This 35 mm slide potentiometer offers a compact, linear input control for your projects. Use it as a voltage divider where the slider position gives you a visual indication of the output level — perfect for mixing boards, LED brightness controls, and interactive prototypes.
The 10 kΩ linear taper pot comes with a grippy plastic knob and three solder legs that also fit into solderless breadboards or perfboard with larger holes.
Specifications
- Resistance: 10 kΩ
- Taper: Linear
- Travel Length: 35 mm
- Connections: 3 solder legs
- Knob: Plastic (included)
Ideal For
- Breadboard prototyping and Arduino projects
- Audio mixer and volume control interfaces
- LED brightness and motor speed controls
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- 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.
