Large Slider Potentiometer 5K ohm

The Large Slider Potentiometer 5K ohm is a slide potentiometer with a 5 kΩ resistive track and a lever that moves in a straight line instead of turning. You can see the setting at a glance and move it quickly with one finger, which suits faders and hands-on control panels. The 5 kΩ value is a good middle choice: it draws only about 1 mA at 5 V and gives clean, stable readings on Arduino and ESP32 analog inputs.

Large Slider Potentiometer 5K ohm Specifications

• Type: slide (straight-travel) potentiometer, large size
• Resistance: 5 kΩ end to end
• Control: lever moved along a straight track
• Function: the wiper picks off any voltage between the two track ends
• Track current at 5 V: about 1 mA

Large Slider Potentiometer 5K ohm Applications

• Fader-style controls for mixers, lighting desks and control panels
• MIDI controllers and DIY control surfaces
• Motor speed, LED brightness or servo position input for Arduino projects
• Adjustable reference voltages for test circuits
• Electronics classes and STEM demonstrations

What's in the Box

• 1 × large slider potentiometer, 5 kΩ

Tip: Wire the two track-end pins to 5 V (or 3.3 V) and GND and the wiper pin to an analog input, then use analogRead() to get a value from 0 to 1023 on an Arduino Uno. Check the pin markings on the body, as the pin layout varies between slider models.
