Alpha Single-Gang 16mm Right-angle PC Mount – 5K Linear

This Alpha 5K Linear potentiometer is a two-in-one, good in a breadboard or with a panel. It’s a fairly standard linear taper 5K ohm potentiometer, with a grippy shaft. It’s smooth and easy to turn, but not so loose that it will shift on its own.

We like this one because the legs are 0.2′ apart with pin-points, so you can plug it into a breadboard or perfboard. Once you’re done prototyping, you can drill a hole into your project box and mount the potentiometer that way.

Folks love Alpha pots for their reliability and consistency – and we agree! They make great low-cost, high-quality potentiometers

Once you’re done prototyping, you can drill a hole into your project box and mount the potentiometer using the included washer and hex nut. We’ve got plenty of matching T18-splined knobs that you can find in the awesome extras section to the right.
