Description
Slider Potentiometer Single Linear Taper Slide Pot for Audio and Control Applications [Without Knob]
The Slider Potentiometer Single Linear Taper Slide Pot is a variable resistor designed to provide smooth and precise linear control in electronic circuits. Commonly used in audio mixers, amplifiers, equalizers, control panels, and DIY electronics, this slide-type potentiometer allows intuitive adjustment through a linear sliding motion.
These potentiometers are available in multiple resistance values and taper types, making them suitable for both signal-level control and general-purpose voltage adjustment. Their compact PCB-mount design ensures easy integration into audio equipment, instrumentation panels, and custom electronics projects.
Note: Knobs are sold separately—browse our fader knob collection to complete your setup.
