5K Variable Resistors

A 5 kilo-ohm variable resistor for setting and adjusting circuit values. Used as a potential divider to produce an adjustable voltage, or as a two-terminal rheostat to control current. Common applications include setting bias points, adjusting sensor thresholds, controlling brightness and speed, and providing a variable analogue input to a microcontroller. Adjustable across the full resistance range; Works as a divider or a two-terminal rheostat; Suits threshold setting and circuit calibration; Standard footprint for common layouts
