Potentiometer 5K(5pcs)

The Potentiometer 5K pack contains 5 variable resistors with a total resistance of 5 kΩ each. Turning the adjuster moves the wiper along the resistive track, giving you a hand-set resistance or voltage. The 5 kΩ value works well as an adjustable voltage divider for microcontroller analog inputs and for setting levels, bias and calibration points in circuits.

Potentiometer 5K Specifications

• Total resistance: 5 kΩ between the two outer terminals
• Terminals: 3 (two track ends and the middle wiper)
• Function: adjustable voltage divider, or variable resistor (rheostat) using the wiper and one end
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Potentiometer 5K Applications

• Analog input knobs for Arduino and ESP32 projects
• Setting LCD contrast and sensor thresholds
• Bias and offset adjustment in transistor and op-amp circuits
• Calibration points on power supply and sensor boards
• Replacement part in electronics repair

What's in the Box

• 5 × 5 kΩ potentiometers

Tip: For an analog input, connect the outer pins to 5 V (or 3.3 V) and GND and the middle pin to the analog pin; across 5 V a 5 kΩ track draws only about 1 mA. When you use it as a variable resistor in series with a load, add a fixed resistor so the current stays safe at 0 Ω.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
