Potentiometer 2W 10K Ohm

The Potentiometer 2W 10K Ohm is a variable resistor with a 10 kΩ track and a 2 W power rating. Moving the wiper along the track changes the resistance between the middle terminal and each end, so the potentiometer gives an adjustable voltage or resistance. The 10 kΩ value is the standard choice for Arduino analog inputs, LCD contrast and user controls in all kinds of projects.

Potentiometer 2W 10K Ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 10 kΩ between the outer terminals
• Power rating: 2 W
• Type: variable resistor (potentiometer)
• Terminals: 3, two track ends and the middle wiper

Potentiometer 2W 10K Ohm Applications

• Reading a control position with an Arduino or ESP32 analog input
• Adjusting the contrast of 16x2 character LCDs
• Setting motor speed or LED brightness through a microcontroller
• Volume and tone controls
• Adjustable voltage dividers and calibration settings

What's in the Box

• 1 × 10 kΩ 2 W potentiometer

Tip: Connect the two outer terminals to 5 V and GND and the middle terminal to an analog input such as A0; adjusting it then gives readings from 0 to 1023 on an Arduino Uno. The 2 W rating applies to the whole track, so keep the current through the wiper low.
