2k ohm Variable Resistor Trimmer Potentiometer (RM065) Pack 10

Description:

• The 2k ohm Variable Resistor Trimmer Potentiometer (RM065) is a small, adjustable resistor designed for fine-tuning electronic circuits.
• These "trimpots" are commonly used for calibration and precise adjustments where a fixed resistance value isn't suitable.  
• The RM065 designation refers to a specific package style, which is typically a compact, through-hole component.
• Because it is a trimmer potentiometer, it is meant for set and forget adjustments, not constant user alterations.

Key Features:

• Variable Resistance: Allows for adjustable resistance within the 2k ohm range.  
• RM065 Package: A compact and common form factor for trimpots.
• Through-Hole Mounting: Designed for easy installation on PCBs and breadboards.  
• Top Adjustment: Typically adjusted using a screwdriver.
• Pack of 10: Often sold in packs, providing multiple components for various projects.  
• 2k Ohm value: This is the total value of the resistance that this component provides.

Applications:

• Calibration: Fine-tuning electronic devices, such as sensors, amplifiers, and power supplies.
• Voltage Division: Adjusting voltage levels in circuits.
• LCD Contrast Adjustment: Controlling the contrast of LCD displays.
• Audio Equipment: Setting volume levels or fine-tuning audio circuits.
• Circuit Prototyping: Experimenting with variable resistance in circuit design.
• Sensor calibration: Adjusting the output of sensors.
