Volume or audio control where a linear taper just doesn't feel right? You need the log (A) curve, and this 5K pot gives you exactly that. Full-size 24mm single gang with a 6.35mm shaft – 38mm long, flat-machined for your knob or grub screw. The 3/8" 32 T.H.D. bushing locks it to the panel. Solder the phenolic pins in and the pot stands on its own, no extra hardware. Pins are generous enough for screened cable if you're wiring it in by hand. Standardised pin layout means your PCB art stays consistent across builds
