16mm Linear B5K, B10K, B20K & B100K carbon potentiometer

Description

These compact 16mm carbon potentiometers offer reliable, linear (B-taper) resistance for precise voltage division, signal trimming, and analog control in DIY electronics and audio circuits. They feature 3 solder lugs, a 6mm knurled shaft, and a standardized build for seamless breadboard or panel mounting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

• B5K (5 k\(\Omega \)): Ideal for low-impedance circuits, gain control, and basic Arduino/microcontroller sensor interfaces.
• B10K (10 k\(\Omega \)): The most common general-purpose value; perfect for analog signal calibration and standard tone/volume applications.
• B20K (20 k\(\Omega \)): Frequently used in specialized audio tone controls, synthesizer modules, and precise multi-purpose circuit tuning.
• B100K (100 k\(\Omega \)): Best suited for higher-impedance applications, including sensitive sensor adjustments and pre-amp circuit parameters. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
