10K Potentiometer RK097N – 3‑Pin Rotary Type 🎚️

The 10K RK097N Potentiometer is a compact, high-quality rotary potentiometer designed for smooth and precise analog resistance control. With a nominal 10,000 Ω rating and a standard 3‑pin layout (end terminals plus wiper), it is ideal for volume, tone, calibration, and general-purpose control in audio and electronic devices. Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi (via ADC module), and other microcontroller-based projects.

⚙️ Key Features

• 10K resistance for reliable analog control and tuning.
• Rotary type with smooth, low-friction turning action for fine adjustment.
• 3‑pin configuration for easy PCB mounting and straightforward wiring.
• Compact and durable construction suitable for front-panel or internal adjustments.
• Microcontroller-friendly: works with Arduino analog inputs and with Raspberry Pi via an external ADC module.

🧰 Technical Highlights

• Model: RK097N
• Type: Rotary potentiometer, 3 terminals (2 ends + wiper)
• Resistance Value: 10 kΩ nominal
• Function: Voltage divider or variable resistor (rheostat)
• Adjustment: Manual shaft rotation, smooth tactile feel

🔍 Applications

• Audio volume and tone control circuits
• Analog circuit tuning and calibration
• DIY electronics and prototyping
• Instrumentation and control systems
• Microcontroller projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi (with ADC), ESP32, and similar development boards

🧪 Quick Connection Guide

• Connect one end terminal to VCC (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) and the other end to GND.
• Connect the wiper (middle pin) to an analog input (ADC) on your microcontroller, or to an external ADC module (e.g., MCP3008) for Raspberry Pi.
• For rheostat use, connect the wiper and one end terminal only.
