Res Conductive Plastic POT 5K Ohm 10% 2W 1(Elec)/1(Mech)Turns 6.35mm (36.52 X 27.78 X 36.12mm) Solder Lug Panel Mount Automotive Potentiometers are measuring instruments that are used to measure electric potential, i.e. voltage, in a circuit. These potentiometers were primarily used in measuring voltage, before the invention of moving coil and digital volt meters. This Honeywell potentiometer is used in a variety of applications like manual controls, telecommunications, electric vehicles, personal mobility, and off-road vehicles. 53C35K Potentiometer from Honeywell has robust nickel-plated brass shaft and bushings with conductive plastic element. The 53 series potentiometer is made with a rugged construction and comes with a linear taper. This Honeywell Potentiometer ensures long-lasting rotational performance of up to 25, 000 cycles.
