Horizontal Trimming Potentiometer – 5kΩ, 5mm, Through-Hole

This 5kΩ horizontal trimming potentiometer is a compact adjustable component for setting and fine-tuning electronic circuits. Adjusting the trimmer changes its resistance, allowing students to investigate how resistance affects circuit operation.

Its 5mm size and through-hole mounting make it a practical choice for compatible printed circuit boards and student soldering projects.

Key Features

• 5kΩ resistance value: provides adjustment within its nominal resistance range.
• Horizontal configuration: suitable for projects requiring a horizontal trimmer.
• 5mm size: compact for projects with limited board space.
• Through-hole mounting: suitable for soldering into compatible circuit boards.
• Adjustable resistance: useful for circuit setup and calibration.

What’s Included

• 1 × 5kΩ horizontal trimming potentiometer, 5mm, through-hole.

Classroom Applications

Use in compatible circuits to adjust sensor thresholds, timing or other settings. Students can explore variable resistance, measure resistance with a multimeter and observe how adjustments change circuit behaviour.

Curriculum Connections

Supports practical investigations into resistance, circuit adjustment and testing in Australian secondary Design and Technologies, Victorian Systems Engineering and NSW Technology classrooms.
