Labelmate potentiometer, 10K, MC

A precision rotary potentiometer from the MC Series, delivering a stable 10 kΩ resistance with a linear taper for smooth, predictable adjustments in audio and control circuits. Its carbon film element and knurled shaft make it a reliable choice for panel-mounted volume and tuning applications.

Advantages

The ±10% tolerance and 0.25 W power rating ensure consistent performance in low-power signal paths, while the 300° rotation angle provides fine-grained control. Solder lug terminals allow secure, permanent wiring, and the panel-mount design with a 6 mm knurled shaft integrates easily into existing enclosures.

Suitable for

• Audio equipment volume and tone controls
• Industrial control panels and instrumentation
• DIY electronics and prototyping projects
• Replacement for worn potentiometers in consumer devices

Recommendations

For best results, solder connections at moderate temperature to avoid damaging the carbon track. When replacing an existing potentiometer, verify shaft diameter and length match your knob and panel thickness. This component is ideal for general-purpose volume and control applications where a linear response is required.
