10K Ohm 103 Horizontal Type Trimpot Potentiometer / Variable Resistor (Pack of 20 )
SKU:Here’s a short description for a 103 potentiometer:
**103 Potentiometer (10kΩ)**
A 103 potentiometer is a 10kΩ variable resistor commonly used for adjusting levels in circuits such as brightness, volume, or signal tuning. It offers precise control and is ideal for projects requiring voltage adjustments or fine-tuning analog input values in electronic circuits. Suitable for DIY electronics, Arduino projects, and various applications in robotics and automation.

A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.[1] If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.
The measuring instrument called a potentiometer is essentially a voltage divider used for measuring electric potential (voltage); the component is an implementation of the same principle, hence its name.
Potentiometers are commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls on audio equipment. Potentiometers operated by a mechanism can be used as position transducers, for example, in a joystick. Potentiometers are rarely used to directly control significant power (more than a watt), since the power dissipated in the potentiometer would be comparable to the power in the controlled load.
There are a number of terms in the electronics industry used to describe certain types of potentiometers:
- slide pot or slider pot: a potentiometer that is adjusted by sliding the wiper left or right (or up and down, depending on the installation), usually with a finger or thumb
- thumb pot or thumbwheel pot: a small rotating potentiometer meant to be adjusted infrequently by means of a small thumbwheel
- trimpot or trimmer pot: a trimmer potentiometer typically meant to be adjusted once or infrequently for “fine-tuning” an electrical signal
