A potentiometer module is an electronic component used to control the amount of electrical resistance in a circuit. The following are some of the key features of a potentiometer module:
Adjustable resistance: A potentiometer module allows the resistance in a circuit to be adjusted. This can be useful for controlling the brightness of a light or the speed of a motor.
Linear or Logarithmic Taper: Potentiometer modules can have either a linear or logarithmic taper, which refers to the relationship between the position of the shaft and the resistance value.
Physical size: Potentiometer modules are available in a variety of sizes, the most common being through-hole and surface mount.
Shaft or Track Options: Some potentiometer modules have a rotating shaft that can be turned to adjust the resistance, while others have a sliding track that can be moved to control the resistance.
Resistance range: Potentiometer modules are available with a wide range of resistance values, from a few ohms to several kilo ohms.
Power rating: Potentiometer modules have a maximum power rating, which is the maximum amount of power that can be safely applied to the component without causing damage.
