a single component, making it ideal for monophonic audio projects. The 0.2″ pin spacing fits standard perfboard, and the included washer and hex nut allow secure panel mounting once you're ready to move from prototype to enclosure.
Key Features
- 10 kΩ Logarithmic Taper – Natural volume curve for audio applications
- Built-in On/Off Switch – Combined power and volume control in one component
- Panel Mount – Includes washer and hex nut for enclosure mounting
- Grippy Shaft – Smooth rotation with enough resistance to prevent accidental movement
- Perfboard Compatible – 0.2″ pin spacing with pin-point legs
Ideal For
- Audio volume controls and amplifier projects
- Guitar pedal and effects builds
- Panel-mounted equipment with combined power/volume
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
- solderless breadboard
- A reusable board with connected holes for building temporary circuits without soldering. It matters in beginner kits because students can change wiring quickly and safely while learning how components connect.
