A compact 10K ohm linear potentiometer with a built-in knurled plastic knob — no separate knob needed. The 0.1" pin spacing plugs directly into a standard breadboard, making it perfect for prototyping and quick adjustments.
Larger than a trim-pot but smaller than a full-size panel-mount potentiometer, this component strikes a nice balance between easy finger adjustment and compact footprint. The white stripe on the knob provides a clear position indicator.
