Key Features:

• Two-in-One Design: This potentiometer offers the best of both worlds. It’s suitable for use on a breadboard during the prototyping phase, and it’s also panel mountable for a more permanent setup in custom projects.
• Log Taper for Precise Control: This potentiometer features a logarithmic taper, making it ideal for applications like audio controls. Unlike linear pots, where resistance changes linearly with the knob’s position, a log potentiometer offers a more natural volume control experience that matches the human ear’s response.
• Smooth and Secure Operation: The grippy shaft ensures easy and comfortable turning while preventing accidental shifts. You can fine-tune your settings with confidence.
• Breadboard and Perfboard Compatibility: The potentiometer’s 0.2″ leg spacing with pin-points allows it to be plugged directly into a breadboard or perfboard, simplifying your prototyping process.
• Easy Integration: When your prototype is ready for a more permanent solution, simply drill a hole in your project box and mount the potentiometer using the included washer and hex nut.

Why Choose a Logarithmic Potentiometer (Log Pot)?

Logarithmic potentiometers are especially suited for audio control applications. Unlike linear pots, which produce a linear change in resistance, log pots provide a curve that closely matches how the human ear perceives sound. This means that adjustments on a log potentiometer result in more natural and smooth changes in volume. For example, at the halfway point, the volume remains moderate, but it increases more rapidly as you turn the knob further, creating a more pleasing and intuitive listening experience.

Mounting Made Easy:

Once you’re ready to transition from prototyping to a permanent setup, attaching this potentiometer to your project box is a breeze. The included washer and hex nut simplify the mounting process, ensuring a secure and stable fit.

Complete Your Setup:

Pair this potentiometer with our matching T18-splined knobs to achieve a polished and functional control interface for your projects.
